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

Vellum pros and cons

Combines prompt, workflow, evaluation, and deployment in one platform
Visual workflow builder lowers the barrier for cross-functional collaborators
Solid evaluation and testing tooling for pre-production quality gates
Multi-provider model support avoids lock-in
Pricing is opaque and sales-led, making budgeting hard
Not open source, and self-hosting is locked to Enterprise
Free tier is quite limited in credits, documents, and seats
