Mem
AI-organised notes.
What it is
Mem has moved from a notes app to an AI agent that reads what you save, tracks tasks and projects out of it and checks in on a schedule, and the pricing reflects that shift completely: instead of a seat price you buy a capacity ladder. Every tier is defined by the same five meters — messages to the agent, new notes per month, notes reviewed for task detection, open tasks and projects held at once, and hours of voice capture — multiplied step by step from Free up to a twentyfold plan. That makes the free tier unusually tight for a notes tool, at twenty-five new notes a month.

Strengths and trade-offs
What works well
- Seven published tiers, so capacity can be matched closely
- Extra capacity sold as a fixed monthly block, not a quote
- Voice capture allowance included at every level
Where it falls short
- Free tier caps new notes at 25 a month
- Every meaningful action is metered
- Custom routines and connections only start on Pro
Who it is for
Solo founders, consultants and managers who want an agent watching their notes.
Pick it or skip it
Pick Mem if
- Trying the agent idea cheaply: Free covers 25 notes and 25 messages a month with 3 hours of voice capture
- Light everyday use — Plus at $9 a month doubles the free allowances to 50 notes and 10 hours of voice
- Anyone who wants scheduled routines and a Gmail, Slack or Todoist connection, which start on Pro at $29 a month
- Heavy users who would rather buy a bigger step than negotiate: the ladder runs to $199 a month at twenty times Pro capacity
Skip it if
- You take a lot of notes: the free plan allows 25 new notes a month, which is under one a day
- You want unmetered AI — messages to the agent are capped at every tier, from 25 up to 2,000 a month
- You need several integrations on a budget: connections start at one on the $29 plan
- You share work with a team; the published ladder is built around individual capacity, not seats
Our verdict
Pick the tier by your note volume, not by features — the ladder is the same product at different capacities. If you write more than a note a day, the free plan will not hold you.
