   Obsidian vs Notion Comments

   Top Positive Comment by Duplicake · Nov 17, 2024

   Just an amazing free note-taking app where you own your data. The only issue is it's not open source.

   Positive comment by NickQuason · Sep 26, 2026

   It's perfect in every way except the ability to publish and share online as a webpage.

   Positive comment by Daniel Calvo · Jun 19, 2026

   I like Obsidian better than Notion cause of the privacy

   Anytype vs Notion Comments

   Top Positive Comment by t_me · Jan 20, 2024

   Anytype has many advantages, but two are fundamentally important to me: 1) Anytype is privacy focused (only you can access your data), 2) Anytype is blazing fast and the workflow is uninterrupted. However, Anytype is still in open beta and lacks Notion's database relations and rollups. But they are on the roadmap and the devs are very active and responding to the communities needs. I have moved my second brain to Anytype and do not regret it.

   Positive comment by Mutant · Feb 9, 2025

   Anytype vs notion, notion wins. Anytype vs obsidian, anytype wins

   Positive comment by suvi967 · Nov 19, 2024

   I love it as a note-taking app. At first, it was a little confusing, but I really like it. My only problem with it, is a bit about the design of the notes, I wish I could change the size and make zoom.

   Open source and private alternative to Notion. The notes are end to end encrypted, it supports all platform, and the pricing options are not excessive. Great software!

   Simple to install and efficient. In heavy development, as of Q3 2023 there's still for improvement to reach all Notion's possibility, however at the rythm of a release every month, it should be rapidly do the job for a small team.

    It's a comprehensive tool, good for teams managing different tasks and projects. Its interface feels a bit less polished compared to Notion's.

    Quire vs Notion Comments

    Positive comment by Johnny · Dec 7, 2021

    You can create databases and also hierarchical documents just like on Notion, the only difference is that Quire is that 'everything is a task' different from the 'everything is a page' model from Notion.
