## Choose when

### Choose nginx-ui if…

- nginx-ui is primarily Go; AgentGPT is TypeScript.
- License: nginx-ui is AGPL-3.0, AgentGPT is GPL-3.0.
- Tags unique to nginx-ui: code-completion, copilot, cron, docker.

### Choose AgentGPT if…

- AgentGPT is primarily TypeScript; nginx-ui is Go.
- License: AgentGPT is GPL-3.0, nginx-ui is AGPL-3.0.
- Tags unique to AgentGPT: agent, autonomous, backend-development, cli-setup.
- Also covers AI Agents.
- AgentGPT ships Docker support for self-hosted deployment.

## When NOT to use nginx-ui

- Developer Tools: A gateway is overkill when you're pinned to a single provider and model.

## When NOT to use AgentGPT

- Avoid using if your project requires a NoSQL database solution, given that AgentGPT is configured specifically with MySQL out-of-the-box
- Consider alternatives if your stack does not include FastAPI or Next.js, as the tool's default configurations might require significant adjustment
