FalkorDBPartial

A super fast Graph Database uses GraphBLAS under the hood for its sparse adjacency matrix graph representation. Our goal is to provide the best Knowledge Graph for LLM (GraphRAG).

Runs a subset of OpenCypher through the Redis protocol and its own clients, not over Bolt, so Neo4j drivers and procedures do not carry over.

Apache AGEPartial

Graph database optimized for fast analysis and real-time data processing. It is provided as an extension to PostgreSQL.

Runs openCypher inside PostgreSQL through SQL; there is no Bolt endpoint, so Neo4j drivers do not connect.

MemgraphPartial

High-performance open-source in-memory graph database for GraphRAG, AI memory, agentic AI, and real-time graph analytics. Cypher-compatible, built in C++.

Speaks Bolt and Cypher, so Neo4j drivers connect; the Cypher dialect differs in places and APOC and GDS procedures are only partly covered.
