Platform (any LLM)

Best for

Giskard

Pick Giskard if you are shipping a customer-facing LLM agent into a regulated industry and need a defensible pre-launch security and quality sign-off.

Patronus

Pick Patronus for regulated industries that need defensible automated evals for compliance.

Not for

Giskard

Skip it if you are a solo dev prototyping with a small model and just want quick eval scripts rather than an enterprise red-teaming program.

Patronus

Skip it for hobbyist or solo developer work — the enterprise pricing is the wrong shape.
