Our take
Pick LlamaIndex if builders wiring RAG or document extraction who will use the MIT library and/or LlamaParse credits. Pick Reducto if document teams who will burn the $150 Standard credit then pay list rates, or move to Growth for volume and ZDR. Skip LlamaIndex if people who only want a visual agent canvas (Langflow) or traces (Langfuse).
