LangGraph pros and cons

Explicit, debuggable control over agent state and flow
MIT-licensed core, free to self-host
Model-agnostic, not tied to one LLM vendor
Strong support for cycles, checkpointing, and human-in-the-loop
Steeper learning curve than high-level agent builders
Requires comfort with graph and state concepts
Paid platform and observability are separate products

Dify pros and cons

Genuinely open-source and self-hostable for strong data control
All-in-one: workflow, RAG, agents, and prompt IDE in one workspace
Low-code visual canvas lowers the barrier to building
Broad model and provider support, including self-hosted models
License is not fully permissive; multi-tenant resale and branding removal are prohibited
Real cost is dominated by separate LLM token spend, not the platform fee
Message-credit model on paid tiers can feel limiting at scale
