When NOT to use botpress
Constraint-first guidance from category fit and live maintenance signals - not marketing copy.
- You seek proprietary or closed-source development tools that offer custom enterprise features not available in open-source alternatives.
- If your project specifically requires languages other than TypeScript for bot development.
- When looking for a tool with more stringent version control, as once an integration is made public on Botpress Hub, it cannot be updated.
