Composio's benchmark of agent frameworks shows Claude Code delivers the fastest performance but charges $0.195 per task—nearly three times more than the cheapest alternative.
In testing Deepseek V4 Flash across four agent frameworks on 30 real-world tasks, Composio found success rates remained largely equivalent. However, costs diverged significantly.
OpenCode emerged as the most affordable option at $0.073 per task. Claude Code topped the pricing at $0.195 despite using fewer tool calls and generating less output tokens than competitors.
Speed differentiated Claude Code from rivals. The framework completed tasks faster, though at a premium cost.
Success rates across frameworks clustered within similar ranges, suggesting performance parity on standard tasks. The choice between frameworks therefore hinges on two factors: budget constraints and speed requirements.
Organizations prioritizing cost efficiency may favor cheaper alternatives. Those requiring faster task completion can justify Claude Code's higher price point. The benchmark indicates no single framework dominates across all metrics—tradeoffs between speed and expense remain central to framework selection.
