Verdicts

Hindsight

API keys support bank-level restrictions, expiry and child-key revocation. Retain ingestion costs $10 per million tokens.

Mem0 Platform + MCP

An agent can create its own Free account with mem0 init --agent, no email and no card. Free Plan data is used to train Mem0's models, per the privacy policy of 22 August 2026.

Before you call either

Hindsight

  1. Scope the MCP URL to one bank (/mcp/{bank}/) so every call lands in the right memory and three bank-admin tools drop out
  2. Use recall for lookups and keep reflect ($0.05 a call) for questions that need reasoning
  3. Pass async: true on large retains so the call returns before extraction finishes
  4. Treat HTTP 402 as out of credit and 403 as a key that can't reach that bank

Mem0 Platform + MCP

  1. Send the REST key as Authorization: Token <key>, and the MCP key as Bearer
  2. Don't search for a memory straight after adding it. Adds are queued, so poll get_event_status with the returned event ID
  3. Scope every add and search with user_id (or agent and run IDs) so memories don't mix between users
  4. Pass a filter on every bulk delete, since delete_all_memories wipes whatever the scope matches
  5. On Hobby and Starter, count retrievals rather than adds. The retrieval quota is a tenth the size
