## Choose when

### Choose agent-orchestrator if…

- agent-orchestrator is primarily Go; AgentGPT is TypeScript.
- License: agent-orchestrator is Apache-2.0, AgentGPT is GPL-3.0.
- Tags unique to agent-orchestrator: agent-fleet, agent-swarm, claude-code, codex-cli.
- You are working on large-scale projects with multiple parallel tasks that require efficient CI fixes, merge conflict resolution and code reviews.

### Choose AgentGPT if…

- AgentGPT is primarily TypeScript; agent-orchestrator is Go.
- License: AgentGPT is GPL-3.0, agent-orchestrator is Apache-2.0.
- Tags unique to AgentGPT: agent, autonomous, backend-development, cli-setup.
- AgentGPT ships Docker support for self-hosted deployment.
- When you want to leverage pre-configured setups for database integration (specifically MySQL) handled by AgentGPT's CLI

## When NOT to use agent-orchestrator

- If your work primarily consists of simple or small projects with light tasks, the overhead of setting up Agent Orchestrator may outweigh its benefits.
- If you prefer traditional workflow tools without reliance on autonomous agent technology for day-to-day operations.

## 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
