Supermemory is a hosted memory engine for agents and the apps you build. Wordcell keeps your memory in Markdown files you own.
Both give agents a memory. They differ in where it lives, how it forms, who owns the files, and what it costs.
Supermemory’s features and prices were checked on September 26, 2026.
How they differ
Each Supermemory entry links the page it comes from.
| Topic | Supermemory | Wordcell |
|---|---|---|
| Where memory lives | A hosted API. Supermemory local runs the same engine on your machine with a model you provide. | Markdown files in a folder you choose, usually a Git repository you already have. |
| How memories form | It extracts facts and user profiles from the content you send. | You or your agent write notes and typed relations, and you review them in Git like code. |
| Whose memory | Container tags isolate each user’s memories, and API keys can be limited to chosen tags. | One person’s or one team’s vault. It does not store memory for the users of your product. |
| Cost | Supermemory local is free and open source, without connectors or the Supermemory MCP. Hosted plans run from $0 a month to $399 a month, plus the usage rates below, checked September 26, 2026; Enterprise pricing is custom. | Free and MIT licensed. Reranking is optional; it sends the query and each candidate’s title, path, and up to 512 bytes of its snippet to a paid provider. |
| Connectors | Connectors sync sources such as Google Drive, Gmail, Notion, and GitHub. | No sync service. wordcell clip saves web pages, and the migration guide has recipes for other sources. |
| Compliance | Its security page lists SOC 2 Type II and a HIPAA business associate agreement on some plans. | No hosted memory store. Notes stay on your disk and with the Git host you choose, and publishing sends only the notes you select. |
| Agent access | A hosted MCP server, after an OAuth sign-in. | wordcell mcp serves a vault to local MCP clients. It is available from source until the next release. |
Which to choose
The deciding question is whose memory you keep, and whether you want the files themselves to be that memory.
Choose Supermemory when
- You build a product that stores memory for many users.
- You want connectors, fact extraction, and user profiles to run for you.
- You need SOC 2 Type II or a HIPAA business associate agreement from the memory provider.
- You want one hosted memory shared across ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and other clients through its MCP server or plugins, without running anything locally.
Choose Wordcell when
- Your agents keep memory about your own work, and you want it in files you can read, edit, and diff.
- You want every memory change reviewed in Git, like code.
- You want memory as plain files, with no hosted service, no account, and no usage bill.

Evidence
Wordcell has published no head-to-head comparison with Supermemory of retrieval quality or speed.
The Oh memory kernel that Wordcell embeds published a 60-question pilot that includes Supermemory. It is Oh’s result, not Wordcell’s, and it does not separate Oh from Supermemory. The benchmarks page shows it with its limits.
