Choose loonflow if…
- loonflow is primarily TypeScript; agentflow is Python.
- License: loonflow is AGPL-3.0, agentflow is MIT.
- Tags unique to loonflow: devops, django, mcp, ticket.
- Also covers Developer Tools.
- You need a fully open-source solution for your internal process automation, as Loonflow requires you to share modifications if used in a SaaS service publically.
When NOT to use loonflow
- You seek closed-source solutions for proprietary reasons as Loonflow's AGPLv3 requirement mandates openness in SaaS settings.
- When deployment flexibility is essential since the tool relies on Docker for installation, which may not align with all IT environments.
Choose agentflow if…

- License: agentflow is MIT, loonflow is AGPL-3.0.
- Tags unique to agentflow: json, large-language-models, workflow management.
- Also covers AI Agents, LLM Frameworks.
- When you need to rapidly prototype LLM workflows with minimal coding via JSON configs
When NOT to use agentflow
- Avoid if requiring advanced customization that goes beyond basic JSON configurations
- Not suitable for scenarios needing real-time dynamic changes in workflow setup during execution
