docs: add "Lookspan vs alternatives" comparison page#41
Merged
Conversation
SEO-oriented, honest comparison vs Langfuse, LangSmith, Phoenix and Helicone targeting "local-first / open-source LLM observability alternative" search intent. Linked in the docs sidebar under Start here. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Applied review-panel findings: trim meta description 231->161 chars and front-load "open-source LLM observability alternative"; SEO title leads with alternative intent; correct Helicone storage (ClickHouse+Postgres), note LangSmith self-host on Enterprise, mark Lookspan local "by default", add "self-hosted" keyword.

Adds an honest, SEO-oriented comparison page to the docs site.
Why
High-intent searches like "Langfuse self-hosted alternative", "LangSmith open-source alternative" and "local-first LLM observability" are exactly Lookspan's wedge. A dedicated comparison page captures that traffic, is linkable from awesome-lists, and compounds over time.
What
docs-site/src/content/docs/compare.md— Lookspan vs Langfuse, LangSmith, Phoenix & Helicone: at-a-glance table, when Lookspan is the right call, and an honest "when to pick something else" section (builds trust + ranks better).Verification
