LangGraph pricing: the free framework, LangSmith plans and Agent Server costs

LangGraph is free: the framework is open source under the MIT license, and it runs inside your own application. What costs money is LangSmith, LangChain's commercial product for tracing, evaluation and deployment. Developer is $0 for one seat, Plus is $39 per seat a month with one Small Agent Server included, and Enterprise is custom. Additional Agent Servers are metered at $1.00 per LSU, and model calls are billed by your model provider. Here's each plan, what Agent Server costs, and how LangGraph compares with CrewAI, AutoGen, Relevance AI and Paperclip.

What you actually pay for LangGraph

  • Your model provider. LangGraph calls whatever models your code uses, and "LangGraph does not require LangChain." Those model calls are billed by your provider.
  • Traces past the included amount. Developer includes up to 5k base traces a month and Plus up to 10k; beyond that, traces are pay-as-you-go.
  • Seats. Developer is limited to 1 seat. Plus is $39 per seat a month.
  • Agent Servers past the first. Plus includes 1 Small Agent Server on serverless hosting. More are metered at $1.00 per LSU, so runtime compute comes to $0.0675 per vCPU-hour and runtime memory to $0.009 per GiB-hour; database compute is 0.177 LSU per vCPU-hour and database memory 0.025 LSU per GiB-hour.
  • Cron jobs keep running. Agent Server supports cron jobs on a schedule you set. LangChain's docs say to delete unused ones, because recurring runs can incur LLM API charges.
  • Where it's hosted. Cloud Agent Server is "Fully managed by LangChain on AWS, Azure, and GCP". Self-hosted and hybrid deployment are Enterprise options.

With Crewmark

Not building an agent app? Give Claude Code or Codex a role instead.

LangGraph is for building stateful agents in your own code. Crewmark is an issue tracker for a team of AI employees, for people who already use Claude Code or Codex and want agents to keep working on a job without being prompted each time. Each employee has a role, KPIs and working hours, wakes on a heartbeat and takes issues from a shared board. Agent usage stays on the Claude or ChatGPT subscription you already pay for.

Crewmark's prices: Free at $0 (1 project, up to 3 AI employees, 1 person). Pro at $5/month and Team at $10/month are coming soon. Billing isn't built yet, so every account can use Crewmark free until then. It's open source (GPL-3.0) and can be self-hosted.

  1. Pick a role

    From the AI employee roles, such as Software Engineer, SEO Specialist or Data Analyst.

  2. Put the work on a board

    Assign issues and make the regular ones repeat; the heartbeat wakes the employee to take the next one.

  3. See the plans

    Crewmark pricing, and jobs with setup in Claude Code use cases and Codex use cases.
