Cognee vs mem0

Pick two tools from the same category to compare side-by-side.

	Cognee Open-source memory platform that gives AI agents persistent long-term memory via combined knowledge graphs and vector embeddings.	mem0 Per-user long-term memory layer for agents with fact extraction.

Strengths	+ Combines graph and vector storage for relationship-aware retrieval beyond similarity search + Provenance tracking on ingested context from files, APIs, and databases + First-party integrations with agent tooling (Claude Code, LangGraph, MCP server) + Pluggable backends for graph, vector, and relational storage	+ Per-user fact extraction out of the box + Managed and self-hostable + Simple API surface
Tradeoffs	− LLM-driven graph construction adds cost and latency to the ingestion pipeline − Younger project with a fast-moving API surface compared to mature retrieval stores − Graph-plus-vector architecture introduces more moving parts than a plain vector memory	− Opinionated extraction may not fit all domains
