## Choose when

### Choose dunetrace if…

- dunetrace is primarily Python; ai-reliability-copilot is TypeScript.
- Pricing: The repository does not specify any pricing information; it only mentions a license which is categorized as 'other'..
- Requirements: Requires Docker.
- Tags unique to dunetrace: agent-monitoring, agent-observability, ai-agents, real-time-monitoring.
- dunetrace ships Docker support for self-hosted deployment.
- When you need to monitor the performance of AI agents in real-time, as dunetrace offers insights specific to observability and reliability.

### Choose ai-reliability-copilot if…

- ai-reliability-copilot is primarily TypeScript; dunetrace is Python.
- Tags unique to ai-reliability-copilot: ai-sdk, deepseek, incident-response, llm-evaluation.
- Also covers LLM Frameworks.
- ai-reliability-copilot ships an MCP server manifest.
- When detailed LL-based incident response structuring is required

## When NOT to use dunetrace

- When focusing solely on non-code aspects like UI/UX without any need for backend AI agent observation.
- If you are looking for a platform that supports extensive integrations beyond Python and Node.js, as dunetrace's focus is limited to these environments.
- For organizations that prefer proprietary solutions over tools under other licenses.

## When NOT to use ai-reliability-copilot

- If real-time response customization beyond preset formats is needed
- In environments lacking the required backend databases like pgvector or Supabase
