## Choose when

### Choose agentdojo if…

- License: agentdojo is MIT, RagaAI-Catalyst 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: prompt-injection, benchmark, large-language-models, security.
- AgentDojo serves as a benchmarking environment to evaluate security attacks, like prompt injection, and defenses for Large Language Model (LLM) agents.

### Choose RagaAI-Catalyst if…

- License: RagaAI-Catalyst is Apache-2.0, agentdojo is MIT.
- Tags unique to RagaAI-Catalyst: ai-performance-optimization, ai-application-debugging, ai-agent-monitoring, agents.
- When you need comprehensive tools for the observability of complex multi-agentic systems.

## 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 RagaAI-Catalyst

- When you prefer a language-agnostic solution or require support outside of the Python ecosystem.
- If your primary need is focused solely on basic monitoring without advanced debugging and evaluation features.
- For projects that do not utilize multi-agentic systems or do not benefit from timeline and execution graph visualizations.
- In scenarios where a fully managed service with no self-hosting requirements is preferred.
