## Choose when

### Choose evalml if…

- evalml is primarily Python; auto-evaluator is TypeScript.
- License: evalml is BSD-3-Clause, auto-evaluator is Other.
- Pricing: Access to features comes at no cost due to its open-source nature; however, premium support can be purchased..
- Requirements: Min 2 GB RAM.
- Tags unique to evalml: automl, data-science, feature-engineering, feature-selection.
- Also covers Model Training.
- You value an intuitive API for automating model training processes in Python contexts where feature engineering and selection are critical.

### Choose auto-evaluator if…

- auto-evaluator is primarily TypeScript; evalml is Python.
- License: auto-evaluator is Other, evalml is BSD-3-Clause.
- Tags unique to auto-evaluator: auto-evaluation, railway, typescript, vercel.
- Use auto-evaluator when you are working with TypeScript and need an integrated solution for evaluating AI models

## When NOT to use evalml

- You require deep customization of feature engineering processes that go beyond what EvalML automates out-of-the-box.
- Your team prefers tools that offer more advanced explainability features for model decisions and behavior analysis, as this is a focus area lacking specific mention in EvalML's capabilities.

## When NOT to use auto-evaluator

- Avoid using auto-evaluator if you require a multi-language support environment, as it focuses solely on TypeScript
- Do not use this tool if your project's hosting requirements do not align with using Vercel or Railway
