What is Confident AI?

Confident AI is the cloud platform built by the team behind DeepEval, the open-source framework for running LLM tests locally or in CI. DeepEval handles the metrics and test runs, and Confident AI layers on collaboration, datasets, tracing, online evals, annotation queues, and alerting, with red teaming and governance on Enterprise.

Pricing is per organization rather than per seat, with trace storage metered in GB-months. The free plan allows two seats, one project, and five test runs a week. Starter costs $200 a month with unlimited seats and online evals, and Team at $2,000 a month adds SSO, custom RBAC, and Git-based prompts. On-prem deployment and HIPAA are Enterprise only.

Confident AI integrates with gateways such as LiteLLM, Portkey, and OpenRouter rather than routing traffic itself. If you want routing and evals on the same record, the LLM evaluation tools worth comparing include platforms that bundle a gateway.

Strengths and tradeoffs

What this tool does well, and the limitations to keep in mind.

Pros

Open-source DeepEval runs locally without the platform
Per-organization pricing with unlimited seats from Starter up
Tracing, evals, and annotation in one workspace
Red teaming and governance in the same platform on Enterprise

Using Confident AI with Respan

Teams can keep running DeepEval tests in CI and use Respan for production. Respan routes every call across 1,000+ models, traces each request, and runs automated evals on live traffic, so a quality regression shows up next to the trace and cost that caused it.

Route across 1,000+ models through one gateway
Score output on live production traffic with automated evals
Trace, cost, and eval score for each request on one record
Unlimited seats on the free plan
