Pros
  • Open-source core with a large, active community
  • Model-agnostic: works with OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, or local LLMs
  • Hosted stealth browsers and proxies handle anti-bot defenses
  • Structured DOM representation keeps token costs reasonable
  • Backed by serious funding and Fortune 500 adoption
  • Reliable, debuggable agent graphs
  • Built-in persistence + HITL
  • Production-grade
  • Tight LangSmith integration
Cons
  • Cloud pricing scales fast for high-volume agent runs
  • Agents still drift or loop on complex multi-step flows
  • Stealth/proxy use lives in a legal grey area for many sites
  • Steeper learning curve than CrewAI
  • Verbose to set up
