CrewAI

CrewAI is a Python framework for role-based agent teams. The hosted product on crewai.com/enterprise is CrewAI Enterprise Cloud. The old AMP name is not on that pricing page. GitHub crewAIInc/crewAI showed about 41,996 stars the same day. The previous "30,000+" figure is stale.

If you need a durable graph instead of role crews, use LangGraph. If you want OpenAI's official thin runtime, use the Agents SDK.

Key Features

Crews: Role, goal, backstory, then sequential or hierarchical tasks.
Flows: Event-driven orchestration next to crews.
OSS package: pip install crewai and the getting-started crewai create crew.
Enterprise Cloud: Hosted traces, CI/CD, and seat plans. The enterprise page also lists AWS Marketplace and a $99,000 / year Enterprise Platform line.
Sandbox story is yours: Pair crews with E2B or Modal if agents must exec code.

Use Cases

Ops automations that map cleanly onto named roles.
Teams that want a visual/hosted layer on top of the Python package.
Builders who already rejected LangChain and want a standalone crew model.

Limitation: Enterprise Cloud prices are per-seat after a 14-day trial. The $99,000 platform line is a separate quote, not a seat. Star counts move. Confirm GitHub.

Getting Started

Read the docs.
pip install crewai then crewai create crew.
Add tools only after one sequential crew works locally.
If you need hosted traces, start the 14-day Enterprise Cloud trial. Do not assume AMP is still the SKU name.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is AMP still the product?

The live enterprise page sells Enterprise Cloud (Basic / Standard / Enterprise Platform). Do not lead with AMP.

Is 30k stars still right?

No. About 41,996 on 2026-08-17.

Crews or LangGraph?

Crews if you think in roles. LangGraph if you think in durable state machines.

Alternatives

LangGraph: Durable graphs and HITL.
OpenAI Agents SDK: Official OpenAI primitives.
E2B: Exec sandbox under whatever framework you pick.

Tips

Keep the first crew tiny. Add flows after the roles are stable.
Quote $99 / $499 seats, not a made-up "AMP" bundle.
Confirm stars and the enterprise page before a competitive slide.

Conclusion

CrewAI is still the role-based Python crew framework, now with a named Enterprise Cloud at $99 and $499 per seat. Start at the docs, then open enterprise pricing only if you need the hosted layer.
