Logseq Pricing FAQ

01 Is Logseq really free?

Yes, Logseq is completely free and open-source. The core application costs nothing and will remain free forever. The only potential costs are optional services: Logseq Sync (currently in beta, requires $5-15/month Open Collective donation) and the upcoming Logseq Pro for collaboration features.

02 How is Logseq different from Obsidian?

Both are local-first and free, but Logseq uses an outliner interface (like Roam) while Obsidian uses a document editor. Logseq is open-source and includes features like PDF annotation and Org-mode support. Obsidian has a larger plugin ecosystem and more polished mobile apps. Choose Logseq for outliner workflows and open-source, Obsidian for flexibility and customization.

03 How much does Logseq Sync cost?

Logseq Sync is currently in beta for Open Collective supporters ($5-15/month donation). Official pricing for general availability hasn't been announced. You can sync for free using iCloud, Dropbox, Git, or Syncthing if you prefer not to wait for official sync.

04 Can I use Logseq on mobile devices?

Yes, Logseq has mobile apps for both iOS and Android. The mobile experience is improving but not as polished as desktop. Syncing across devices requires either setting up free cloud storage or using the beta Logseq Sync service.

05 Is Logseq better than Roam Research?

Logseq offers similar outliner-based features to Roam but is completely free, open-source, and local-first. Roam costs $15/month and is cloud-only. Logseq adds PDF annotation and more flexibility, but Roam has a more polished interface. For most users, Logseq provides better value.

06 What is Logseq Pro and when will it be available?

Logseq Pro is an upcoming paid service offering real-time collaboration and syncing with Logseq's own storage. It's currently in testing with sponsors and backers. Pricing and general availability date haven't been announced as of early 2026.

07 How does Logseq's pricing compare to competitors?

Logseq is significantly cheaper than alternatives. The Free plan covers everything most users need. If you add the Sync plan ($5/month), it's still less expensive than Roam Research ($15/month), Obsidian Sync (reported as $8-20/month in community discussions), and Notion paid tiers. One user noted Logseq sync pricing would be 'less than half that of roam.'

08 What happens to my data if Logseq shuts down?

Your data is completely safe because Logseq stores everything locally as plain text markdown files on your device. Unlike cloud-based tools, you own your data regardless of what happens to the company. As one user noted, it's 'local-first' and 'works on top of your local folder of plain text files.'

09 Do I need to pay for Logseq Sync?

No, Logseq Sync is optional. You can sync your notes for free using iCloud, Dropbox, Google Drive, Syncthing, or Git. The paid Sync service ($5/month) offers end-to-end encrypted sync if you prefer a built-in solution. All other features remain free regardless of which sync method you choose.
