Amplenote vs Logseq

Amplenote combines notes, tasks, and calendar scheduling in four modes: Jots, Notes, Tasks, and Calendar. It is available through web, Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android, Chrome extension, and API access, with offline use. Users can share notes and collaborate in real time. Tasks can be placed on Amplenote’s calendar and, on Pro or higher, synchronized with Google, Outlook, or Apple calendars. Integrations also include Siri Shortcuts, IFTTT, Pipedream, and Google Drive. The service follows a freemium model with a free plan and 15-day trial. Personal is for non-commercial use and limits uploads to 5 MB; Pro permits larger uploads and unlimited devices, while Unlimited and Founder also list unlimited devices. Native desktop apps require Pro, Unlimited, or Founder, although downloadable PWAs are supported. Standard notes are not end-to-end encrypted by default, and attachments are not encrypted, including with Vault Notes.

Logseq is a free, open-source platform for knowledge management and collaboration, with tools for notes, tasks, and PDF annotation. It supports Markdown and Org-mode files, and connects information through block references, backlinks, linked references, and queries. Logseq supports note sharing and real-time collaboration, and lists Zotero as an integration. The product says users keep their data locally and can work fully on-device; offline access is listed. It is available on web, Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android. A plugin and theme ecosystem extends the app, with the homepage listing more than 150 plugins and at least 30 themes. Logseq Sync provides encrypted file syncing across devices. Its public-beta Sync service does not support multiple people using the same graph at once, and the maker warns that data loss can occur. The database version is in beta, while the new mobile app and real-time collaboration features are in alpha; the maker also warns of possible data loss for these. Personal use is free forever. Sync Backer costs $5 a month and Sync Sponsor costs $15 a month, each described as a monthly recurring donation.
