ActivityInfo vs Memento Database

ActivityInfo is information-management software for partner reporting, monitoring and evaluation, impact measurement, cash voucher assistance, and case management in humanitarian aid, emergencies, and international development. It supports online and offline collection, mobile data capture, collection links, multilingual forms, and validation rules. A no-code relational database builder adds calculated fields, deduplication and merging, record history, and audit logs. Dashboards, maps, pivot tables, charts, and a report designer support analysis. Connections include Power BI, Tableau, ArcGIS, QGIS, Python, R, REST APIs, and webhooks; an MCP server can connect Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini to databases. Buyers can use hosted SaaS or self-managed deployment. Permissions can be set by folder, form, subform, or record, with single sign-on through Azure Active Directory, Google Workspace, and Okta. ActivityInfo is paid from €545 a year, offers a 30-day trial, and has no free plan. Android, web, API, Linux, Windows, and self-hosted access are listed.

Memento Database is a customizable database app for organizing information and building app-like solutions without coding. Users can create libraries with more than 30 field types, calculated fields, and one-to-one, one-to-many, or many-to-many relationships. Records can appear in List, Table, Cards, Map, or Calendar views, and users can make charts or export to PDF and CSV. Automation uses visual rules or JavaScript, while JavaScript data sources can connect to APIs and web services. Memento also supports Zapier and offers a Cloud API for custom integrations. Web Forms accept browser submissions, with access controlled by public links, passwords, or user restrictions. Memento Cloud supports team synchronization, user groups, and granular permissions. Android and iOS apps work offline and sync changes after reconnecting; desktop apps need internet to use cloud libraries. The free plan is free, billed forever, with 100 MB of cloud storage, three libraries, unlimited entries, and 200 AI credits. Pro is $8 a month; Business is $14 a month per user. SQL queries support SELECT read operations only; INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE are not supported.
