Where DeepEval stops

Why teams look beyond DeepEval

200+ scorers vs 50 — more comprehensive evaluation coverage
TypeScript, Python, Go and Java SDKs from one codebase — DeepEval is Python-first, with a TypeScript SDK only on the Confident AI side
300+ attack plugins vs 50+ DeepTeam vulnerability types — broader red-team coverage
Full SaaS dashboard included (Confident AI charges $200-$2,000/mo)
77 typed LLM providers vs 14 native (they reach more via LiteLLM)
50 compliance frameworks vs 3 documented (adds ISO 42001, India DPDP, HIPAA, GDPR + 46 more)
LLM Gateway with routing, caching and budgets — DeepEval has none; DeepTeam covers the guardrail role and deepeval ships OTel tracing
