## Choose when

### Choose SandboxFusion if…

- SandboxFusion is primarily Python; AgentGPT is TypeScript.
- License: SandboxFusion is Apache-2.0, AgentGPT is GPL-3.0.
- Tags unique to SandboxFusion: code integration, docker, python.
- You prioritize speed and efficiency in setting up isolated test environments using Docker.

### Choose AgentGPT if…

- AgentGPT is primarily TypeScript; SandboxFusion is Python.
- License: AgentGPT is GPL-3.0, SandboxFusion is Apache-2.0.
- Tags unique to AgentGPT: agent, autonomous, backend-development, cli-setup.
- Also covers AI Agents.
- 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 SandboxFusion

- Need for detailed documentation or tutorials as SandboxFusion lacks this resource.
- Looking for more than basic integration and testing capabilities, as the tool may not cover advanced functionalities compared to competitors.

## 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
