Meet LangSmith
What LangSmith helps you do
LangSmith helps developers inspect LLM runs and evaluate application behaviour. Use traces and a small labelled dataset to find whether a failure comes from retrieval, prompting or a tool call.
Best for: Tracing and evaluating LLM applications.
A small task to try
- Instrument a test application rather than a production conversation
- Create five synthetic questions with known expected answers
- Run the current prompt and inspect a failed trace
- Compare a revised prompt on the same dataset
Illustrative input: Evaluate a FAQ bot against five questions, including one that has no answer in the source.
Illustrative expected result: A run-by-run comparison showing source-grounded answers and an explicit unknown response. This is an editorial example, not a recorded vendor test. Check it against your original material before using it.
Access and buying guidance
Developer is USD 0 with one seat and 5,000 base traces/month; extra usage is metered. Plus and deployment options add costs. Check retention and trace types on the pricing page.
Useful evaluation requires labelled examples and clear success criteria. Start with the smallest useful task; keep the original input and compare the result before committing to a larger workflow.
Alternatives for a different workflow
Dify: inspect runs in an application builder. Langflow: prototype the flow before instrumenting it.

Where it helps
- Trace inspection makes multi-step failures easier to locate
- A saved dataset gives prompt changes a repeatable comparison
- Evaluation separates a convincing answer from one that passes your task criteria
What to consider
- Useful evaluation requires labelled examples and clear success criteria
- Trace allowances, deployment compute and model API costs are separate
