Is Helicone still a usable product?

The gateway side continues to ship. The hosted analytics surface is in maintenance mode following the Mintlify acquisition in March 2026, and Experiments was deprecated in September 2025. Teams evaluating analytics today should treat that as a hard signal.

Can I use Helicone's gateway with Moda?

Yes. Forward Helicone request data via OpenTelemetry; Moda processes the conversation-level signal on top.

Does Moda offer a gateway?

No. Moda ingests from your runtime — we don't proxy LLM provider calls. If you need a routable gateway, pair Moda with whatever gateway you already use.

Moda vs Helicone

Helicone is a Rust-based AI gateway plus request-level observability (sessions, prompts, user analytics, alerts). In March 2026 Helicone was acquired by Mintlify, and the standalone product moved into maintenance mode — Experiments was deprecated in September 2025, and no new feature work is shipping. For teams evaluating an active analytics product, Helicone is no longer the right fit; for gateway-only needs the OSS Rust gateway continues to ship.

When the question is what users want, where the agent fails behaviorally, and why users get frustrated — and when you need a product that's still receiving feature investment.
