ClawHQ vs Helicone
LLM proxy vs fleet command center
Helicone is an LLM observability proxy focused on API logging and request-level cost tracking. ClawHQ is a fleet management command center with a real-time dashboard, cost intelligence, task board, and skill marketplace — all purpose-built for managing AI agent fleets.
Why teams switch from Helicone to ClawHQ
Agent-level, not request-level
Helicone tracks individual LLM calls. ClawHQ aggregates costs by agent, model, and task — giving you the big picture of where money goes.
No proxy, no latency
Helicone sits between you and your LLM provider, adding latency. ClawHQ receives async metrics with zero impact on your API calls.
Budget alerts prevent surprise bills
Set per-agent and global budget thresholds. Get notified before you overspend, not after.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use Helicone and ClawHQ together?
Yes. Helicone handles request-level logging while ClawHQ provides agent-level cost management and budget alerts. They serve different layers.
Does ClawHQ add latency like a proxy?
No. ClawHQ receives OTLP metrics asynchronously. Your LLM calls go directly to providers with zero added latency.
How does cost tracking differ?
Helicone shows per-request costs. ClawHQ shows cost per agent, per model, per task, with trends, budgets, and optimization recommendations.
Which is better for a team managing multiple agents?
ClawHQ, because it provides fleet-wide cost visibility and per-agent budget controls that Helicone doesn't offer.
