01/Why Synap

## Why Teams Choose Maximem Synap Over Supermemory

### The accuracy gap is measurable and reproducible.

On the same LongMemEval harness, Synap scored 92% and Supermemory scored 71.3% — a 20.7-point difference, measured with the same hardware, same conversations, same scoring. The eval harness is open-source. Anyone can verify these numbers.

### Latency is a different order of magnitude.

Supermemory runs at 220ms P50. Synap runs at 15ms P50. For voice agents inside a 300ms total budget, Supermemory consumes the entire budget before the LLM generates a single token. Synap leaves 285ms for the rest of the pipeline.

### Per-agent customization versus universal pipeline.

Supermemory applies the same pipeline to every agent and every domain. Synap builds a custom context architecture per agent via YAML configuration. A customer support agent extracts different knowledge than a sales assistant, and their pipelines reflect that.

### Context sharing across agent swarms.

Supermemory is single-agent focused with user-level scoping. If you are building a system where multiple agents serve the same customer, or where organizational knowledge needs to be accessible across agents while keeping individual user memories private, Supermemory does not have a native path for that. Synap's nested scope chain and native context sharing handle these patterns architecturally.

### Where Supermemory has the edge.

Supermemory is SOC 2 and HIPAA certified, which matters for regulated industries. It offers TypeScript and Python SDKs, a self-hostable open-source version, and explicit contradiction detection and resolution. Supermemory's combined RAG-plus-memory approach means you do not need a separate retrieval pipeline for document search and memory search. If compliance certifications are a hard requirement today, Supermemory is further along on that front.

Benchmark note: LongMemEval scores were measured on Synap's standardized harness. Same hardware, same prompts, same conversations, same scoring. The eval harness is open-source.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### Is Maximem Synap a Supermemory alternative?

Yes, for agentic workloads. On the same LongMemEval harness Synap scored 92% versus Supermemory's 71.3%, at 15ms P50 retrieval latency versus 220ms. Synap is purpose-built for multi-agent context management with nested scope isolation; Supermemory is single-agent focused with user-level scoping.

### Does Synap replace a RAG pipeline like Supermemory's combined approach?

Synap focuses on agentic context management (conversations, entity resolution, temporal awareness, scope isolation). If you need combined RAG-plus-memory over mixed document and conversation content, Supermemory bundles both. If you need verified-accuracy (92% LongMemEval, 93.2% LoCoMo), low-latency context for multi-agent systems, Synap is the better fit.

### Is Synap SOC 2 or HIPAA certified?

Synap is built with enterprise-grade security (encryption at rest, strict data isolation, compliance-ready architecture) and offers enterprise deployment options. For current certification status, contact gaurav@maximem.ai.
