The honest brief

Agenta

Unifies prompt management, eval, and tracing in one self-hostable tool, keeping the whole loop on your own infra.

  • Self-hostable on your own infra
  • Prompt playground plus versioning
  • Human and LLM-as-judge evals
  • Built-in tracing/observability
  • Smaller ecosystem than incumbents
  • Self-hosting needs maintenance
  • Less mature than dedicated eval platforms

Braintrust

Eval-first: prompts are versioned objects and CI scorers block a merge when quality regresses.

  • Eval workflow as the primary interface
  • CI scorers block merges on regression
  • Dataset versioning + OTel tracing
  • Generous free tier
  • Closed-source SaaS
  • Self-hosting needs Enterprise contract
  • Overkill for tiny single-file eval needs
