The README says no telemetry, tracking or forced log-ins (30 of 30). Worktree per agent, on your own machine (10 of 20). No prompt-injection guidance (5). No audit log (5). SECURITY.md (8). 30 + 10 + 5 + 5 + 8 = 58.\n\n### Transparency \u0026 trust: Paseo +13\n\n- Letta (55): Apache-2.0 (30). The privacy policy has no date, no legal entity and no retention periods, and says hosted message data may train future models (8 of 30). The README and docs mark AgentFile, the Electron app and the V1 server as deprecated or retired, without dated notice periods (12 of 20). Telemetry is described in the privacy policy only as basic and opt-out when supported; the LETTA_CODE_TELEM=0 switch appears only in the source (5 of 20). Total 55.\n- Paseo (68): Apache 2.0 for everything but third-party components (30). No telemetry and agents run on your machine (22 of 30). CHANGELOG.md, no deprecation policy (10). States no telemetry (20). 30 + 22 + 10 + 20 = 82.\n\n### Maintenance \u0026 community: Letta +10\n\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- Paseo (75): v0.15.3 and commits on 7 November 2026 (30). More than three releases in 90 days (20). GitHub issues and pull requests weren't read (GitHub's pages refuse these sessions), so that line is scored absent (0). Current builds (15). CI on push (10). 30 + 20 + 0 + 15 + 10 = 75.\n\n### Reliability: Letta +8\n\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- Paseo (50): Local software. Desktop builds, an Android APK, a Docker image and a Nix package (20). ci.yml on the repository; pass state not read (15). GitHub issues and pull requests weren't read (GitHub's pages refuse these sessions), so that line is scored absent (0). CHANGELOG.md (15). Version 0.15.3 (0). 20 + 15 + 0 + 15 + 0 = 50.\n\n### Schema \u0026 documentation: Letta +5\n\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- Paseo (65): Harness reading. Public docs, a CLI and plugin examples in the repository (65).\n\n## Score by category\n\n| Category | Weight | Letta | Paseo | Edge |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Reliability | 16% (20 this run) | 58 | 50 | Letta +8 |\n| Performance | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Schema \u0026 documentation | 13% (16.2 this run) | 70 | 65 | Letta +5 |\n| Agent ergonomics | 13% (16.2 this run) | 67 | 70 | Paseo +3 |\n| Security \u0026 auth | 14% (17.5 this run) | 35 | 58 | Paseo +23 |\n| Payments \u0026 pricing | 10% (12.5 this run) | 60 | 60 | even |\n| Task success | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Maintenance \u0026 community | 7% (8.8 this run) | 85 | 75 | Letta +10 |\n| Transparency \u0026 trust | 7% (8.8 this run) | 55 | 68 | Paseo +13 |\n| Negative events | ≤15 | 0 | 0 | |\n| **Total** | | **59.7 · C** | **62.1 · B** | |\n\n## Facts side by side\n\n| Fact | Letta | Paseo |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Kind | Agent harness | Agent harness |\n| Vendor | Letta | Mohamed Boudra |\n| Hosted endpoint | no (local only) | no (local only) |\n| Transports | stdio | |\n| Auth | OAuth or key | None |\n| Pricing | Freemium | Free |\n| x402 | no | no |\n| Licence | Apache-2.0 | Apache-2.0 |\n| Read-only variant documented | no | no |\n| llms.txt | yes | no |\n| Last release | 2026-11-06 | 2026-11-07 |\n| Terms last updated | no date given | no document linked |\n| Privacy policy last updated | no date given | no document linked |\n| Customer content may train models | not found in the text | not read yet |\n| Terms restrict automated access | not found in the text | not read yet |\n| Terms restrict benchmarking | not found in the text | not read yet |\n| Terms or service can change without notice | not found in the text | not read yet |\n| Arbitration or class-action waiver | yes | not read yet |\n| Popularity | 3.8k stars, 86k npm/wk, 2.2k PyPI/wk | none |\n\n## Verdicts\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**Paseo.** A self-hosted, open-source workspace for running many coding agents on your own machines, scriptable from the CLI and reachable from phone, web or desktop, with no telemetry or forced log-in. It's pre-1.0 and run largely by one maintainer.\n\n## Before you call either\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### Paseo\n\n1. Run the daemon on the machine that has your tools and credentials, and connect from the clients\n2. Script runs from the CLI for repeatable agent jobs\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Letta or Paseo?\n\nPaseo scores 62.1 (B) on agent readiness against Letta's 59.7 (C), and leads in 3 of 7 scored categories. Letta leads on reliability, schema \u0026 documentation and maintenance \u0026 community.\n\n### Are Letta and Paseo open source?\n\nYes. Letta is open source (Apache-2.0). Paseo is open source (Apache-2.0).\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/letta-vs-paseo.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/letta-vs-paseo.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"letta\", \"b\": \"paseo\"}`.
