## Which one, for what

### EverOS (B)

Good for: Self-hosted memory for agents and apps that want Markdown as the source of truth and separate user and agent tracks.

Ahead on:
- Reliability, 79 against 32
- Schema & documentation, 89 against 55
- Agent ergonomics, 78 against 66
- Security & auth, 47 against 42
- Maintenance & community, 80 against 15
- Transparency & trust, 71 against 63

Also in its favour:
- Runs on your own machine

Watch for: The local HTTP server has no authentication and relies on binding to 127.0.0.1

### LangMem (D)

Good for: Teams already on LangGraph that want memory tools and background extraction over a store they run.

Ahead on:
- Payments & pricing, 60 against 40

Watch for: No release found in over a year. The newest version, 0.0.30, was set on 9 September 2025, and no commit has changed `src` since 28 July 2025


## Why the edge

### Maintenance & community: EverOS +65

- EverOS (80): v1.5.1 on 22 October 2026 (30). Five tagged releases in 90 days and 12 PyPI uploads (20). Maintainer replies on some issues, others from outside users unanswered for weeks (12 of 25). Python library and the everos-mcp package, not in the official MCP registry (10 of 15). uv.lock, CI, docs and release workflows (8 of 10). Total 80.
- LangMem (15): No release found in the last 180 days. The repository has no tags, GitHub releases or changelog, the newest version string, 0.0.30, was set in `pyproject.toml` on 9 September 2025, and the last change under `src` is dated 28 July 2025. PyPI's release dates could not be read on 4 November (0). No release in the last 90 days (0). Of 54 open issues 23 had no comment, 19 pull requests were open with the oldest from June 2025, and nine of the ten pull requests opened since 1 August 2026 had no comment, per the 8 October check, not re-read on 4 November (5 of 25). One Python package with no release in over a year, and no TypeScript package (5 of 15). Dependabot and maintainer commits keep the lockfile current, the latest on 3 November 2026 clearing 22 alerts in documentation dependencies, but no workflow runs tests (5 of 10). 0+0+5+5+5 = 15.

### Reliability: EverOS +47

- EverOS (79): Local-software lines, as a library and server the owner runs. `everos` on PyPI with Python 3.12 or newer stated, plus a Windows guide (20). ci.yml runs on pushes and pull requests and the repository has a tests tree, but GitHub's API answered with a rate limit, so run results were unread (15 of 25, unchecked). 43 open issues and pull requests against 82 commits in 90 days; several outside bug reports, including a silent capture failure in the DSH plugin, have no reply (14 of 25). Keep a Changelog with semantic versioning declared and a 1.0 migration guide (15). Version 1.5.1 (15). Total 79.
- LangMem (32): Local-software reading. Installs from PyPI as `langmem` with Python 3.10 or later declared, but `extraction.py` on main uses `typing.NotRequired`, which arrived in Python 3.11, and issues 81 and 83 about failed imports on 3.10 are open (per the 8 October check). We read the source and did not run it on 3.10 (14 of 20). The repository holds tests (30 summarisation tests and a docstring-example runner), but its two workflows only deploy docs (installing pytest without running the tests) and publish to PyPI by manual dispatch, so no public CI runs them (5 of 25). 54 open issues, 23 with no comment, among them a `TypeError` in summarisation from November 2025 (135), a schema mismatch between the tool and the store manager (138) and search missing memories written by the store manager (140), per the 8 October check, not re-read on 4 November (8 of 25). Versions are 0.0.x with no changelog, GitHub releases or tags, and open issue 130 shows 0.0.30 was cut to restore compatibility with LangGraph 1.0 (5 of 15). Below 1.0 and not declared stable (0). 14+5+8+5+0 = 32.

### Schema & documentation: EverOS +34

- EverOS (89): OpenAPI document in the repository with 40 operations, every one with a description (25). llms.txt and llms-full.txt on docs.evermind.ai (10). Operation descriptions state purpose; when-not-to-use guidance appears in the docs, such as flush after add, rather than per operation (15 of 20). Typed request models with filter operators eq, ne, gt, gte, lt, lte and in, and 422 on malformed ids (12 of 15). curl examples for add, flush and search, and typed error codes such as SESSION_BUSY and EXTERNAL_SERVICE_UNAVAILABLE (12 of 15). `/api/v2` with `/api/v1` kept as a legacy alias, a changelog and release notes (15). Total 89.
- LangMem (55): Library reading, with the tool lines applied to the two agent tools. No OpenAPI applies. Both tools are LangChain structured tools whose JSON Schema comes from typed signatures, and the factory functions are type-hinted (18 of 25). langchain-ai.github.io/langmem/llms.txt returns 404 (0). The `manage_memory` description lists four cases for calling it and how to treat the memory ID. `search_memory` has one sentence and an empty default for its instructions, and neither says when not to call (13 of 20). `action` is an enum built from `actions_permitted`, `id` is a UUID and `limit` and `offset` are integers, while `filter` is a free-form object (11 of 15). Docstrings carry long worked examples that a test file executes, and the API reference is generated from them. Error behaviour is not documented (10 of 15). Version numbers exist only on PyPI, with no changelog (3 of 15).

