What it really isReflect — networked note-taking app with AI and end-to-end encryption.
Our takeReflect is a focused, privacy-first note-taking tool built around backlinked networked notes and a built-in AI assistant (GPT-4 + Whisper).
The price is $10/month (or $120/year), and there is no permanent free plan, only a 14-day full-access trial. It is a single-tier paid product, not freemium.
Why we rate itReflect strips away the plugin chaos of Obsidian and the bloat of Notion to deliver a genuinely fast, encrypted, AI-enhanced note graph.
The flat single-tier model means you get everything from day one — no feature-gating.
The catchNo free tier and annual billing is the only way to get the lowest rate; monthly billing works but the per-year savings push you toward upfront commitment.
No team or enterprise plan limits use beyond solo work.

Trade-offs

Friction report

Trade-offs to know before signing up.

  1. Time to value
    Fast: sign up, start the 14-day trial, and capture your first linked note in under two minutes. No plugins or configuration required.
  2. Scale breakpoint
    Breaks at team scale — no multi-user or enterprise plan means organizations cannot share or co-edit a knowledge base.
  3. Walled garden
    Moderate: notes export to Markdown, but the backlink graph and AI context are native to Reflect and don't travel with exports.
Still a fit?
If none of these block you, try it on the official site.
