Comparison
openagent vs statewave
Verdict
Pick openagent if openAgent integrates OpenAI and Dify, focusing on deep reasoning loops, visual workflows, RAG, and agent delegation in Python under MIT license; pick statewave if statewave is an open-source memory runtime for AI agents, offering reproducible and provenance-tagged context bundles using Postgres and pgvector for self-hosted memory management, with Python and TypeScript SDKs.

Choose openagent if…
- License: openagent is MIT, statewave is Apache-2.0.
- Tags unique to openagent: agent, ai, celery, deepagents.
- Also covers Data & Retrieval.
- Need integration of OpenAI and Dify functionalities.
When NOT to use openagent
- Projects requiring only basic AI functionality without deep reasoning loops or RAG.
- Teams preferring non-Python environments for AI agent development.
Choose statewave if…
- License: statewave is Apache-2.0, openagent is MIT.
- Pricing: Statewave is free and open-source under the Apache-2.0 license, but enterprise support with SLA, indemnity, and procurement services is available for a fee..
- Requirements: Min 4 GB RAM; Statewave requires a self-hosted Postgres and pgvector setup for memory management..
- Tags unique to statewave: agent-memory, ai-agents, llm, memory.
- statewave ships Docker support for self-hosted deployment.
- When you need reproducible and provenance-tagged context bundles for your AI agents, as Statewave ensures that the context is not only reproducible but also tagged with provenance information.
When NOT to use statewave
- If your project requires a cloud-hosted memory management solution, Statewave's self-hosted nature on Postgres and pgvector might not be suitable.
- If you are looking for a tool that supports more languages than Python and TypeScript, Statewave might not meet your needs as it only provides SDKs for these two languages.