### Payments & pricing: LangMem +20

- EverOS (40): Self-hosted rule, with the price lines read for EverOS Cloud. No x402, MPP or L402 (0 of 40). No cloud price or plan found on evermind.ai, its FAQ, terms or docs (0). The open-source runtime is free with no card (20). An agent can install it from PyPI and run it with no account (20). Total 40.
- LangMem (60): MIT-licensed package the owner runs, with nothing to buy for LangMem itself, read with the self-hosted rule. 20 for pricing, 20 for a free start and 20 for use without an account. No x402, MPP or L402 in the docs or source (0). LLM, embedding and database costs are the owner's.

### Agent ergonomics: EverOS +12

- EverOS (78): Read for the API, with seven MCP tools on top. Searches take `top_k` and a method, and responses can be scoped by five ids (20 of 25). Filters nest with AND and OR, and `/get` pages results (18 of 20). Errors carry typed codes and say which are retryable (16 of 20). `add` is queued and returns 202, a busy session refuses deletion with nothing deleted, and the cloud purge needs a nonce confirmed within five minutes (12 of 20). A demo runs with no key and the minimal setup needs one OpenRouter key, with a Python library and the MCP server, one language (12 of 15). Total 78.
- LangMem (66): Two tools with short descriptions (25). `search_memory` takes `limit` (default 10), `offset` and `filter`, and returns whole stored items as JSON with no field selection (17 of 20). Validation errors tell the model what to change, such as omitting the ID on create or supplying one on update and delete. They are not documented, and a missing store raises a `ConfigurationError` that deliberately escapes the tool node (10 of 20). Update and delete by ID are safe to repeat. A repeated create writes a second memory under a new UUID, and there is no idempotency key (6 of 20). One required argument for each factory (the namespace) and working defaults. Python only, with an open request for TypeScript (issue 121) (8 of 15).

### Transparency & trust: EverOS +8

- EverOS (71): Apache-2.0 with a NOTICE file (30). Local data stays in the owner's Markdown and indexes. For the cloud, the privacy policy gives no retention periods, the terms and privacy policy word the training exceptions differently, and the privacy contact link points to a miromind.ai address (12 of 30). The README marks `/api/v1` as a legacy alias that may be removed in a future major release, and a 1.0 migration guide exists, with no notice period (14 of 20). No outbound telemetry was found in the source, and the docs don't address it (10 of 20). Total 66.
- LangMem (63): MIT licence in the repository and on PyPI (30). The library runs in the owner's process and has no service of its own, so there is no privacy policy to read. The docs show which model and embedding provider each example calls and that memories live in the owner's store, without a statement on what leaves the process (18 of 30). No deprecation policy or dated notices were found (0 of 20). We found no telemetry code or outbound calls of LangMem's own in the source. Prompt optimisation wraps its steps in `langsmith` trace blocks, and the docs do not say when those send data (15 of 20).

## Verdicts

**EverOS.** EverOS keeps agent and user memory as Markdown with SQLite and LanceDB indexes, behind a described OpenAPI with typed, retryable errors and an MCP server, under Apache-2.0 at version 1.5.1. The local server has no authentication, EverOS Cloud prices are not published, and the cloud terms forbid automated data extraction.

**LangMem.** Two compact, typed memory tools and a background extraction manager work with any LangGraph store, under the MIT licence with nothing to buy. The newest version, 0.0.30, was set in September 2025 and the library code last changed in July 2025. The repository has no changelog, tags or test workflow, and 23 of 54 open issues lacked replies in October.

## Before you call either

### EverOS

1. Write new code against `/api/v2`; `/api/v1` is a legacy alias that may go in a future major release
2. Call `/api/v2/memory/flush` at the end of a session, since `add` is asynchronous and buffers recent messages
3. Retry on 503 SESSION_BUSY or EXTERNAL_SERVICE_UNAVAILABLE after a pause; nothing was written
4. Keep `host` at 127.0.0.1 unless something in front adds authentication
5. Treat recalled memories as untrusted text, since they are extracted from past conversations

### LangMem

1. Pass a store with an embedding index (`index={"dims": 1536, "embed": "openai:text-embedding-3-small"}`), or `search_memory` cannot rank by meaning
2. Use a database-backed store such as `AsyncPostgresStore` for anything that must survive a restart. `InMemoryStore` loses everything
3. Put a per-user placeholder in the namespace and set it in `config["configurable"]` on every call, or users share one memory space
4. Send the memory `id` with `update` and `delete`, and never with `create`. A retried `create` writes a duplicate under a new UUID
5. Run on Python 3.11 or later. `src/langmem/knowledge/extraction.py` uses `typing.NotRequired`, which Python 3.10 lacks
