ElizaOS vs Almanak
Every row read live from the directory · updated 2026-09-12
Both are listed as agent frameworks, which makes this the rarer kind of comparison: a genuine like-for-like. The question people actually bring is whether to build on the large, general, plugin-heavy framework or the narrower, strategy-shaped one, and that is a question about what you are building rather than about which project is better.
The table below is the evidence the directory holds on both: how open each is, when each last moved in public, what an agent can call, and whether the documented install has been reproduced. Read the openness and maintenance rows first — for a framework you will live inside for months, they matter more than any feature list.
ElizaOS is a framework by elizaOS, open source (MIT), last active 2026-09-12 (active), Sato Score 87 of 100 as of 2026-09-12, on Solana, Ethereum, Base, Multichain.
Almanak is a framework by Almanak, partly open source, last active 2026-09-11 (active), Sato Score 83 of 100 as of 2026-09-12, on Multichain, Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, Base and 6 more.

Pick ElizaOS if
- ·You want a broad, general-purpose agent framework with a large plugin surface and a lot of existing integration code to read.
- ·You expect to wire several chains and several services into one agent rather than specialising.
- ·You value an active public repository you can fork and debug yourself over a managed surface.
Pick Almanak if
- ·Your agent is a trading or strategy agent first, and a conversational one second or not at all.
- ·You prefer a narrower framework shaped around the problem you actually have over a general one you must shape yourself.
- ·You are comfortable with whatever the openness row below says about it — check it before committing, because it is the row that decides how much of this you can fix yourself.
Questions this comparison answers
- Is ElizaOS or Almanak more actively maintained?
- ElizaOS is a framework by elizaOS, open source (MIT), last active 2026-09-12 (active), Sato Score 87 of 100 as of 2026-09-12, on Solana, Ethereum, Base, Multichain. Almanak is a framework by Almanak, partly open source, last active 2026-09-11 (active), Sato Score 83 of 100 as of 2026-09-12, on Multichain, Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, Base and 6 more. Activity is a recency signal from public commits, releases and posts, not a quality judgment.
- Which one is open source?
- ElizaOS: Yes. Almanak: Partial. "Unknown" means Sato Hub found no license statement.
- Does Sato Hub declare a winner?
- No. Every row is read live from the directory and the page names what the data cannot settle. Neither Sato Score is a security assessment, and a framework score says nothing about the code you will write inside it. The rows that matter most here — how much of each is published as source, and how recently each moved — are also the rows most likely to have changed since you last looked, which is why they are read live rather than written down. If either will hold signing keys, read its key-handling code yourself before it holds anything worth taking.
