Overview

Memgraph is an in-memory graph database queried with Cypher, used to traverse multi-hop relationships for GraphRAG, AI agent memory and analytics such as fraud detection, data lineage and supply chain modelling. It runs ACID transactions with on-disk persistence, replication, vector search and the MAGE algorithm library, and installs on Linux, macOS or Windows.

Best for: Teams building GraphRAG, AI agent memory or real-time graph analytics on an in-memory graph database
Pricing: No figures are published: Community Edition is free and open source, Memgraph Cloud offers a free trial, and Enterprise is quoted by memory capacity through sales, with a 30-day trial available.
Runs on: Self-hostedCLI

Strengths and trade-offs

Strengths

Community Edition is free, open source and production-ready
Cypher plus Neo4j-compatible interfaces and protocols
Vector search and MAGE algorithm library in the free edition
Enterprise licence covers queries, compute and replicas with no extra fees

Trade-offs

No prices published; Enterprise requires a sales conversation
Cost scales with memory capacity, so large graphs get expensive
Stated graph sizes run 100 GB–4 TB, bounded by in-memory design
SSO, RBAC, multi-tenancy and automatic failover are Enterprise-only
