Real agents need more than single-turn evals.

Multi-turn, multi-tool, open source. Yours to extend.

Humanloop scores single input/output pairs through a closed platform. LangWatch is OpenTelemetry-native, simulates full multi-turn agent flows, and gives you the source code under Apache 2.0.

Join thousands of AI developers shipping reliable agents with LangWatch.

The Humanloop alternative.

How LangWatch compares to Humanloop.

Five things teams care about when picking a quality layer for agents. Each row shows what Humanloop ships today and what LangWatch gives you on day one.

01
Multi-turn testing
Agent simulation suite

Simulate multi-turn, multi-modal conversations with tool use, persistent state, and a configurable virtual user.

Single-turn evaluation

Traditional eval platform focused on single input/output pairs. Multi-step agent flows are not the core model.

02
Source code & deploy
Open source platform

Transparent codebase. Self-host with Docker or Helm. Customize anything. Audit every component.

Proprietary SaaS

Closed-source platform with restricted customization and dependency on vendor-controlled infrastructure.

03
Observability
Native OpenTelemetry

Standardized tracing, metrics, and logging across every supported framework, no extra configuration.

Custom instrumentation

Proprietary SDK integration required, limiting interoperability with existing observability tooling.

04
Evaluator model
Code + UI evaluators

Python and TypeScript APIs for complex logic. UI for domain experts. Both edit the same source of truth.

GUI-led workflows

Platform-centric workflows designed primarily for manual testing and GUI-based configuration.

05
Red teaming, governance, and gateway
Red teaming, governance, and a gateway

Adversarial safety and security testing, an AI gateway for every model and key, and a governance layer with control over every agent in your org, plus quality-aware alerts on eval-score drops.

Prompt-CMS focused

Humanloop centers on prompt management and evals. No built-in agent red teaming, AI gateway, or org-wide agent governance.

Three reasons agent teams choose LangWatch.

Test the whole agent, not the prompt

Multi-turn simulations exercise tools, state, and reasoning. The kinds of failures that pop in production show up here first.

No vendor lock-in

Self-hosted Apache 2.0 deployment removes platform discontinuation risk. Acquisition-proof, by design.

Deep agent tracing and debugging

AI-powered Ask finds errors and anomalies for you, across flame charts, span lists, topology and graph views, waterfall traces with a full audit trail, and your own saved lenses.

Single-turn evals shipped a polite agent that broke on call three. Multi-turn simulations caught it in seven minutes.
