Best Lyzr Alternatives in 2026: 9 Ways to Build Multi-Agent Workflows

Checked October 26, 2026. Prices were read on each vendor's own pricing page; some vendors only quote through sales. Prices change: re-check before you buy. Dooza Crew is our product; we list it last and say where others fit better.

Lyzr alternatives: the short answer

If you write code, use CrewAI or LangGraph: both are free and MIT-licensed. For a visual builder you can host yourself, try n8n or Dify. For a no-code enterprise platform, look at Relevance AI or Microsoft Copilot Studio. For a team of agents you brief in plain words instead of building, try Dooza Crew.

Why people look for a Lyzr alternative

Lyzr is an enterprise agent platform. Its site says "Lyzr is built for enterprise security, governance, and compliance across identity, data, access, and infrastructure." That is the right fit for some buyers. Others look elsewhere because of:

• The jump to production: building and testing is free, but running agents in production is "$100K" "a year, to start", per Lyzr's pricing page.
• Cost and credits: one G2 reviewer wrote "The cost is too high, and the support agents are not available when needed." Another wrote that it "consumes a lot of credits".
• Deployment and debugging: a G2 reviewer wrote "Deployment should be improved because it failed many times."
• Docs for complex setups: another said "The platform’s documentation doesn’t provide clear, up-to-date guidance for more complex setups".

To be fair, Lyzr holds 4.4 out of 5 from 49 reviews on G2, and many reviewers praise how easy it is to start.

The alternatives, one by one

1. CrewAI: best open-source framework for multi-agent crews

CrewAI describes itself on GitHub as a "Framework for orchestrating role-playing, autonomous AI agents". The framework is MIT-licensed, and there is a hosted platform with a visual editor.

• Price: Basic is free with a visual editor, AI copilot, GitHub integration and 50 workflow executions a month; Enterprise is custom (CrewAI pricing, checked October 26, 2026).
• Watch for: There is no self-serve paid tier between free and Enterprise on the pricing page.

2. LangGraph: best for developers who want full control

LangGraph is LangChain's agent framework (GitHub, MIT license); LangChain describes it as a way to "Build agents with low-level control". You deploy and trace it with LangSmith.

• Price: LangSmith Developer is $0 for 1 seat and up to 5k base traces a month; Plus is $39 per seat a month with up to 10k base traces and one free small deployment; Enterprise is custom (LangChain pricing, checked October 26, 2026).
• Watch for: It is a code framework. You need developers to build and maintain it.

3. n8n: best visual builder you can self-host

n8n calls itself a "Fair-code workflow automation platform with native AI capabilities". Its pricing page says "A standard, self-hosted version of n8n is available on GitHub."

• Price: Starter 20 euros/mo (2,500 executions), Pro 50 euros/mo (10,000 executions), Business 667 euros/mo (40,000 executions, self-hosted), all billed yearly (n8n pricing, checked October 26, 2026).
• Watch for: It is licensed under the Sustainable Use License, not a standard open-source license, so check the terms for commercial use. See n8n alternatives.

4. Dify: best for agentic workflows and RAG apps

Dify's GitHub page says it helps you "Build Agentic workflows, RAG pipelines, with rich AI model and tool support on one collaborative workspace."

• Price: Sandbox is free with 200 message credits; Professional is $590 a year per workspace (5,000 message credits a month); Team is $1,590 a year (10,000 a month). The self-hosted Community edition is free (Dify pricing, checked October 26, 2026).
• Watch for: The Community edition is described as for "open-source enthusiasts, individual developers, and non-commercial projects", and the license is Apache 2.0 with extra conditions.

5. Relevance AI: no-code AI workforce for business teams

Relevance AI pitches its Enterprise plan "For companies looking to decouple growth from headcount via an AI Workforce." It lists 2,000+ integrations and calling and meeting agents.

• Price: Only an Enterprise plan is shown, with "Talk to sales"; no price is public (Relevance AI pricing, checked October 26, 2026).
• Watch for: No self-serve plan on the pricing page, so you cannot start small. See Relevance AI alternatives.

6. Microsoft Copilot Studio: best if you run on Microsoft

Microsoft says "Copilot Studio is a platform for creating and managing custom agents, workflows, and apps with no code." Its computer use tool "lets your agent interact with and automate tasks on a Windows computer".

• Price: Credit packs of 25,000 Copilot Credits at $200 per pack a month, or pay as you go with an Azure subscription (Microsoft, checked October 26, 2026).
• Watch for: Each computer use step costs 5 Copilot Credits, or 15 with a premium model, so long browser tasks add up.

7. Stack AI: for regulated enterprises

Stack AI's Enterprise plan lists on-prem and VPC deployment, SSO, and SOC 2, HIPAA and GDPR compliance (Stack AI pricing).

• Price: Free plan with 500 runs a month, 2 projects and 1 seat; Enterprise is custom (Stack AI pricing, checked October 26, 2026).
• Watch for: Like Lyzr, the paid tier is quote-only.

8. Gumloop: an agent builder anyone on the team can use

Gumloop calls itself "the multiplayer AI agent builder": anyone at a company can build agents with any model, while IT controls access. It can "Give every Gumloop agent a secure cloud browser".

• Price: Pro starts at $37/mo with 20k credits a month, unlimited agents and seats, and a 14-day free trial; Enterprise is custom (Gumloop pricing, checked October 26, 2026).
• Watch for: The pricing page lists an 8% "Orchestration Fee" on Pro.

9. Dooza Crew (our product): a team of agents without the building

You tell Dooza, your master agent, the job in plain words from the web or your phone; it plans it, builds the helper agents it needs (a researcher, a writer, an outreach agent) and reports back. Each agent has its own computer and browser in a private, isolated workspace; you watch every step live in chat.

• Price: Free for 7 days (card required), then $49/mo per organization (unlimited users and agents) with AI usage included and a hard spending cap. Cancel before day 8 and you pay nothing.
• Watch for: It is not a developer platform. If you need to design agent graphs in code, govern agents across a large company or deploy in your own cloud, Lyzr, CrewAI or LangGraph fit better.

Free Lyzr alternatives

• Open-source frameworks: CrewAI and LangGraph (both MIT). You pay for the AI model and hosting.
• Self-hosted visual builders: Dify's Community edition and the self-hosted version of n8n. Read each license first.
• Free hosted tiers: CrewAI Basic (50 executions a month), Dify Sandbox (200 message credits), Stack AI Free (500 runs a month) and LangSmith Developer.
• Lyzr itself: the Build plan stays free for building and testing.

How to test a Lyzr replacement in one afternoon

1. Pick one real workflow with at least two agents, for example a researcher that hands off to a writer.
2. Build it in two tools: one code framework and one visual builder. Time how long each takes.
3. Break it on purpose. Feed bad input and see how easy it is to find the error in the logs.
4. Price it at production volume. Count executions, credits or seats for a month of real use, not the demo.
