The honest brief

DeepEval

Write LLM evals as Pytest-style assertions and run them in CI, backed by 50+ metrics across RAG, agents, and safety.

  • Assertions run in your CI pipeline
  • Metrics for RAG, agents, and safety
  • Bring any judge model (BYO key)
  • Integrates LangChain/CrewAI/OpenAI
  • LLM-as-judge adds cost
  • Dashboards need paid Confident AI
  • Judge metrics can be noisy

Ragas

Popularized reference-free RAG metrics — faithfulness, context precision — scored by an LLM judge, so you evaluate without gold answers.

  • Faithfulness & relevancy metrics
  • Knowledge-graph synthetic test sets
  • LLM-as-judge scoring
  • Integrates LangChain, LlamaIndex, CI
  • LLM-judge scores add cost/variance
  • Python library, no hosted UI
  • Focused on RAG, narrower scope
