Markdown https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/letta.md · JSON https://www.anchorterminal.com/api/v1/tools/letta.json\n- Best agent harnesses and coding agents: https://www.anchorterminal.com/best/agent-harnesses/index.md\n- All 1500 harnesses comparisons: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/agent-harnesses/index.md\n- Best memory layers for AI agents: https://www.anchorterminal.com/best/agent-memory/index.md\n- All 353 memory comparisons: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/agent-memory/index.md\n\n## Which one, for what\n\n### Conductor (E)\n\nGood for: Existing Conductor users planning their move before Cloud closes on 20 November 2026 and the local app winds down in early 2027.\n\nAhead on:\n- Security \u0026 auth, 45 against 35\n\nWatch for: No new downloads or sign-ups since 4 November 2026\n\n### Letta (C)\n\nGood for: Long-lived coding agents and assistants that keep memory and identity across sessions and machines.\n\nAhead on:\n- Reliability, 58 against 25\n- Schema \u0026 documentation, 70 against 60\n- Agent ergonomics, 67 against 55\n- Payments \u0026 pricing, 60 against 0\n- Maintenance \u0026 community, 85 against 58\n\nAlso in its favour:\n- Runs on your own machine\n- Open source\n\nWatch for: The default permission mode is `unrestricted`, the renamed `bypassPermissions`, so tool calls aren't confirmed unless the user picks another mode\n\n\n## Why the edge\n\n### Payments \u0026 pricing: Letta +60\n\n- Conductor (0): No new sign-ups since 4 November, free users can't upgrade, and no price is shown. No protocol, no published price, no open free tier, no onboarding (0).\n- Letta (60): No x402, MPP or L402 (0 of 40). Per-unit API prices are public, $0.10 per active agent a month and $0.00015 a second of tool execution, plus plan prices (20). A $0 plan with bring-your-own keys; no card is mentioned (20). The CLI runs locally without signing in (20). Total 60.\n\n### Reliability: Letta +33\n\n- Conductor (25): Read as local software that is winding down. Installed from Conductor's own download, which stopped taking new users on 4 November 2026 (10). Closed source, so no public CI or issue tracker (0, 0). A dated changelog, newest 0.93.0 on 4 November (15). Version 0.93 (0). 10 + 0 + 0 + 15 + 0 = 25.\n- Letta (58): Local-software lines, read for the harness. `@letta-ai/letta-code` on npm with Node.js 22.19 or newer, and PyPI wheels for glibc Linux, macOS 14 and Windows x64 with Python 3.9 or newer stated (20). ci.yml, nightly update smoke tests and Telegram live smoke tests exist, but GitHub's API answered with a rate limit, so run results were unread (15 of 25, unchecked). 332 open issues and pull requests, mostly pull requests; recent bug reports such as recall reading the wrong conversation have no reply yet (15 of 25). 398 tags at 0.34.x with release notes on GitHub, no changelog file, and breaking removals such as AgentFile announced in the README (8 of 15). Pre-1.0 (0). Total 58.\n\n### Maintenance \u0026 community: Letta +27\n\n- Conductor (58): 0.93.0 on 4 November 2026 (30). Several dated releases in 90 days, per the changelog index (20). Discord, a subreddit and email for support (8). Closed app, no package or CI to read (0). 30 + 20 + 8 + 0 + 0 = 58. The local app gets new models and critical fixes only until early 2027.\n- Letta (85): v0.34.42 on 6 November 2026 (30). Dozens of releases in 90 days (20). Pull requests are merged daily; recent issues from users have few replies (15 of 25). npm and PyPI packages and the Agent SDK track the releases (12 of 15). Lock files, CI and nightly smoke tests (8 of 10). Total 85.\n\n### Agent ergonomics: Letta +12\n\n- Conductor (55): Harness reading. Each task gets a workspace, branch, terminal and diff, with pull requests and merges from the app, and an API for integrations; not re-read in detail (55).\n- Letta (67): Harness reading. Toolsets switch with `/model`, skills load per agent, and subagents run in the background (18 of 25). Context is managed through memory blocks, reflection and dreaming (12 of 20). `letta -p --output-format json` for scripted runs and an App Server for programmatic control (12 of 20). Conversations resume by agent and conversation id, and memory is git-tracked so changes can be reverted (15 of 20). Runs with no account on the local backend, with one SDK language, TypeScript (10 of 15). Total 67.\n\n### Schema \u0026 documentation: Letta +10\n\n- Conductor (60): Harness reading. Docs for workspaces, review and merge, a Conductor API reference page linked from the docs (not read), and security and permissions pages (60).