DeepEval is a free, open-source framework for creating evaluation pipelines that test AI systems.
Alternatives to Promptfoo
Promptfoo brings prompt evaluation and red-team testing together for developers and enterprises building AI applications. It compares outputs across multiple models in a web view, and its red-team simulations look for prompt injections, jailbreaks, data leaks, business-rule violations, and unsafe agent tool use. Community is free, includes all model providers and integrations, and can run locally or self-hosted. The trade-offs include a monthly cap of 10,000 red-team probes…
