**Pros** Sim's core uses the [Apache 2.0 license](https://github.com/simstudioai/sim/blob/main/LICENSE), with [enterprise features covered by the separate Sim Enterprise License](https://github.com/simstudioai/sim/blob/main/apps/sim/ee/LICENSE). You can [deploy a workflow](https://docs.sim.ai/workflows/deployment) as an API, a chat interface, or an MCP tool that lets other AI applications call it. Those options let you use the same workflow in an application, a user-facing conversation, or another agent without rebuilding its logic. Sim's pricing page lists [hundreds of integrations and major model providers](https://www.sim.ai/pricing).

**Best overall: Sim.** If you want a visual builder you can self-host under an OSI-approved core license, choose Sim. [Sim's Apache 2.0 core](https://github.com/simstudioai/sim/blob/main/LICENSE) runs on your infrastructure for free, while [production use of enterprise features such as SSO and audit logs requires an Enterprise subscription](https://github.com/simstudioai/sim/blob/main/apps/sim/ee/LICENSE). Check which features you need before deciding which plan fits.

If your main need is connecting business apps, choose n8n for workflow automation. Review its license before using it to offer workflows to customers. Choose LangGraph if you want to write and operate orchestration code yourself, while accounting for the [LangSmith license key](https://docs.langchain.com/langsmith/deploy-standalone-server) its standalone Agent Server requires.
