Evidently is an open-source Python framework for evaluating, testing, and monitoring AI systems — from tabular ML models to LLM apps, RAG pipelines, and agents. It ships 100+ built-in metrics covering data drift, quality, hallucinations, PII leaks, and jailbreaks, plus LLM-as-judge scoring and monitoring dashboards. Evidently Cloud adds a hosted service with no-code evals, alerting, and team management on top of the open library.

Pros & cons

  • Open source (Apache-2.0), self-hostable
  • Covers both ML and LLM evaluation
  • 100+ built-in metrics and presets
  • LLM-as-judge plus drift detection
  • Optional hosted cloud with free tier
  • Python-library learning curve
  • Less agent-trace-centric than rivals
  • Cloud features gated to paid tiers
  • Reports can get heavy at scale

    Langfuse

    Langfuse

    Open-source LLM observability. Self-hostable, OpenTelemetry-native.

    Tracing, evals, prompt management, and dataset tooling for LLM apps — self-host on your own infra or use Langfuse Cloud. The open-source default when you want full ownership of your observability stack.

    Worth knowing

    Y Combinator W23 startup; acquired by ClickHouse in January 2026.

    Arize Phoenix

    Arize AI

    LLM tracing + evaluation. Strong on retrieval debugging.

    Phoenix is Arize's observability platform — run locally in a notebook or as a hosted service. Especially strong for inspecting RAG pipelines, finding bad chunks, and tracking retrieval quality over time.

    Worth knowing

    Licensed under Elastic License 2.0 (source-available), not OSI open-source — despite its open GitHub repo.

    DeepEval

    Confident AI

    Pytest-style LLM evaluation framework. Open source.

    Open-source (Apache 2.0) framework for evaluating LLM apps the way Pytest tests code — assertions backed by 50+ ready metrics spanning LLM-as-judge, RAG, agents, conversation, and safety. Plugs into LangChain, CrewAI, OpenAI Agents and more. Confident AI is the paid cloud platform that adds test management, dashboards, and observability on top.

    Worth knowing

    Built by Confident AI (YC W25, founded 2024); its open-source framework runs ~2M evaluations a day.

    Giskard

    Giskard

    Open-source evaluation and red-teaming for LLM agents and RAG apps.

    Giskard is an open-source (Apache-2.0) Python library for testing LLMs, RAG pipelines, and ML models — its Scan automatically surfaces hallucinations, prompt injection, bias, and other vulnerabilities, while red-teaming agents run multi-turn adversarial attacks across dozens of probes. The paid Giskard Hub adds team collaboration, continuous testing, and scheduled scans. The team also publishes the open Phare LLM safety benchmark.

    Worth knowing

    Paris-based and YC-backed; joined a France 2030 R&D consortium with Mistral to build LLM-evaluation methods.
