failproof vs langsmith

the langsmith alternative for teams that want agent-runtime reliability across any stack - not tracing and evals tied to LangChain.

Failproof AI

End-to-end reliability for AI agents. Traces every run at the agent runtime, 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.

LangSmith

Tracing and evals for LangChain and LangGraph. Deeply integrated with that stack - datasets, prompt hub, annotation. Best inside the LangChain ecosystem.

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 LangSmith when

  • you are all-in on LangChain / LangGraph
  • you want a prompt hub and dataset-based evals
  • you need chain- and graph-aware tracing

FAQ

Does LangSmith enforce policies?

It traces and evaluates; enforcing an action at runtime is not its job (LangGraph recursion limits are in-framework config, not a policy across agents). Failproof AI authors and enforces policy at the runtime, framework-agnostic.

Does Failproof AI work without LangChain?

Yes - it is framework-agnostic and hooks into any agent runtime, LangChain or not.

Can I use both?

Yes - trace LangChain apps in LangSmith, enforce every agent with Failproof AI.
