Why I Ditched Helicone for a EU-Hosted LLM Observability Platform (and Saved €400/month)

Short summary

A European startup switched from Helicone (US-based) to AIWatch, an EU-hosted LLM observability platform, after discovering customer data was flowing through US servers—a GDPR compliance concern. The migration took under 10 minutes and delivers €400/month savings while providing full data sovereignty and AI Act compliance. Recommended for European teams running production AI systems with sensitive customer data.

  • •Compliance-driven migration from US to EU-hosted LLM observability tooling
  • •€400/month cost savings with rapid deployment (10-min migration)
  • •Data residency and AI Act compliance for European product teams

Generated with AI, which can make mistakes.
