What Helicone is
Helicone sits as a gateway/proxy for LLM API calls: logging, cost, and observability for traffic you send through it.
What Taigris is
Most Copilot, Slack AI, and JAX calls never hit your Helicone proxy. Taigris is proof on those surfaces plus frontier clients, customer-owned.
Overlap, and the mistake
Gateway logs are a trail of *your* API spend. They are silent on vendor-embedded assistants.
Choose Helicone when
- You proxy model API calls and need cost/latency logs.
Choose Taigris when
- You need proof of AI inside SaaS tools you do not proxy, customer-owned.
