In their own words
Galileo
Galileo is an observability, evaluation and guardrail platform for generative AI and agentic applications. It provides ready-made evaluations for RAG, agents, safety and security, as well as custom evaluators. Observability tools analyze agent behavior to surface patterns and failure modes, while Galileo Experiments let teams evaluate datasets and prompts systematically and compare results. Evaluation scores can guide agent actions, tool access and escalation paths. Developers can use Python and TypeScript SDKs or the API, with integrations including CrewAI, Google ADK, LangChain and LangGraph, OpenAI, Microsoft Agent Framework, Strands Agents and Vercel AI SDK. Deployment options include SaaS, virtual private cloud and on-premises. The Free plan includes 5,000 traces per month, unlimited users and unlimited custom evaluations. Pro costs $100 a month, billed yearly, and includes 50,000 traces per month; pricing scales with trace volume. SSO supports OIDC and SAML only on a customer's own Galileo cluster, not the free version or hosted app.galileo.ai service.
