Our take
Pick Logseq if students and knowledge workers who will stay on the open-source app at $0 (local Markdown; Free forever for personal use) while they open a first Queries page — not teams that need a printed Sync seat (we did not find a public Sync $). Pick Notion AI if teams that already live in Notion and want draft, rewrite, and Q&A without leaving the doc. Skip Notion AI if people who only want a chat window