\n- Letta (70): Harness reading. docs.letta.com serves llms.txt and a Markdown version of every page, with an `applies_to` block saying which backend and interface each page covers (10). TypeScript types for the Agent SDK and a documented App Server WebSocket protocol, but no JSON Schema or OpenAPI for the harness (15 of 25). Pages say when to use local or cloud backends, subagents and channels (14 of 20). Permission modes and options are typed in the SDK (12 of 15). Example applications and a remote client reference (11 of 15). Releases most days but no changelog file (8 of 15). Total 70.\n\n### Security \u0026 auth: Conductor +10\n\n- Conductor (45): Closed app. Telemetry and data handling weren't read beyond the transition notice (10 of 30). A security and permissions page (10 of 20). No prompt-injection guidance found (5). No audit log found (5). SOC 2 Type II report at trust.conductor.build (15 of 20). 10 + 10 + 5 + 5 + 15 = 45.\n- Letta (35): Harness reading of the framework checklist, as for the other harnesses. 30 for what leaves the machine by default, 20 for approvals and sandboxing, 15 for injection posture, 15 for audit and 20 for the security programme. Letta Cloud is the default backend, so agent state and conversations go to Letta's servers, and telemetry is on by default (10 of 30). The default permission mode is `unrestricted`; `standard`, `acceptEdits` and `strict` are opt-in, and cloud sandboxes exist for remote work (4 of 20). No prompt-injection guidance found for fetched pages or channel messages (5 of 15). Conversation search and git history of memory give an operator a record of what the agent saw and changed (10 of 15). SECURITY.md routes reports to support@letta.com and scopes out the retired server; no security.txt, bounty or certification found (6 of 20). Total 35.\n\n## Score by category\n\n| Category | Weight | Conductor | Letta | Edge |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Reliability | 16% (20 this run) | 25 | 58 | Letta +33 |\n| Performance | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Schema \u0026 documentation | 13% (16.2 this run) | 60 | 70 | Letta +10 |\n| Agent ergonomics | 13% (16.2 this run) | 55 | 67 | Letta +12 |\n| Security \u0026 auth | 14% (17.5 this run) | 45 | 35 | Conductor +10 |\n| Payments \u0026 pricing | 10% (12.5 this run) | 0 | 60 | Letta +60 |\n| Task success | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Maintenance \u0026 community | 7% (8.8 this run) | 58 | 85 | Letta +27 |\n| Transparency \u0026 trust | 7% (8.8 this run) | 53 | 55 | Letta +2 |\n| Negative events | ≤15 | 0 | 0 | |\n| **Total** | | **41.3 · E** | **59.7 · C** | |\n\n## Facts side by side\n\n| Fact | Conductor | Letta |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Kind | Agent harness | Agent harness |\n| Vendor | Conductor (joining Meta) | Letta |\n| Hosted endpoint | no (local only) | no (local only) |\n| Transports | | stdio |\n| Auth | OAuth or key | OAuth or key |\n| Pricing | Paid | Freemium |\n| x402 | no | no |\n| Licence | Proprietary.

It has taken no new users since 4 November 2026, Cloud turns read-only on 13 November and shuts down on 20 November, and the local app winds down in early 2027, when all user data is deleted.\n\n**Letta.** Letta's open-source harness gives agents git-tracked memory blocks, skills, subagents and headless JSON runs, with a $0 plan and public per-agent API prices. It starts in the unrestricted permission mode, defaults to Letta Cloud, sends usage telemetry unless LETTA_CODE_TELEM=0 is set, and the V1 API server the comparisons describe is retired.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Conductor\n\n1. Export your data from Settings, Account, Export data before 20 November 2026\n2. Move Cloud workspaces to your Mac with Transfer to local before 13 November\n3. Plan a move off the local app before early 2027; see the agent-harnesses category for alternatives\n\n### Letta\n\n1. Start headless runs with an explicit permission mode such as `standard` or `strict`; the default auto-approves tools\n2. Pass `--backend local` for work that must stay on the machine, since Letta Cloud is the default\n3. Set LETTA_CODE_TELEM=0 in unattended runs if usage events must not be sent\n4. Use `letta -p --output-format json` for scripted runs and parse the JSON, not the terminal output\n5. Don't plan on the retired V1 REST server or `.af` AgentFile import; both are gone\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Conductor or Letta?\n\nLetta scores 59.7 (C) on agent readiness against Conductor's 41.3 (E), and leads in 6 of 7 scored categories. Conductor leads on security \u0026 auth.\n\n### Are Conductor and Letta open source?\n\nNo open-source release is listed for Conductor. Letta is open source (Apache-2.0).\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/conductor-vs-letta.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/conductor-vs-letta.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"conductor\", \"b\": \"letta\"}`.
