The honest brief

Promptfoo

Define evals in plain YAML and run one goldset across models in CI — a prompt regression fails the build like any other test.

  • YAML-driven, version-controllable evals
  • Runs in CI, model-agnostic
  • Goldsets and rubric scoring
  • Also does red-teaming/security scans
  • CLI-first, less of a hosted UI
  • Teams may want managed dashboards
  • Config sprawl on large eval suites

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
