## The Hook

Promptfoo is declarative LLM evals and red-teaming when Braintrust is the hosted eval platform and you want YAML-in-CI first.

## What's Good

MIT. Compare prompts/models, score outputs, CI gates, red-team/OWASP-style scans. Runs locally — prompts stay on your machine. Works with OpenAI, Anthropic, Azure, Bedrock, Ollama, custom providers. Now part of OpenAI with stated MIT permanence.

## The Catch

Vs DeepEval/Braintrust: YAML/CLI-first, not pytest-native Python or Braintrust SaaS. LOUD: Community caps red-team probes (~10k/mo); Enterprise/On-Prem are contact-sales (SSO, dashboards, dedicated runner). LLM API costs are yours. Acquisition governance is a multi-year bet.

## Verdict

MIT eval/red-team CLI. Free core; probe cap + Enterprise sales wall.
