# openwork vs dify

openwork and dify share 21 technologies: Vite, React, Sentry, Next.js, Redis, Hono, MySQL, Resend, Tailwind CSS, class-variance-authority, motion, lexical, @tanstack/react-virtual, @heroicons/react, dompurify, katex, Zod, Ajv, yaml, sharp, and @hono/node-server. openwork is written in TypeScript and dify in Python.

- [different-ai/openwork](https://seerepo.com/r/different-ai/openwork): The open-source alternative to Claude Cowork (powered by opencode)
- [langgenius/dify](https://seerepo.com/r/langgenius/dify): Build Agentic workflows, RAG pipelines, with rich AI model and tool support on one collaborative workspace. Deploy on cloud, VPC, or self-hosted, so teams move from prototype to production without rebuilding the stack.

| Activity | Last push November 4, 2026, 6,571 commits, 24,396 stars | Last push November 4, 2026, 14,820 commits, 160,382 stars |
| Tests | 822 test files. 27.7% of its code files have a test that imports them | 4,748 test files. 67.4% of its code files have a test that imports them |

- Size: Lines written by people and agents, without generated ones; code files, without tests.
- Who writes it: A commit counts as AI's when it carries its signature: a Co-Authored-By line, its author name or the merge of its branch.
- Activity: From GitHub and its history, on the day SeeRepo read it.
- Tests: The files that test the code, and the share of code files a test imports.
