When to stay with Letta
Documented strengths from our Letta review — switching isn't always the right call:
- Persistent memory is the core architecture rather than a bolted-on context window trick
- The free tier runs on your own API keys, including existing coding-plan subscriptions, so evaluation costs nothing extra
- Apache-2.0 licence on the core with a documented self-hosting path — no licence negotiation required
