LangGraph vs. CrewAI
Graph-based vs. role-based multi-agent orchestration. When to pick which.
LangGraphCrewAI
TL;DR. LangGraph wins when you need explicit state machines and audit trails. CrewAI wins when you want a fast on-ramp for a small team.
LangGraph strengths. Mature checkpointing, deterministic replay, large community.
CrewAI strengths. Excellent docs, declarative crew definitions, fast time-to-first-agent.
Pick LangGraph when state durability matters more than ergonomics.
Pick CrewAI when you are prototyping with a small team and may rewrite later.
