Choose 1Panel if…
- 1Panel is primarily Go; cortex-memory is TypeScript.
- License: 1Panel is GPL-3.0, cortex-memory is MIT.
- Requirements: Min 1 GB RAM; Linux VPS required (Debian / Ubuntu / CentOS / Rocky).
- Tags unique to 1Panel: linux, openclaw, docker, agent.
- Also covers AI Agents.
- - You require native support for running Ollama models directly through your VPS control panel.
When NOT to use 1Panel
- - If you do not need or want the specific features of Ollama models and OpenClaw agents support and prefer a more generalized VPS management platform.
- - For environments where existing tools already sufficiently manage your server stacks without requiring integration of AI agent functionalities.
Choose cortex-memory if…
- cortex-memory is primarily TypeScript; 1Panel is Go.
- License: cortex-memory is MIT, 1Panel is GPL-3.0.
- Tags unique to cortex-memory: ai, ai-coding-assistant, copilot, ai-memory.
When NOT to use cortex-memory
- Last GitHub push was 108 days ago (slowing maintenance, Mar 25, 2026). Validate activity before betting a new project on cortex-memory.
- Developer Tools: A gateway is overkill when you're pinned to a single provider and model.
