The honest brief

mem0

Fastest path to agent memory — extracts distilled facts with a tiny token footprint and the biggest community.

  • Quick to adopt, broad framework integrations
  • Stores distilled facts, small footprint
  • Vector + graph + key-value storage
  • Open-source with usable free tier
  • Weaker on temporal/state-change queries
  • LLM call on every write adds latency
  • Test deletion/conflict handling for regulated use
  • More library than full memory server

Memobase

Models memory as a structured user profile plus timestamped event timeline — tops LOCOMO temporal-reasoning (~85%).

  • Distills chats, not raw embeddings
  • Strong temporal-reasoning benchmark
  • Low-latency on FastAPI/Postgres/Redis
  • Python/Node/Go SDKs + MCP server
  • Smaller community than mem0/Zep
  • Profile schema needs upfront design
  • Less production-server tooling than Zep
  • Newer, less battle-tested
