ValorBrain vs mem0
ValorBrain or mem0?
The same cells as the comparison page, with only the two columns. Every claim about mem0 comes from its own documentation, with a link and a date; every claim about ValorBrain comes from our public pages.
Why ValorBrain
What a team gets by using ValorBrain as the memory of its people and agents. Six differentiators, each with its proof next to it.
Memory with a current version and authority
When a fact changes, the new value takes over without erasing the history, and every value says who asserted it. The agent gets the current version, not the one that merely looks most like the question.
Proof↗ Keyed facts win over old prose; authority human > designated > import > agent; the value can be read as of any date (as_of).
Documents and vectors in Brazil, LGPD and on-prem on Enterprise
DPA and subprocessors published, legal basis and data-subject rights in the Privacy Policy. On Enterprise, on-prem inside your perimeter or a dedicated instance, under contract.
Proof↗ Documents, vectors and the database stay in Brazil. Answer generation uses a model provider outside the country, and the encrypted backup lives in the cloud (Google Drive).
Per-source permissions and an access log
Read grants per business domain for a person, role or agent, with validity and reason. Every read records who read it, through which agent and which version.
Proof↗ Controls verified in production on 2026-09-24: per-source ACL (enabled per tenant), read log and an append-only mutation trail with a hash chain.
MCP with real OAuth, and hooks in the main agents
One hosted MCP endpoint: Claude.ai connects through OAuth, with no token to paste. Hooks bring the relevant memory to the agent at session start and on every prompt (where the agent allows it), without it having to remember to search.
Proof↗ OAuth 2.1 with registration_endpoint (DCR) · hooks: Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Kiro, Cursor.
Ranking without an LLM, 0 calls per search
BM25 and vectors fused by RRF and reranked by a cross-encoder. An LLM only expands the query; it never decides what comes back. Predictable, auditable search with no model cost in ranking.
Proof↗ BEAM-100K, end-to-end answers: average 75.5% (binary 80.8%) (run 2026-08-23, reader GLM-5.3 Flash (Ox Alpha), effort=max). Method and limits at /benchmarks.
Flat price per person
Agents don't count as seats and nothing is billed per answer or per document, so the team uses it without watching a meter. Start free, no card.
Proof↗ Solo US$39, Core US$99, Operations US$199 per month; annual = 12 months for the price of 10.
