Evaluation and observability

Identical capability tags — the difference is in execution, not scope.

Products, side by side

Hand-checked pairing

Braintrust

Platform

BraintrustPlatform

Stores production agent traces in its own datastore, turns the patterns it finds there into evaluation datasets, and scores every release against them.

Galileo

Platform

GalileoPlatform

AI evaluation and observability platform: automated evals, real-time guardrails, and production monitoring across the agent development lifecycle.

No counterpart

Galileo sells these in a stack layer with no product recorded for Braintrust yet — nothing on the other side to compare them against.

API service

Galileo SignalsAPI service

Real-time monitoring layer within the Galileo platform that computes evaluation metrics (hallucination, groundedness, tone) as signals on live production traffic, feeding alerts and dashboards.
