Editorial take
Why it stands out
Opik should be framed as an AI engineering platform for tracing and evals, not just as another logging tool.

Tool profile
Open-source LLM observability and evaluation platform from Comet with tracing, datasets, LLM-as-a-judge metrics, and a clear free-to-pro pricing ladder.
LLM observability
Opik belongs in the database because it is one of the stronger open-source-rooted platforms for debugging, evaluating, and improving LLM applications. The official docs describe it as an open-source logging, debugging, and optimization platform for AI agents and LLM applications, while the product pages emphasize traces, experiments, datasets, scoring, agent optimization, and guardrails. That makes Opik more than a trace viewer. It is a real AI engineering platform for teams trying to improve system quality over time.
It also deserves inclusion because the pricing is unusually legible. Comet currently offers Opik Open Source at $0, Free Cloud at $0 with 25k spans per month, Pro Cloud at $19/month with 100k spans per month, and Enterprise as custom pricing. That combination of OSS availability and clear hosted packaging makes Opik a high-quality entry for teams deciding whether they want self-hosting, free cloud development, or a paid observability workflow.
