## Choose when

### Choose Open-Prompt-Injection if…

- Tags unique to Open-Prompt-Injection: security-and-privacy.
- You prioritize security testing specifically for prompt injection vulnerabilities in your LLM applications.
- More GitHub stars (503 vs 0) - visibility, not fit.

### Choose embedguard if…

- Requirements: Installation requires Python and pip.; Development mode installation is supported..
- Tags unique to embedguard: ai-safety, embedding-attacks, provenance, rag.
- Also covers Vector Databases.
- embedguard ships Docker support for self-hosted deployment.
- When you need to ensure the integrity of embeddings in RAG systems against adversarial attacks.

## When NOT to use Open-Prompt-Injection

- You require broader, more generalized security features not centered on prompt injection attacks.
- Your project does not involve working with Google PaLM2 or other specific models like Meta's Llama and OpenAI's GPT.

## When NOT to use embedguard

- If your focus is on general-purpose AI model evaluation without a specific need for adversarial embedding attack detection.
- When your application does not involve RAG systems or you are not concerned with embedding security and provenance.
