Arize AX vs SUPERWISE

Arize AX is a platform for improving AI agents by turning production behavior into investigations, evaluations, and experiments. Signal surfaces important issues, helps identify causes, and prepares fixes for review. Managed Agents can investigate failing traces, fix repository bugs, automate recurring checks, or be created from scratch. Swarm Observability tracks status and performance across an agent swarm in real time. Agent-as-a-Judge uses telemetry to produce scalable evaluations that can surface unknown failures, while end-to-end experiments help validate changes. Integrations include OpenAI, Anthropic, Google GenAI, Amazon Bedrock, LangChain, LangGraph, LlamaIndex, CrewAI, and Vercel AI SDK; tracing follows OpenInference conventions and OpenTelemetry. AX Free costs nothing and includes 10 Signal issues/month, 25k trace spans/month, 1 GB ingestion/month, and 15-day retention. AX Pro costs $50 a month, with 25 Signal issues/month, 50k trace spans/month, 10 GB ingestion/month, and 30-day retention. Enterprise pricing is custom. Self-hosted deployment keeps observability data, authentication, APIs, and UI within customer infrastructure; air-gapped deployment is available.

SUPERWISE AMP is an AI governance platform that sits between AI applications and models to observe interactions and apply policies. Its guardrails evaluate inputs and outputs, with policy evaluation advertised as taking under 10 ms. Agent Studio supports building, testing, and deploying agents, with governance and automated failure detection. The platform monitors operational health and drift and offers analytics, dashboards, audit trails, compliance reports, and metrics for model performance, data quality, and bias. SUPERWISE says it connects to 50+ providers, vector databases, and enterprise tools, including OpenAI, Anthropic, AWS Bedrock, LangChain, Pinecone, Snowflake, Salesforce, and Slack. It provides REST API and Python SDK access. AMP is managed SaaS by default, with connections to private, on-premises, and air-gapped environments. Sentinel inspects prompts locally and redacts secrets and personal data before they leave the machine; traffic does not pass through SUPERWISE. Plans start at $10/mo, with a 30-day trial and no free plan.
