# MemCachier

Canonical: https://inetgeek.com/caching/memcachier/

Fully managed Memcached, billed on a fixed monthly tier by cache size rather than metered usage.

## Who it suits

Teams that specifically want Memcached's simpler protocol rather than Redis's data structures, and prefer a flat monthly price over metered billing.

Consider something else if Durability matters — Memcached is inherently in-memory-only by design, unlike some Redis-compatible competitors in this category that offer disk persistence.
