HyperDX vs Superwise: at a glance
What is HyperDX?
HyperDX now tags every ClickHouse query it runs, so teams can see which dashboard drives the load.
HyperDX ships as a monorepo of versioned packages (app, api, CLI, common-utils, collector), so one release shows up as several changelog entries. The 2.41.0 wave on October 13 adds PromQL heatmaps, a minimum auto granularity on PromQL sources, and query attribution: every ClickHouse and PromQL query carries an hdx- query_id and a JSON log_comment naming the dashboard, tile, search or alert behind it. The API also stops falling back to a public session secret, and AI assistant calls now emit OpenTelemetry GenAI-convention spans.
What is Superwise?
Superwise is turning its LLM gateway into a FinOps console for model fleets
Superwise's Sentinel line has gained an observability layer in two steps: a live fleet-wide activity log of every interaction crossing the gateways, then a FinOps dashboard reporting token consumption, cache-hit rate, reasoning ratio and output-to-input ratio by provider, model and sentinel. Both are explicitly metadata-only, with prompts and responses staying inside the customer's environment.

◆ Current state
HyperDX ships as a monorepo of versioned packages (app, api, CLI, common-utils, collector), so one release shows up as several changelog entries. The 2.41.0 wave on October 13 adds PromQL heatmaps, a minimum auto granularity on PromQL sources, and query attribution: every ClickHouse and PromQL query carries an hdx- query_id and a JSON log_comment naming the dashboard, tile, search or alert behind it. The API also stops falling back to a public session secret, and AI assistant calls now emit OpenTelemetry GenAI-convention spans.
◆ Where it's heading
Two threads continue: Grafana-style metrics parity (multi-expression PromQL, macros, granularity floors, now heatmaps) and controlling query cost on ClickHouse (bounded Map-key scans, now per-surface query attribution in system.query_log). Security defaults are being tightened for self-hosted deployments, and HyperDX is applying OpenTelemetry's GenAI conventions to its own AI features. The CLI keeps picking up the web app's chart types.
◆ Prediction
Expect query attribution to show up inside the product, for example per-dashboard cost views or limits, and more PromQL visualization types to catch up with the builder. The entries don't show a timeline for either.

Superwise is turning its LLM gateway into a FinOps console for model fleets
◆ Current state
Superwise's Sentinel line has gained an observability layer in two steps: a live fleet-wide activity log of every interaction crossing the gateways, then a FinOps dashboard reporting token consumption, cache-hit rate, reasoning ratio and output-to-input ratio by provider, model and sentinel. Both are explicitly metadata-only, with prompts and responses staying inside the customer's environment.
◆ Where it's heading
The product is moving from policy enforcement toward cost accountability, and the metadata-only boundary is being used as the selling point rather than a limitation. Underneath, routine work continues on gateway sharing, policy previews and keeping the supported model list current.
◆ Prediction
Cost visibility usually precedes cost control, so expect budget thresholds or routing policies that act on the FinOps metrics rather than only reporting them.
