Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Logseq at Free against GTW's $5.99. Logseq also leads on rating (4.4 vs 3.1) and ratings volume (252 vs 32). GTW's advantage is chart position (#174 vs unranked) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 14.0). On review sentiment, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Logseq is free to download; GTW costs $5.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Logseq holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Logseq has 252 ratings behind it against 32, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 55% of GTW's written reviews are positive against 59% of Logseq's.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
