# Promptfoo vs EvalGate: prompt tests or application regression gates?

Promptfoo is a strong choice for declarative prompt comparisons, multi-model evaluations and red teaming. EvalGate is worth testing when you need an end-to-end behavioral baseline and a reviewed CI gate covering application actions rather than only prompt outputs.

## Choose Promptfoo when
Configuration-driven prompt tests and specialized security red teaming.

## Choose EvalGate when
Multi-step application behavior and protected regression outcomes.

## Differentiation
- EvalGate: Versioned release baseline and integrated behavior checks.
- Promptfoo: Purpose-built prompt comparison and red-team tooling.

## Pricing
Promptfoo has open-source tooling and commercial options; consult its current documentation.

## Limitations
EvalGate cannot replace every specialized Promptfoo red-team test.

## Migration
Keep promptfoo tests and red-team scenarios; add a reviewed EvalGate application-action case, compare detection, then decide whether both are necessary.
