Highlighted rows are where these differ.
GraphRAG
- Extracts entities and relationships, then summarises communities
- Answers “what are the themes here” which vector search cannot
- Expensive to index
Best for questions no single chunk can answer.
RAGFlow
- Strong document parsing built in
- The usual entry point for non-developers
Best for teams without a Python engineer.
