Common questions
- Why pick an open-source agent?
- Three reasons people most often cite: no vendor lock-in, full code visibility (audit before you ship), and self-hosting (data stays in your VPC).
- Are these as good as proprietary alternatives?
- Some are, some aren't. Use the AgentScore plus the Compare page to evaluate against proprietary alternatives. The methodology page documents how the scores are computed.
