# agentdojo vs langwatch

*GraphCanon updated Aug 8, 2026*

## Verdict

Pick agentdojo if agentDojo serves as a benchmarking environment to evaluate security attacks, like prompt injection, and defenses for Large Language Model (LLM) agents; pick langwatch if langWatch is a comprehensive tool for evaluating large language models (LLM) and testing AI agents. It supports self-hosting with flexible deployment options including Docker, Kubernetes, and cloud-specific setups.

[agentdojo](https://agentdojo.spylab.ai/) reports 716 GitHub stars, 188 forks, and 41 open issues, last pushed Jun 2, 2026. [langwatch](https://langwatch.ai) has 3.5k stars, 340 forks, and 777 open issues, last pushed Aug 7, 2026. Figures are from public GitHub metadata via [agentdojo's repository](https://github.com/ethz-spylab/agentdojo) and [langwatch's repository](https://github.com/langwatch/langwatch).

## Choose when

### Choose agentdojo if…

- agentdojo is primarily Python; langwatch is TypeScript.
- License: agentdojo is MIT, langwatch is Apache-2.0.
- Pricing: Open-source under the MIT License. Some advanced features might require additional libraries or APIs..
- Requirements: Min 8 GB RAM.
- Tags unique to agentdojo: benchmark, large language models, prompt-injection, security.
- AgentDojo serves as a benchmarking environment to evaluate security attacks, like prompt injection, and defenses for Large Language Model (LLM) agents.

### Choose langwatch if…

- langwatch is primarily TypeScript; agentdojo is Python.
- License: langwatch is Apache-2.0, agentdojo is MIT.
- Pricing: Open-source editions are free with restrictions on certain advanced features that require a commercial license..
- Tags unique to langwatch: ai, analytics, datasets, evaluation.
- You need to evaluate LLMs and test AI agents in a controlled environment.

## When NOT to use agentdojo

- AI Agents: Don't use an agent loop when a deterministic workflow would do; agents add latency, cost, and non-determinism.
- Evaluation & Observability: Defer heavyweight eval infra only until you have real traffic - never skip it once users depend on answers.

## When NOT to use langwatch

- If you are looking for an out-of-the-box service without the complexity of setting up your own infrastructure, since LangWatch heavily leans towards self-hosting.
- You do not require advanced enterprise features like SCIM, audit logs, license management, as these features require a commercial license.
