What is LangChain?

LangChain is an open-source framework for building applications powered by large language models, providing abstractions for prompts, tools, and agent loops that work across many model providers and vector stores. Its companion LangGraph runtime adds durable, stateful orchestration for long-running agents, while LangSmith provides tracing, debugging, and evaluation for the whole stack.

The LangChain framework itself is free. LangSmith offers a free Developer tier with 5,000 traces a month, a Plus tier at $39 per seat per month with 10,000 base traces included, and a custom-priced Enterprise tier with self-hosted or hybrid deployment, SSO, and support SLAs. Usage beyond included limits is billed per trace or compute unit.
