Graph-based stateful agent orchestration versus Prefect's Python framework for structured, workflow-native AI agents
Compare interactively in Explore →Choose LangGraph when…
- •You need stateful, graph-based agent control flow
- •Complex branching or retry logic is required
- •You're building production agents that need observability
Choose ControlFlow when…
- •already using Prefect for workflow orchestration
- •want deterministic structure around LLM calls
- •need agents integrated into data pipelines

LangGraph
Build stateful multi-actor applications as directed graphs. Part of the LangChain ecosystem. Strong for complex agentic workflows.
ControlFlow
ControlFlow is an open-source Python framework from the Prefect team that integrates AI agents directly into structured workflows. Tasks are first-class citizens, agents operate within well-defined boundaries, and the system provides full observability and control over AI behavior.
