The honest brief

Galileo

Turns offline evals into real-time production guardrails powered by its own cheap Luna eval models, not an LLM judge.

  • 20+ out-of-the-box evals for RAG and agents
  • Inline runtime guardrails, not just offline scoring
  • Own Luna models keep eval costs low
  • Model-agnostic across providers
  • Pricing tiers gate the production guardrails
  • Proprietary eval models, not open source
  • Heavier setup than a drop-in proxy

HoneyHive

OpenTelemetry-native loop that turns production failures into test cases, with strong human-evaluation tooling.

  • 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
