Your company brain.
Hosted for you.
Shared context for your team’s agents, with the hosting and backups handled. Compare PriBrain with running open-source gbrain yourself.
Two ways to give
agents a memory.
gbrain provides persistent memory for AI agents. gstack provides software development workflows and can use gbrain to carry context between sessions. This comparison covers self-hosted gbrain, with or without gstack.
gbrain also offers a hosted service at gbrain.io. That is a separate option; the operating responsibilities below apply to self-hosting.
| Consideration | PriBrainManaged service | gbrainSelf-hosted, optionally with gstack |
|---|---|---|
| Getting started | Connect company tools, define access, and connect your MCP-compatible agents. | Automated setup is available through gstack. For a shared deployment, configure the database, remote access, and client credentials. |
| Ongoing upkeep | PriBrain operates the hosted service. Daily brain backups are included and retained for seven days. | Your team operates the service, applies upgrades, and arranges database backups. Setup and diagnostic tools help with that work. |
| Access controls | Restrict access to context and connected tools by user, role, and team. | Supports scoped access for remote clients. You configure source permissions, read/write grants, and client credentials for your team. |
| Agent connections | MCP-compatible agents and apps retrieve and store shared company context. | MCP supports local and remote clients. gstack is optional; gbrain can serve other compatible agents too. |
| Hosting | EU-based and EU-hosted, with encrypted memory. | You choose where the instance runs and which optional model providers it uses. |
| Source code | Proprietary software, provided as a hosted service. PriBrain is not open source. | MIT-licensed source code you can inspect, modify, and run yourself. |
| Cost | €500 per month for up to 50 users, excluding VAT. Your PriBrain bill scales with users, not AI or brain usage. Larger teams on request. See what’s included → | No software licence fee. Infrastructure and optional paid model costs can rise with usage. Your team also covers setup and ongoing maintenance. gbrain project and requirements ↗ |
