Users install whatever is on main\n\n### TradingAgents (B)\n\nGood for: Researchers who want a fixed multi-agent analysis of one listed instrument or crypto pair on a date, with point-in-time data for backtests, and who will run Python.\n\nAhead on:\n- Reliability, 67 against 53\n- Maintenance \u0026 community, 82 against 41\n- Transparency \u0026 trust, 68 against 52\n\nWatch for: No MCP client or MCP server, so an agent drives it only through Python or the CLI\n\n\n## Score by category\n\n| Category | Weight | guilds.run | TradingAgents | Edge |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Reliability | 16% (20 this run) | 53 | 67 | TradingAgents +14 |\n| Performance | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Schema \u0026 documentation | 13% (16.2 this run) | 58 | 61 | TradingAgents +3 |\n| Agent ergonomics | 13% (16.2 this run) | 67 | 61 | guilds.run +6 |\n| Security \u0026 auth | 14% (17.5 this run) | 68 | 62 | guilds.run +6 |\n| Payments \u0026 pricing | 10% (12.5 this run) | 60 | 60 | even |\n| Task success | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Maintenance \u0026 community | 7% (8.8 this run) | 41 | 82 | TradingAgents +41 |\n| Transparency \u0026 trust | 7% (8.8 this run) | 52 | 68 | TradingAgents +16 |\n| Negative events | ≤15 | -2 | 0 | |\n| **Total** | | **56.5 · C** | **64.7 · B** | |\n\n## Facts side by side\n\n| Fact | guilds.run | TradingAgents |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Kind | Agent framework | Agent framework |\n| Vendor | Cigale AI | Tauric Research |\n| Hosted endpoint | no (local only) | no (local only) |\n| Transports | | |\n| Auth | API key | API key |\n| Pricing | Free | Free |\n| x402 | no | no |\n| Licence | AGPL-3.0-only | Apache-2.0 |\n| Read-only variant documented | no | no |\n| llms.txt | no | no |\n| Last release | none | 2026-10-16 |\n| Terms last updated | no document linked | |\n| Privacy policy last updated | no document linked | |\n| Customer content may train models | | |\n| Terms restrict automated access | | |\n| Terms restrict benchmarking | | |\n| Terms or service can change without notice | | |\n| Arbitration or class-action waiver | | |\n| Popularity | 57 stars | 114k stars |\n\n## Verdicts\n\n**guilds.run.** A self-hosted multi-agent system that records each run's prompt, tool calls and memory changes, with per-agent models and tools and no telemetry by default. Public since 9 October 2026, it has no tagged release or published package, its own security register lists 13 open issues, and the site's terms and privacy links return 404.\n\n**TradingAgents.** An Apache 2.0 LangGraph framework at 0.7.0 with six releases in 90 days, a dated changelog with upgrade notes, a public test matrix and point-in-time rules for historical runs. It has no MCP client or server, no PyPI package and no documentation beyond the README, and its output is a model-written rating that places no orders.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### guilds.run\n\n1. Keep the box on loopback or behind an authenticating proxy with AUTH_MODE=trusted-header. The default mode does not authenticate\n2. Put agents that hold different secrets or GitHub tokens on different machines. Agents on one machine can read each other's homes and tokens\n3. Back up the .env file written by ./setup.sh. It holds the only copy of the key that encrypts stored credentials\n4. Set a spend limit at your model provider. guilds.run sets no spend cap, and max_tool_calls defaults to 50 per run\n5. Pin a commit of main when you deploy. There are no tagged releases or versioned images yet\n\n### TradingAgents\n\n1. Run headless with `tradingagents --ticker \u003cT\u003e --date \u003cYYYY-MM-DD\u003e --analysts market,news,fundamentals --save --no-show`; a missing answer stops the run and names the flag\n2. Guard on the REVIEW signal before mapping `propagate()`'s decision to a rating; it means no rating could be parsed\n3. Set SEC_EDGAR_USER_AGENT to the operator's own name and address before fetching US fundamentals\n4. Keep provider keys out of the working directory tree unless intended, since the package loads the nearest .env on import\n5. Treat the rating as model output for research; the framework places no orders and its results vary between runs\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, guilds.run or TradingAgents?\n\nTradingAgents scores 64.7 (B) on agent readiness against guilds.run's 56.5 (C), and leads in 4 of 7 scored categories. guilds.run leads on agent ergonomics and security \u0026 auth.\n\n### Are guilds.run and TradingAgents open source?\n\nYes. guilds.run is open source (AGPL-3.0-only). TradingAgents is open source (Apache-2.0).\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/guilds-run-vs-tradingagents.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/guilds-run-vs-tradingagents.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"guilds-run\", \"b\": \"tradingagents\"}`.
