Grunt vs Gulp

• Gulp and Grunt are both Automated Task Runner . Major Difference Between Gulp and Grunt Lies in How They Deal With Automation of Tasks Internally .
  
  Gulp Uses Node Streams For running different tasks and Grunt use temp files for the same work .
• Grunt runns tasks using Temporary files which are disk I/O operations. Your SASS file is compiled and then written to a temporary file. The temporary file is used by the autoprefixer and then the final product is written to the destination file.
  
  Working of Grunt
  
  Gulp runs task all in main memory. Your SASS file is compiled in main memory, then the result is passed to the autoprefixer without being written to a file and the destination file is then written out.
  
  Working of Gulp
• In-memory operations are faster as compared to disk writes which means that Gulp has a big speed advantage.
