Choose giskard-oss if…
- License: giskard-oss is Apache-2.0, simple-evals is MIT.
- Requirements: Requires Python 3.12 or higher..
- Tags unique to giskard-oss: llm-eval, agent-evaluation, llm, fairness-ai.
- Also covers AI Agents, Vector Databases.
- - You need an open-source solution specifically designed for testing LLMs with built-in checks and vulnerability scans.
When NOT to use giskard-oss
- - If you prefer a tool without any potential telemetry data collection, even though Giskard allows opting out, as it could be seen as potentially intrusive despite safeguards.
- - You are working with environments that only support Python versions below 3.12, since Giskard-OSS requires at least Python 3.12.
Choose simple-evals if…
- License: simple-evals is MIT, giskard-oss is Apache-2.0.
- Tags unique to simple-evals: python.
- Also covers Evaluation & Observability.
When NOT to use simple-evals
- LLM Frameworks: Avoid a framework for a single prompt-and-retrieve call; the abstraction can cost more than it saves.
- Evaluation & Observability: Defer heavyweight eval infra only until you have real traffic - never skip it once users depend on answers.
