Ragas alternatives
Curated alternatives to Ragas — and why you'd switch.
deepeval
Pytest for LLM apps: 40+ research-backed metrics — G-Eval, RAG suite, agent task completion, hallucination — as unit tests you run in CI, judged by any LLM including local ones.
Why switchThe two default pip installs for LLM evaluation: Ragas is RAG-centric (faithfulness, relevance); DeepEval covers the same RAG suite plus agents, chatbots, safety metrics and pytest-style CI integration. Broader tool vs sharper tool.
Full comparison →giskard-oss
Giskard v3: modular Python evals and red-teaming for agentic systems — scenario-based checks with LLM-as-judge, plus an automatic vulnerability scanner across OWASP LLM Top-10 categories.
Why switchOverlapping LLM-evaluation job: ragas is the specialist for RAG pipeline metrics; Giskard v3 covers multi-turn agent scenarios with built-in checks and LLM-as-judge, with RAG evaluation still pending its v3 port.
Full comparison →agents-cli
CLI + agent-skills layer that turns your coding assistant into a Google Cloud agent-lifecycle expert: scaffold ADK projects, run and evaluate them, then deploy and publish to Gemini Enterprise.
Why switchagents-cli ships a full agent-eval suite — trace generation, metric grading, LLM-as-judge, failure-mode clustering, prompt optimization — which overlaps Ragas's job. Difference: Ragas is eval-only and framework-agnostic, while agents-cli's eval is one stage of a GCP-bound scaffold/deploy pipeline.
