LangChain in one minute

Best for: Prototyping LLM apps and agents with lots of integrations.

Biggest catch: Abstractions can feel over-engineered, and many teams move to direct API calls for production.

Skip it if: You're building a simple, latency-sensitive app that calls one LLM API.

Price: Framework: free. LangSmith Developer $0 (1 seat, 5k traces/mo), Plus $39/seat/mo + usage, Enterprise custom. (checked Oct 11, 2026)
