Different audience

A general app memory platform can make sense when you are adding memory to an AI product you are building for users.

Where Palace fits

Palace targets internal engineering work: agent sessions, codebase conventions, prior fixes, project decisions, and shared team recall.

Decision point

Choose Palace when the memory needs to be private, source-grounded, MCP-accessible, and owned by the engineering team.
