Pick GHCup if…

GHCup suits Haskell developers who want to install and manage GHC and related tools across supported systems. It can also suit teams using Stack or CI/CD workflows.

Pick Volta if…

Volta may suit developers who want project-specific Node versions and pinned command-line tools across Windows, macOS, or Linux. Its unmaintained status makes it less suitable for teams seeking an actively maintained tool.
