The Verdict
Dify is built for ai builders and non technical teams, with a focus on visual-orchestration and rag-pipeline. Huly targets startups and open source teams and leads with issue-tracking and team-planner.
On pricing, Huly is the clear winner for budget-conscious users — starting at $15/mo compared to $59/mo for Dify. That $44/mo difference adds up quickly for growing teams.
Both offer free plans, so you can test each with your real workflow before committing to a subscription.
Dify edges out on user ratings (4.5 vs 4.1). While both are well-regarded, that gap reflects real differences in user satisfaction worth considering.
Bottom line: Dify has a slight overall edge — but if open-source with self-hosting option matters most to you, Huly may still be the right call.
