Some privacy controls exist, but vendor-hosted infrastructure still handles a meaningful share of the data flow.
Flowise pros
- Visual builder — no code required.
- Largest ecosystem of integrations of any open-source agent builder.
- 51K+ GitHub stars, active community.
Moltworker pros
- Open source with transparent code and flexible deployment options.
- Security posture is strong for sensitive workflows.
Flowise cons
- Visual workflows hard to debug at scale.
- Less flexible than code-first frameworks.
- Self-hosting requires some DevOps knowledge.
Moltworker cons
- Setup leans technical and will slow down non-operators.
- Privacy controls are limited compared to self-hosted alternatives.
Flowise gotchas
- Complex flows can hit LLM rate limits silently.
- Docker deployment recommended over npm for stability.
Moltworker gotchas
- This is an add-on, not a full standalone assistant, so you will usually pair it with another agent.
- Recurring subscription or model spend can matter more than the headline feature list.
