Keep the SDK you already import
The proxy speaks each provider natively, so streaming, tools and structured output keep working untouched.

Reasonable questions
- How does instrumentation work?
- Change your provider baseURL or use our drop-in SDK to capture request logs, cost, and latency. Streaming responses are supported, and request logs are saved asynchronously.
- What about latency overhead?
- Request logs are saved asynchronously, reducing the time spent waiting for log storage during request handling. See our benchmarks for measured CPU work and the measurement method.
- How do you handle PII?
- PII detectors (SSN, credit card, email, IBAN, passport, etc.) run at log time and flag matches for review in the Security dashboard, without blocking the request. API keys that slip into prompts are auto-masked before the row lands on disk. For workloads where prompt bodies must not be stored at all, opt out per-call with X-Spanlens-Log-Body: meta.
- Do you support OpenTelemetry?
- Yes. OTLP/HTTP ingest and export. Your existing OTel tracing flows into the same span store; LLM spans get LLM-specific attributes on top.
- What's the data retention?
- Free is 14 days. Pro is 90 days, Team is 365 days. Enterprise & self-hosted are configurable, including unlimited.
- Can I export my data?
- Export request data in CSV, JSON, or JSONL for analysis and reporting.
- Can Spanlens tell me if a prompt actually got better?
- Yes. Evals scores responses with an LLM-as-judge on a 0 to 1 scale, per prompt version. Pair it with Experiments to replay a dataset across versions and models, so you compare quality, cost, and latency on the same inputs before you roll out.
- Does Spanlens work for a whole team?
- Projects isolate workloads, roles and invitations manage access, and audit logs record every change. Team and Enterprise add Slack, webhooks, unlimited alerts, and SSO.
Priced on requests, seats included
