Choose another approach if

- Assuming self-hosting means no external processing

Pricing or terms sourceCode, model and service licensing
The Apache-derived source license requires written permission for multi-workspace tenancy and restricts frontend logo/copyright removal; model/plugin rights are separate. Cloud terms retain customer content rights with a service-processing license and anonymized statistics. Privacy says Dify does not train on AI interactions: BYOK follows your provider contract, while managed providers are contractually barred from training. Processing, necessary/legal/backup retention and cross-border transfers still occur; self-hosted license/update signals and websites have separate scope. No universal zero-retention or output-clearance guarantee.
Basis and limits of the recorded score
Original 4.6/5 retained; the original scoring worksheet and hands-on evidence are unavailable. This documentation review did not re-score the product.
Overview
Dify combines a workflow canvas, RAG pipelines, model configuration and agent tools, with application APIs and logs. Community, Enterprise and managed Cloud require different operating and commercial decisions.
The repository uses an Apache-derived license with additional conditions, not unmodified Apache-2.0. Self-hosting does not by itself keep data from connected model, plugin or tool providers.
