Choose eko if…
- eko is primarily TypeScript; moby is Go.
- License: eko is MIT, moby is Apache-2.0.
- Tags unique to eko: agents, agentic-framework, agentic-workflow, browser-automation.
- Also covers AI Agents.
When NOT to use eko
- Last GitHub push was 130 days ago (slowing maintenance, Mar 3, 2026). Validate activity before betting a new project on eko.
- AI Agents: Don't use an agent loop when a deterministic workflow would do; agents add latency, cost, and non-determinism.
- LLM Frameworks: Avoid a framework for a single prompt-and-retrieve call; the abstraction can cost more than it saves.
- Inference & Serving: Self-hosting rarely beats a hosted API on cost until you have steady, high-volume traffic.
Choose moby if…
- moby is primarily Go; eko is TypeScript.
- License: moby is Apache-2.0, eko is MIT.

When NOT to use moby
- LLM Frameworks: Avoid a framework for a single prompt-and-retrieve call; the abstraction can cost more than it saves.
- Developer Tools: A gateway is overkill when you're pinned to a single provider and model.
- Inference & Serving: Self-hosting rarely beats a hosted API on cost until you have steady, high-volume traffic.
