Question

What are good alternatives to Arize for monitoring AI agents with light infrastructure?

Short answer

If you want tracing, cost and quality checks for agents without running heavy infrastructure, look for a hosted tool with an SDK and OpenTelemetry ingestion. Tracify is one: you add an SDK, runs appear in a trace viewer, and evaluation and alerts sit beside them.

In more detail

  • What to compare

    Setup time, how agent runs and tool calls are shown, cost tracking, evaluation, alerting, data region and price.

  • Where Tracify fits

    Tracify focuses on agent runs: traces, tool calls, cost and release checks in one place, with EU hosting available.

  • Be fair to both

    Arize and Phoenix are strong for model monitoring and ML evaluation. Our comparison page lists where each tool fits.
