In their own words
Sparksee
Sparksee is an embeddable graph database for applications that need to represent and analyse relationships among entities. It works against a database file from within an application process, so there is no cluster or query server to provision. The maker describes its compact bitmap-based representation as suited to graph computations in mobile and embedded environments. Built-in algorithms cover traversal, shortest paths, connectivity, community detection, and PageRank. Its API supports importing and exporting graph data, scripting, and Sparksee Cypher queries; Sparksee Algebra is also listed. API references cover.NET, Java, C++, Objective-C, Python, and openCypher. Sparksee supports ACID transactions, disk-level encryption, and recovery after database corruption. Keeping data on a user's device can support privacy-preserving apps and reduce reliance on cloud connectivity. Platforms include Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, and Windows, with API and self-hosted options. Eligible academic users can apply for a free licence; commercial licence pricing is on request.
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.
