Dify

FreemiumAPISelf-HostedAgentic

Summary

Dify is a visual platform for building LLM applications without code, combining workflows, retrieval-augmented generation, and agent capabilities.

Dify lets teams assemble AI applications by dragging components together rather than writing code—think Zapier for language models. It handles the full stack: connecting to multiple LLM providers, building multi-step workflows, indexing documents for retrieval, and observing model behavior in production. The freemium tier covers small projects; paid plans start around $25/month for additional workspace seats and higher API quotas. The catch: the self-hosted open-source version has a restrictive license that prohibits building competing services, and scaling to multiple isolated workspaces requires an Enterprise license.

Bottom line: *Use this when you need to ship AI workflows fast with minimal engineering; skip it if you require permissive open-source licensing or deep customization.*
