Memgraph
Memgraph is an in-memory graph database platform for graph computations on streaming data. It supports Cypher and lists Kafka, Pulsar, and Redpanda as streaming connectors. Its free Community Edition includes ACID transactions, on-disk persistence, high-availability replication, and vector search. MAGE adds more than 60 graph algorithms, with integrations for NetworkX, igraph, and cuGraph. Memgraph Lab provides a visual interface for querying, managing, importing, and visualizing graph data; it also supports natural-language queries through GraphChat. Programmatic drivers are listed for Python, C/C++, Rust, Node.js, C#, Go, Haskell, Java, JavaScript, PHP, and Ruby. Enterprise features include role- and label-based access controls, SSO, LDAP/PAM authentication, TLS encryption in transit, audit logging, failover, replication, disaster recovery, no-downtime updates, and monitoring. Community support is available through Discord; Enterprise includes direct engineering support through a dedicated Slack channel. Memgraph Cloud is managed and hosted on AWS in six regions, with instances from 1 GB to 32 GB RAM. Community Edition is free forever. Enterprise plans have unlisted prices that scale by memory capacity or graph data capacity, depending on the edition, and the Enterprise trial lasts 30 days.
TypeDB
TypeDB is a structured hypergraph database with an enforced, schema-first model: reads and writes are validated against the schema. Its TypeQL query language is declarative, functional, and strongly typed. Relations can link any number of entities or attributes, and can link to other relations. TypeDB is presented for agentic systems, cyber threat intelligence, knowledge graphs, financial intelligence, and robotics; it also lists vector search and ACID transactions. Platforms include API, Linux, macOS, self-hosted, web, and Windows. Official drivers are listed for Python, TypeScript HTTP, Rust, Java, C, and C#, with C++ marked as planned. The free Explore plan costs nothing and includes a fully managed dedicated database server with 10 GB storage, 8 GB RAM, and 2 vCPUs. Launch costs $0.07 a month, billed from $0.07 per hour. Enterprise has custom pricing and supports on-premises or customer-cloud deployment, including air-gapped environments.
