The honest brief

Dify

Bundles a workflow builder, RAG, and observability into one self-hostable platform spanning hundreds of models.

  • Drag-and-drop workflow builder
  • RAG + agents + observability in one
  • Prototype to production, little glue code
  • Provider-agnostic model management
  • License is source-available, not OSI
  • Visual builder limits complex logic
  • Self-host ops overhead
  • Cloud tiers needed for scale

Kortix

Treats agents like software — version-controlled, sandboxed, and shippable self-hosted or air-gapped with no vendor lock-in.

  • One-command self-host plus managed cloud
  • Agents commit via git branches and PRs
  • On-prem deployment for regulated infra
  • Bring your own model provider
  • Self-hosting requires infra and LLM keys
  • Enterprise agent-as-code model has a learning curve
  • Managed cloud is seat plus usage priced
