NeuralTrust vs Helicone: Best for Enterprise AI Security?

The comparison evaluates NeuralTrust's TrustGate and Helicone as AI gateways for enterprise security and platform leaders, focusing on their roles in managing LLM and agent traffic. TrustGate, developed by a security company, emphasizes runtime security with its Security Engine, providing inline enforcement and multi-turn analysis. It is actively developed and supports MCP and A2A governance. Helicone, an open-source observability platform, is known for its ease of integration and robust analytics dashboard, but lacks a first-party detection engine and is in maintenance mode following its acquisition by Mintlify. Both products offer self-hostable solutions under Apache 2.0, but they serve different primary purposes: TrustGate is security-first, while Helicone excels in observability and cost control. The choice between them depends on whether the priority is security enforcement and ongoing development (TrustGate) or simplicity and observability (Helicone).
