How does this compare to say, Node Red?

[otabdeveloper4]

Node-Red is the original.

N8n and its clones are attempts to copy and commercialize it with a closed-source license.

Node-RED is great for IoT/edge/data flows. Sim is built specifically for AI agents—native LLM support, tool-use control, structured outputs, token-level observability, etc.

[otabdeveloper4]

There is nothing in Node-Red that is specific to IoT.

[waleedlatif1]

afaik, there are actually a ton of unique IoT integrations that node-red has. a majority of their nodes/flows have accompanying physical devices and sensors

[otabdeveloper4]

No, you're misremembering.

The only weird integration that Node-Red has is MQTT, but that isn't really anything IoT-specific, just a niche message broker.
