Pros & cons
Advantages
- Clear visibility into API usage and associated costs
- Helps identify inefficient prompts and reduce spending
- Useful for debugging unexpected model behaviour
- Simple integration into existing applications

- Free tier has restrictions on data retention and request history
- Privacy consideration: sends request and response data to third-party service
- May introduce slight latency to API calls
