## Choose when

### Choose 9router if…

- 9router is primarily JavaScript; oh-my-agent is TypeScript.
- Tags unique to 9router: ai-agents, ai-gateway, anthropic, chatgpt.
- Also covers Developer Tools.
- 9router ships Docker support for self-hosted deployment.
- When you need to maximize the use of your paid AI coding subscriptions by integrating with free fallback options.

### Choose oh-my-agent if…

- oh-my-agent is primarily TypeScript; 9router is JavaScript.
- Tags unique to oh-my-agent: agent-harness, agentic-coding, cursor, multi-agent-systems.
- When you need a vendor-agnostic solution for deploying project-specific AI agents

## When NOT to use 9router

- If you require a single, high-performance AI coding tool without the complexity of managing fallbacks and multiple providers.
- When you need a solution that does not involve setting up a local gateway and configuring endpoints for different AI models.
- If you are working in an environment where the use of free or fallback AI models is not acceptable due to security or compliance reasons.
- When you are looking for a tool that does not require manual configuration of API keys and endpoints for each AI model you wish to use.

## When NOT to use oh-my-agent

- If you prefer frameworks that are tightly coupled to specific vendors or technologies
- In scenarios where the codebase does not benefit from additional abstractions provided by a harness for multi-agent systems
