The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Letta free tier limited to 3 stateful agents; RudderStack on the free plan data processing stops after a second consecutive overage rather than being billed, so exceeding 250,000 events twice breaks the pipeline
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 30 August 2026.

Letta

  • Free tier limited to 3 stateful agents
  • Pro tier capped at 20 stateful agents
  • API Plan usage charges apply beyond base tier

RudderStack

  • On the free plan data processing stops after a second consecutive overage rather than being billed, so exceeding 250,000 events twice breaks the pipeline
  • The free plan allows 250,000 events a month
  • Growth starts at $265 a month for 1 million events, with volume sold in tiers up to 25 million
  • Overage is charged as the gap to the next tier's price rather than per event, so a small excess costs a full tier step
