Exposes memory tools over MCP with deterministic graph traversal rather than pure vector similarity, which helps with multi-hop questions that share no vocabulary with the answer. The free tier is genuinely useful, and it works with any model. Hosted-only for now; self-hosted deployments are on the roadmap.
Strengths
- Deterministic entity-graph traversal reaches connected facts a vector search misses.
- Works with any model over MCP; no model lock-in.
- Free personal tier is genuinely useful.
- No vector database or separate model to run.
Known limitations
- Hosted service; memory text leaves your machine unless you wait for the self-hosted tier.
- Effectiveness depends on the agent consistently calling recall before answering.
- Pro and team pricing is not published transparently on the site.
Use it when
- Agents that need multi-hop reasoning across disconnected facts.
- Users who want persistent memory across sessions and clients.
Skip it when
- You cannot use a hosted service; self-hosted deployment is still on the roadmap.
- Your agent will not consistently call recall before answering.
- Published Pro/Team pricing is required before you buy.
Buy-check
- ·Price — freemium, Free personal tier; Pro for higher limits and graph inspection; Team/Enterprise custom as of 2026-08-19. Open the pricing page, not a screenshot.
- ·Free tier — Free tier exists — burn it first.
- ·Cancel fallout — What happens to your data/projects on cancel — check the ToS, not the FAQ.
- ·Seat math — Per-seat pricing multiplies quietly. Count seats before the annual plan.
- ·Who skips it — Also skipped when: You cannot use a hosted service; self-hosted deployment is still on the roadmap.; Your agent will not consistently call recall before answering..
