Uteke Cloud vs Zep
Zep is a context layer for teams and regulated companies, built on a temporal knowledge graph. Uteke Cloud is one memory for one person's agents. Both offer a remote MCP server.
Side by side
| Topic | Zep | Uteke Cloud |
|---|---|---|
| Built for | Teams and regulated industries that need governed company knowledge. | People who use several AI agents and want them to share one memory. |
| Connecting an agent | MCP with OAuth through your organization's Google Workspace, or an OIDC provider on Enterprise. An admin enables the connection first. The Claude and ChatGPT plugin path needs their team plans. | Works with a personal account: add one MCP URL and sign in with a CodeCora ID. Tested end to end with Claude, ChatGPT and Claude Code. |
| How memory is built | A language model turns each episode into facts in a temporal graph. Outdated facts are marked invalid instead of deleted. | Your text is stored as written. When a memory is replaced, the old one stays linked to the one that replaced it. |
| Recall | Graph search over facts, with point-in-time questions. | Keyword and meaning search in one ranking. No AI reads your memories when they are recalled. |
| Free plan | 10,000 credits a month, 2 projects and 1 MCP seat. The next plan is $125 a month. | 20,000 memories and 2,000 recalls a day, no card, during the open beta. |
| Export | Not documented in Zep's help center. | Everything as NDJSON or a Markdown zip, whenever you want. |
| Where data lives | AWS, listed as a US subprocessor. Bring your own cloud on Enterprise. | Stored on our servers in Singapore. |
| Compliance | SOC 2 Type II. HIPAA BAA on Enterprise. | No SOC 2 report yet. |
| Open source | Graphiti, the graph engine, is Apache-2.0. Zep Community Edition is deprecated. | The engine is open-source Uteke, which runs on your own machine with the same tools. |
When Zep is the better choice
- You are a team that needs access policies, audit logs and legal hold.
- You need point-in-time answers from a knowledge graph.
- You want Zep to run in your own cloud account.
When Uteke Cloud fits
- You use Claude, ChatGPT and coding agents and want them to share one memory, without writing code.
- You want your own words stored as written, and no model reading them when they are recalled.
- You want to export everything at any time, and be able to run the same engine yourself.
- You want to start alone, on a personal account, without an organization setup.
