Logseq vs Obsidian: Features, Pricing and User Reviews 2026

Logseq is completely free to use. You can download it and access all features without paying anything. The app is open-source, meaning the code is public and anyone can review it or contribute to its development.

For users who want to sync their notes across multiple devices, Logseq offers a beta sync service through their Open Collective support program. By becoming a monthly supporter with a $5 or $15 donation, you get early access to Logseq Sync, which keeps your notes updated in real-time across all your devices.

The sync service is still in beta testing, so the team is working to make it more stable. Once it launches to everyone, a regular subscription system will be available. Supporting Logseq also helps fund development and keeps the project growing with new features.

Obsidian is completely free for personal use with all core features included. You get unlimited notes, full plugin access, and complete control over your data at no cost.

For users who want to sync notes across devices, Obsidian Sync offers two plans. The Standard plan costs $4 per month when paid yearly (or $5 monthly) and includes one synced vault with 1GB storage. The Plus plan costs $8 per month yearly (or $10 monthly) with 10GB storage and unlimited vaults.

Obsidian Publish lets you share notes on the web for $8 per month yearly (or $10 monthly) per site, with custom themes and no technical knowledge needed.

The optional Commercial License costs $50 per user yearly for business use, though it became optional in 2025. For one-time supporters, the Catalyst license at $25 gives early access to beta versions and community perks.
