A platform that unifies monitoring and testing for LLM apps and agents into one improvement loop: distributed tracing, online evaluations and alerts, offline experiments, annotation queues for expert feedback, and CI/CD-integrated regression testing. Built OpenTelemetry-native with support for 100+ models and agent frameworks. The free Developer tier covers small teams; Enterprise adds scale, self-host, and compliance.

Capabilities 3

What it actually does — grouped by capability family.

  • LLM observability (primary capability)
  • LLM evaluation (secondary capability)
  • Prompt management (secondary capability)

Pros & cons

  • Unifies tracing and evaluation
  • OTel-native, framework-agnostic
  • Failures auto-become test cases
  • Robust human eval + annotation
  • Generous free Developer tier
  • SaaS-only (self-host = Enterprise)
  • No built-in caching
  • Newer, smaller ecosystem
  • UI less mature than incumbents

    Braintrust

    Hosted eval + tracing platform for LLM apps.

    Production-grade eval orchestration with a dashboard, dataset versioning, and OpenTelemetry tracing. Useful once eval volume outgrows a CI YAML file.

    LangChain

    LangChain's hosted observability + eval platform.

    Tracing, dataset management, eval orchestration, and prompt playground from the LangChain team. Pairs naturally if LangChain or LangGraph already runs in your stack, but works standalone via SDKs.

    Vellum

    Build, evaluate, and deploy production LLM apps and agents.

    An end-to-end development platform for building, testing, and shipping LLM applications and agents. Vellum pairs a visual drag-and-drop workflow builder with a Python SDK, and bundles prompt versioning, RAG, evaluation, and production monitoring in one place so technical and non-technical teammates can collaborate. Built-in eval and test suites let teams measure quality before and after deploy. A free tier is available; paid Pro and Enterprise plans add seats and scale.
