Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

greytHR

  • Published starting price of INR 2,495/month covers only up to 50 employees, so larger companies must move to a higher, unpublished tier
  • The platform serves 34,000+ companies and its entry tier is scoped by headcount rather than by feature set, meaning growth past 50 employees forces a plan change

Logseq

  • AGPL-3.0 licensing requires derivative works to be open-source
  • Mobile apps (iOS and Android) still in alpha/beta development stage
  • Self-hosted with local-first architecture, no built-in cloud sync option
  • No native synchronisation between desktop and mobile versions without setup
