## Choose when

### Choose fiddler-auditor if…

- fiddler-auditor is primarily Python; autoarena is TypeScript.
- License: fiddler-auditor is Other, autoarena is Apache-2.0.
- Pricing: The pricing information for Fiddler Auditor is not specified in the repository data provided..
- Tags unique to fiddler-auditor: ai-observability, generative-ai, langchain, llms.
- When you need to perform red-teaming exercises on your LLM using prompt perturbation specific to your use-case

### Choose autoarena if…

- autoarena is primarily TypeScript; fiddler-auditor is Python.
- License: autoarena is Apache-2.0, fiddler-auditor is Other.
- Requirements: Python environment and internet access are needed for PyPI installation via pip..
- Tags unique to autoarena: ai, llm-evaluation, rag, testing.
- When you need a TypeScript-based tool to rank LLMs and RAG systems via automated head-to-head comparisons, and a web UI is preferable.

## When NOT to use fiddler-auditor

- When standard evaluation methods suffice and you do not need advanced red-team testing tailored to your specific use-case
- If the project does not require or benefit from custom evaluation metrics that address niche concerns beyond general model performance
- In scenarios where models are already evaluated using other comprehensive frameworks, making additional evaluations redundant

## When NOT to use autoarena

- If your environment lacks the necessary Python packages or you cannot install from PyPI due to restrictions.
- When real-time evaluation needs surpass capabilities, such as requiring immediate feedback beyond autoarena's batch-processing approach.
