Lamatic
Visual builder and hosting for AI agents and GenAI features
Free plan · from $99/mo
Which one is for you
Pick Lamatic if
- Fits if you add AI features to a product and want hosting handled for you
- Works for small teams that want a visual flow builder rather than code
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you stay free: 3,000 requests, 5 flows and 3 days of logs
- Pricey if you need more than 3 people on Pro, as unlimited members need Team at $149
- Skip it if you need SSO, SAML or on-prem, which are Enterprise only
- Watch out: extra usage is $10 per 10K requests and $60 per 10K records, and a custom domain is $20 a month
Pick Langflow if
- Fits if you're a developer sketching out agent or RAG apps on a canvas
- Works for turning a flow into an API endpoint or an MCP tool for another app
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you want to sign up and build in the cloud, as the docs cover only installs you run yourself
- Not for you if you expect email support, because help comes through GitHub and the community unless you pay IBM
- Tight if you're on an Intel Mac, where the components that depend on PyTorch are limited or unavailable
- Watch out: Langflow Desktop needs macOS 13 or Windows and lacks the Shareable Playground and Voice Mode
- Too light for scheduled runs, triggers or team use, as none are on record
How we grade them
| 1.8GPALamaticWeak | 2.8GPALangflowGood | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | DPro is $99 a month, about four times the category's $25 middle, and caps team members at 3. Team is $149. | AIt costs nothing: the whole application is MIT licensed, and the only thing on sale is optional IBM support at a custom price, which buys support and not software. Model access and the machine it runs on are yours to pay for. |
| Free plan and trial | CStarter is free with 3,000 requests a month, 5 flows and 1,000 records. You will reach that quickly. | AThe full application is free whichever way you run it, Langflow Desktop, the Docker image or the Python package, with nothing held back for a paid tier. You supply the computer and the model keys. |
| Features | CFlow builder, hosting, a vector database, API and logs. SSO, SAML and on-prem are Enterprise, and no integrations are listed. | CIt covers the building job: components dragged onto a canvas, a playground to test in, agents that call whole flows as tools, flows published through an API or as MCP tools, and Python you can edit. That's a smaller job than the category's: nothing on record about schedules, triggers or team use. |
| Ease of use | CNo rating on record. A visual builder means building the flows yourself, and you wire up integrations. | DYou host it yourself: the docs cover only installs you look after, Langflow Desktop, Docker, the Python package or Kubernetes, and you bring your own model keys. Desktop is the shortest route for one person on a Mac or Windows PC, and no rating is on record. |
| Platforms and integrations | CWeb platform with an API and SDK, and no integrations named. No desktop or phone app. | BA desktop app for Mac and Windows, Docker or Python anywhere else, and you work in a browser. It connects to OpenAI, Anthropic, Ollama, Pinecone, Notion and Slack, with an API and MCP in both directions. No phone app is listed. |

Key features
Lamatic
- Visual flow builder
- A no-code and low-code builder for agent flows, with flow testing, debugging and a prompt, code and GraphQL IDE.

- Tracing and logs
- Real-time tracing and performance dashboards show how each agent run performed; log history runs from 3 days to unlimited by plan.
Langflow
- Visual flow editor
- A flow is built by dragging component nodes onto a canvas and connecting them. Each component is one step, with parameters you fix or override at run time.
- Playground
- Test a flow and see its logic and responses in real time without building the rest of the application, or run a single component on its own.
- Agents and tools
- Agent components can call other components and whole flows as tools, running as a single agent or as several working together.
- MCP server and client
- Flows can be exposed as tools through Langflow's MCP server, and Langflow can connect to external MCP servers as a client.
- API and deployment
- Flows run from your own code through the Langflow API or are exported as JSON. The docs cover Docker, Kubernetes, remote servers and cloud providers.
- Custom Python components
- Components are written in Python, so you can edit the ones provided, write your own or install components shared by other users.

More comparisons
How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
