Our take
Pick CustomGPT if support and association teams who will pay Standard $99 after the 7-day trial so they can keep 10 agents and 1,000 queries — there is no permanent Free row. Pick Dify if product and applied-AI teams who want a visual RAG/agent studio and may later self-host. Skip Dify if someone who only wants ChatGPT, or an engineer who prefers a code-first graph (LangChain) with no studio.
