The honest brief

Cognee

Builds an LLM-derived knowledge graph alongside embeddings, so recall follows relationships, not just vector similarity.

  • Self-hostable Python SDK
  • Recall follows concept relationships
  • Bring your own LLM/embedding provider
  • Newer, smaller ecosystem
  • Cognify pipeline adds LLM cost
  • Self-host setup overhead

EverMind

A brain-inspired, self-evolving memory OS that's portable across agents, posting strong LongMemEval and LoCoMo scores rather than a single-app store.

  • Apache-2.0 open-source core
  • Self-host or managed cloud
  • Portable across agents/platforms
  • Strong long-memory benchmark scores
  • Newer project, smaller ecosystem
  • Self-host setup overhead
  • Cloud pricing not fully public
