Some teams do run both during a migration, but the data models overlap enough that maintaining two sets of instrumentation is rarely worth it long-term.

Which has better evaluation tooling?

Braintrust has a more mature eval-authoring UI. Cloudmind's advantage is that evals run against datasets promoted directly from production traces, which shortens the loop from bug report to regression test.
