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
