A memory-first platform for agents that persist across sessions
Who should use this?
Long-running stateful agents and Editable agent memory.
Who should avoid it?
Sensitive memory without deletion controls, Simple stateless assistants
What problem does it solve?
Letta gives agents editable persistent memory, but memory quality, deletion, model data paths, and long-running costs need controlled testing.
Would I recommend it?
Letta earns a shortlist for teams that genuinely need persistent agents and can govern memory as sensitive application data. Start with synthetic identities, explicit memory-write rules, access isolation, corrections, and a tested export and deletion path.

Letta earns a shortlist for teams that genuinely need persistent agents and can govern memory as sensitive application data. Start with synthetic identities, explicit memory-write rules, access isolation, corrections, and a tested export and deletion path.
Create 100 synthetic users with changing preferences, contradictions, aliases, restricted facts, and deletion requests. Measure recall precision, stale-memory rate, cross-user leakage, correction success, deletion coverage, context growth, latency, and cost.

Letta's open-source server can be self-hosted without a software subscription. Cloud usage, model calls, storage, hosting, backups, and operations remain cost drivers; enterprise customers can use documented bring-your-own provider keys. Reviewed September 2, 2026.
Free plan: Yes. Open-source and local options avoid a Letta software fee, while models and infrastructure still cost money.
Its open-source server can be self-hosted without a subscription; models, storage, infrastructure, and operations still cost money.
It treats memory and context as persistent, editable agent state rather than only transient chat history.
Yes. Letta documents local and self-hosted paths as well as managed cloud.
Not automatically. Content sent to external model or tool providers follows those providers' data paths.
