Memobase
Depot pick for portable/user-profile memory (MCP across Claude/ChatGPT/agents). Mem0 remains general hosted-agent-memory default; Zep for temporal graphs; Letta for MemGPT-style runtime. Strengths: MCP-native cross-assistant memory; Cheap Pro tier; Profile/event model + graph retrieval.
Strengths
- MCP-native cross-assistant memory
- Cheap Pro tier
- Profile/event model + graph retrieval
Weaknesses
- Product surface spans personal vault + developer API
- Younger than Mem0
- CN/global endpoint split to reason about
Mem0
Default hosted agent memory bolt-on. Model retrieval volume carefully; self-host OSS if caps hurt. Strengths: Drop-in agent memory API; OSS + hosted; Fast prototype path.
Strengths
- Drop-in agent memory API
- OSS + hosted
- Fast prototype path
Weaknesses
- Retrieval metering surprises
- Graph gated to higher tiers
- Not a full vector DB
