What the numbers say
In the last 91 days, Dify’s default branch received 2,477 commits and Langflow’s received 1,004. That is about 2.5 times as many for Dify, though projects that squash each pull request into one commit show fewer commits for the same work, so treat the gap as a rough signal. Against the same 91 days a year earlier, Dify is at +106% and Langflow at +144%. The index labels both “active”. Dify has 158,807 GitHub stars and Langflow has 155,803; stars show how many people bookmarked a project, not how many use it. Their licences differ: Dify uses a non-standard licence and Langflow uses MIT. GitHub does not recognise Dify’s licence as a standard one, so read it before commercial use.
What this comparison does not tell you
These are maintenance signals only. They do not measure speed, output quality, features, documentation or how easy either tool is to run, and we have not benchmarked either tool for this page. A quiet repository can still be a good fit for a stable job, and a busy one can still break between releases. Use the numbers to decide what to check next, not which tool is better.

How this is measured: commits on each repository’s default branch counted through the GitHub API, the last 91 days against the same 91 days a year earlier; stars, licence and archived flag from the repository; README checked daily for maintenance notices. Visitor ratings come from visitors to each tool’s page, not from EvalAITools.
