Addin VS Python script

Hello guys ,
Is there a difference between making add-in and making python script in dynamo , can i make the same optimization in the code ???!!

i believe there are already lots and ton of tips and solution out here in the forum if you do a quick search about it, but what i can say is that dynamo uses idling events, which means it can in a way perform more task than add-in unless you know about of the work around. Dynamo requires unwrapping and wrapping of revit elements whereas addin doesnt require.

The main benefit of Dynamo is flexibility.

A complete add-in will likely be more stable and can have a custom interface for a better UI, however it will probably be much more rigid in what it does and the rules it has to follow.

A Dynamo graph can be customized for individual projects, clients, or any other specific requirements you may have. Once you have the main structure of the graph it’s quick and easy to make minor changes to meet your exact needs.
