## Choose when

### Choose modelfox if…

- modelfox is primarily Rust; primehub is Shell.
- License: modelfox is Other, primehub is Apache-2.0.
- Pricing: Free to test, requires paid licenses for production deployment of certain components..
- Tags unique to modelfox: automl, elixir-lang, golang, javascript.
- If you are looking to integrate machine learning models across a variety of programming environments such as Rust or JavaScript without the complexity of language-specific frameworks

### Choose primehub if…

- primehub is primarily Shell; modelfox is Rust.
- License: primehub is Apache-2.0, modelfox is Other.
- Tags unique to primehub: data-science, distributed-systems, docker, jupyter.
- Utilize PrimeHub if your project requires integration of Kubernetes, as it supports orchestration within this framework.

## When NOT to use modelfox

- If you require open-source licensing for all components without exceptions since some parts like the crates/app directory need a paid license for production use
- For projects that specifically avoid Rust as their primary language or environment, as ModelFox primarily leverages Rust and its ecosystem

## When NOT to use primehub

- Avoid if your project strictly mandates proprietary MLOps solutions over open-source alternatives.
- Not appropriate for teams that do not operate within Docker environments, as significant customization might be required.
