Compare the Top Graph Databases as of April 2025

What are Graph Databases?

Graph databases are specialized databases designed to store, manage, and query data that is represented as graphs. Unlike traditional relational databases that use tables to store data, graph databases use nodes, edges, and properties to represent and store data. Nodes represent entities (such as people, products, or locations), edges represent relationships between entities, and properties store information about nodes and edges. Graph databases are particularly well-suited for applications that involve complex relationships and interconnected data, such as social networks, recommendation engines, fraud detection, and network analysis. Compare and read user reviews of the best Graph Databases currently available using the table below. This list is updated regularly.
