What this does not tell you
Scores are percentiles of public GitHub signals. Nobody here tested these tools hands-on, so the higher score is not a verdict on which suits your project. Yellow marks the higher value.
Which one fits you
From measured data and licences, not from testing.
Pick AutoGPT if
- Recent activity and releases matter most to you (maintenance 55).
- You want the more widely adopted option (adoption 91).
Pick Dify if
- No measured signal where it leads all the others.

Why different labels?
A label partly reflects how much of each tool is visible and scannable, not only how risky it is. A tool without a lockfile cannot get a dependency check.
- AutoGPT: 16 critical-severity known vulnerabilities in runtime dependencies (OSV)
- Dify: 1 critical-severity known vulnerability in runtime dependencies (OSV)

Questions about AutoGPT vs Dify
Answers use this week's StackGrade data.
AutoGPT or Dify: which scores higher on StackGrade?
AutoGPT scores 6 points higher in Week 45: AutoGPT 62, Dify 56 out of 100. The score combines maintenance, adoption and docs (percentiles of public GitHub signals): AutoGPT 55, 91 and 29; Dify 45, 84 and 29. Community (20% weight) is not measured yet. It is not a hands-on test, so a higher score does not say which tool suits your project.
Is AutoGPT or Dify safer to use?
Safety labels from the automated scan of 2 Nov 2026: AutoGPT: Caution, 16 critical-severity known vulnerabilities in runtime dependencies (OSV); Dify: Caution, 1 critical-severity known vulnerability in runtime dependencies (OSV). It is an automated scan, not a manual audit.
Which is more widely used, AutoGPT or Dify?
By GitHub stars: AutoGPT 187,861, Dify 160,191. Adoption score (percentile among all 52 tracked tools): AutoGPT 91, Dify 84. Stars are one public signal and do not measure real-world use.
Which licences do AutoGPT and Dify use?
AutoGPT: MIT + Polyform Shield; Dify: Dify Open Source License (modified Apache-2.0). Read each licence text before commercial use.
Should I pick AutoGPT or Dify?
Pick AutoGPT if recent activity and releases matter most to you (maintenance 55); you want the more widely adopted option (adoption 91). Pick Dify if no measured signal puts it ahead of the others. This comes from measured public data and licences only, not from hands-on testing.
