# payload vs AutoGPT

payload and AutoGPT share 4 technologies: Postgres, Redis, Stripe, and Sentry. payload is written in TypeScript and AutoGPT in Python.

- [payloadcms/payload](https://seerepo.com/r/payloadcms/payload): Payload is the open-source, fullstack Next.js framework, giving you instant backend superpowers. Get a full TypeScript backend and admin panel instantly. Use Payload as a headless CMS or for building powerful applications.
- [Significant-Gravitas/AutoGPT](https://seerepo.com/r/Significant-Gravitas/AutoGPT): AutoGPT is the vision of accessible AI for everyone, to use and to build on. Our mission is to provide the tools, so that you can focus on what matters.

## What they share and what sets them apart

- In common: Postgres, Redis, Stripe, Sentry
- Only in payload: MongoDB, Vercel, AWS S3, MCP
- Only in AutoGPT: Next.js, React, FastAPI, PostHog, OpenAI, Anthropic, Claude, Replicate, Todoist, Google, Google Maps, ElevenLabs

## Side by side

| | payload | AutoGPT |
|---|---|---|
| Size | 1,054,090 lines written, 4,857 code files | 1,630,074 lines written, 4,321 code files |
| Who writes it | 0.6% of its commits signed by AI. With GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, and Cursor | 15.7% of its commits signed by AI. With Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, CodeRabbit, Mistral Vibe, Factory, Codex, Devin, and Gemini CLI |
| Activity | Last push October 30, 2026, 14,760 commits, 45,594 stars | Last push October 29, 2026, 9,377 commits, 187,811 stars |
| Tests | 2,448 test files. 12.6% of its code files have a test that imports them | 2,794 test files. 51.8% 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.
