| Agentless Architecture | Agent-Based Architecture |
|---|---|
| Easy to set up, no backend agent required | Requires extra setup to host and manage the agent |
| Great for simple frontends, static sites, or quick demos | Best for complex workflows, tools, or apps needing memory |
| No built-in memory, mostly stateless | Supports memory, history and evolving context |
| Ideal for AI chat UIs, sidekicks, or small assistants | Perfect for dev agents, RPA bots, and fully autonomous agents |
| Only needs access to an MCP-compatible server | Needs its own backend or container runtime |
| Easy to scale across users by just deploying the frontend | Needs backend scaling strategy for multiple concurrent agents |
