AppFlowy review

AppFlowy is an open-source workspace built to feel familiar to Notion users, with pages, databases and project views, and it can run on AppFlowy Cloud or on your own servers. The free Personal plan is meant for personal productivity: one workspace owner, 100 MB of storage, 7 MB file uploads, 1 form, 1 chart and 7 days of version history. Pro costs $12 per member a month billed yearly or $16 monthly and adds unlimited members charged per member, free guest editors, a timeline with dependencies, dashboards, custom team spaces, permission groups, unlimited storage and 90 days of history. AI features include meeting notes, transcripts and AI search, with a local AI option. Each workspace is billed on its own, so two Pro workspaces mean two payments. The small free storage cap means most teams will need Pro or self-hosting. We compared documented features and published prices.
