New Relic vs Statsig

New Relic and Statsig score alike on the AgentReady. They differ on 2 of the 41 signals. Which ones decides whether an agent can adopt them without a person watching.

What each one is

New Relic. Intelligent Observability platform that resolves issues at scale before they impact bottom line

Statsig. Statsig is a unified platform for feature flags, A/B testing, and product analytics that helps teams ship, measure, and learn.

Where New Relic is ahead

New Relic passes cli available, and Statsig does not. That is adopt, whether an agent can get a key and make its first successful call without a human in the loop.

Where Statsig is ahead

Statsig passes llms-full.txt / full agent docs, and New Relic does not. That is discover, whether an agent can find the product at all without being told it exists.

What neither does

Both fail mcp discoverable, structured api reference, openapi / spec quality, authentication documented, request examples provided, response examples provided, errors and status codes documented, limits / constraints documented, no mandatory sales call, programmatic credential creation, mcp integration available, structured, predictable output, machine-readable errors, retry behavior documented, idempotency support, rate-limit behavior predictable, agent compatibility verified. If your agent needs any of those, you will be building it yourself either way.

Score, pillar by pillar

The AgentReady splits into four pillars, scored separately, because a product can be easy to find and still impossible to adopt.

Discover is whether an agent can find the product at all without being told it exists. Statsig leads 87 to 80. New Relic misses llms-full.txt / full agent docs, mcp discoverable; Statsig misses mcp discoverable.

Understand. Both sit at 23/100 here. New Relic misses structured api reference, openapi / spec quality, authentication documented, request examples provided, response examples provided, errors and status codes documented, limits / constraints documented; Statsig misses structured api reference, openapi / spec quality, authentication documented, request examples provided, response examples provided, errors and status codes documented, limits / constraints documented.

Adopt. New Relic leads 65 to 60. New Relic misses no mandatory sales call, programmatic credential creation, mcp integration available; Statsig misses no mandatory sales call, programmatic credential creation, cli available, mcp integration available.

Operate. Both sit at 35/100 here. New Relic misses structured, predictable output, machine-readable errors, retry behavior documented, idempotency support, rate-limit behavior predictable, agent compatibility verified; Statsig misses structured, predictable output, machine-readable errors, retry behavior documented, idempotency support, rate-limit behavior predictable, agent compatibility verified.
