Kùzu is described as 'Embeddable property graph database management system built for query speed and scalability. Implements Cypher' and is an app. There are four alternatives to Kùzu for a variety of platforms, including Linux, Self-Hosted, Mac, Windows and Rust apps. The best Kùzu alternative is neo4j, which is both free and Open Source. Other great apps like Kùzu are ArcadeDB, FalkorDB and Grafeo.

One DBMS that supports SQL, Cypher, Gremlin, HTTP/JSON, MongoDB and Redis. ArcadeDB is a conceptual fork of OrientDB, the first Multi-Model DBMS. ArcadeDB supports Vector Embeddings.




A super fast Graph Database uses GraphBLAS under the hood for its sparse adjacency matrix graph representation. Our goal is to provide the best Knowledge Graph for LLM (GraphRAG).

Grafeo is a pure-Rust, high-performance graph database that can be embedded as a library or run as a standalone database, with optional in-memory or persistent storage. Grafeo supports both LPG and RDF and all major query languages.
