Arthur vs ELI5

Arthur helps enterprises find AI agents across their environments and provides tools to observe and govern them. Discovery sensors monitor OpenTelemetry streams, MCP servers, network traffic, cloud APIs, and employee endpoints. The platform traces agent steps, tool calls, retrieved context, costs, latency, and behavior over time. Its governance features apply machine-checkable policies and provide real-time guardrail verdicts for prompt injection, PII exposure, restricted models, and off-policy tool use. Deployment options include hosted SaaS, on-premises, and hybrid; for hybrid setups, the evals engine runs beside customer workloads so sensitive data stays in the environment. Arthur lists RBAC, SSO, and deployed engineering support with every deployment option. Documented integrations include OpenAI, Anthropic, LangChain, LiteLLM, CrewAI, LlamaIndex, OpenAI Agents, Google ADK, AWS Bedrock, and Mastra. The Free plan is free, with up to four use cases, two projects, and seven-day data retention. Premium is $60 a month; Enterprise pricing is custom.
