Failproof AI

End-to-end reliability for AI agents. Traces every run at the agent runtime, scores every finished session in the cloud with code checks, LLM judges and the eval set you already have (DeepEval, Ragas, promptfoo or your own), brought in as it is, finds where agents fail on its own, and lets you author and enforce a policy that stops the bad action in realtime - deployed on-prem or in the cloud.

Judgment Labs

Agent behavior monitoring and evals ("the continuous-improvement stack for agents"). Open-source judgeval SDK (Apache-2.0), Agent Judge and Code Judge scorers, behavior discovery, and alerts on sampled production traces. Hosted cloud; pricing by demo.

Choose Failproof AI when

  • you run high-impact autonomous agents that take real actions
  • a wrong action is costly or irreversible
  • you need to stop failures at runtime, not just trace them
  • you want an end-to-end reliability solution, on-prem or cloud

Choose Judgment Labs when

  • judges and behavior discovery are the whole job, and you never need to block an action
  • you want long-horizon Agent Judge scoring from a team focused on evaluation research
  • a hands-on, demo-led engagement suits how you buy

FAQ

Is Failproof AI a Judgment Labs alternative?

Yes, for teams that want judges and enforcement in one place. Both trace agent runs and score them; Failproof AI also enforces policies on agent actions in realtime, publishes its pricing, and self-hosts on the Enterprise tier today.

Does Judgment Labs block agent actions?

Not as of September 2026. Its Agent Behavior Monitoring scores completed traces server-side, on a sample, and its automations notify a team or trigger a follow-up action such as a webhook. Failproof AI adds the enforcement half: a policy at the hook layer denies or steers the action before it runs.

How much does Judgment Labs cost?

Judgment Labs does not publish pricing; its site routes you to a demo. Failproof AI lists its tiers: a free tier with 5,000 runs and 100 evals a month, Team at $99/month, Scale at $599/month, and a custom Enterprise tier.

Can I use both?

Yes. Keep judgeval scoring where you have it and add Failproof AI policies at the hook layer to stop the failures the judges keep flagging.
