Jul 18, 2025

This month, July 2025, Humanloop shared that it has been acquired and will sunset its platform on September 8th, 2025. This includes shutting down access to its LLM observability, evaluation, and prompt management tools.

If you're one of the many teams depending on Humanloop for LLM evaluations, trace logs, or experimentation workflows, now is the time to plan your migration.

LangWatch is the ideal Humanloop alternative and we’re offering free, supported, automated migration to help you make the switch quickly and confidently.

Why LangWatch is a natural Humanloop alternative

LangWatch is built for engineering and AI teams that want to ship LLM-powered applications with confidence. Whether you're using Humanloop for evaluations, observability, or prompt development, we cover the same use cases, while offering more flexibility and depth.

Free Migration Support: From Humanloop to LangWatch

We’ve already helped teams move from Humanloop to LangWatch with minimal effort. Our support includes:

  • One-on-one onboarding to understand your current setup

  • Scripted exports for Humanloop traces and evaluation results

  • Data conversion to LangWatch-compatible formats

  • Rebuilding key flows like evals, traces, and tagging

  • SDK/API setup tailored to your stack (LangChain, OpenAI SDK, etc.)

Whether you’re tracking prompt performance or evaluating agent behavior, we make sure you don’t lose history or momentum.

Evaluation, Observability & AI Agent Testing in one platform

LangWatch doesn’t just replace Humanloop. It extends what’s possible with modern GenAI development workflows:

  • Advanced Evaluations: Use judge models, custom Python metrics, or DSPy-style logic to test prompts, models, or entire pipelines.

  • Production Observability: Every trace, version, and user feedback is captured and queryable.

  • Agent Simulations: Run complex tests on multi-step agent flows to prevent regressions before they ship.

  • Hybrid/On-Prem Friendly: No need to send sensitive data to our cloud. You control your runtime environment.

  • Guardrails: Set up alerts and quality thresholds to catch failures in real-time.

Who is LangWatch for?

  • AI product teams validating prompt strategies and model performance

  • LLM engineers building agent-based tools or multi-step pipelines

  • Platform teams standardizing evaluation and audit processes

  • Fintech, B2B SaaS, and regulated industries needing control over the LLM outputs and AI agents

  • Team experimenting with AI agents and are unsure to put them in production without the right control.

Whether you’re a scale-up or scaling enterprise, LangWatch offers the observability and control that Humanloop users expect, with greater flexibility.

"Now we have enterprise-grade baselines. When we deploy new versions, we instantly validate performance against our quality standards — it's given us tremendous confidence in our releases.”
