The usual story: you write the Q4 plan in Obsidian, the team needs to see it, so you paste it into Notion. The tables mostly survive, the callouts turn into plain text, and from the first comment the team works in the Notion copy. Two months later your vault holds a stale draft and the real plan lives in a tool you pay for per seat. Sometimes that is the right outcome. Often it is just the path of least resistance.
Different tools for different jobs
Notion is a team workspace: documents, wikis, databases, project boards, forms and AI, shared by everyone in the company. It works best when the team agrees to live in it.
myone.page is a free Obsidian plugin that shares one note at a time. The note renders as a styled one-page report, the people you list edit it in the browser, and their edits come back into the note in your vault. Nothing moves out of Obsidian. For a public site of your notes rather than a page for a few people, see Obsidian Publish alternatives.

What Notion does well
- Real collaboration. Several people typing on one page at once, inline comments, mentions, page history.
- Structure beyond documents. Databases with views, project boards, wikis, forms, calendars, all linked.
- One place for a team. New hires find everything in one workspace, with permissions by teamspace.
- Free guests. People outside the company can join specific pages without a paid seat.
If your team already runs on Notion, or is choosing a shared workspace now, Notion is a strong choice and myone.page does not try to replace it.
Where Notion is a poor fit for Obsidian users
- Your writing moves out of your vault. Once the team works in the Notion copy, the note you wrote is a draft. Links from your other notes point to the stale version, and an assistant that reads your vault reads the old plan.
- Formatting is lost on the way. Callouts, wikilinks, embeds and Dataview do not come across as they look in Obsidian, and you spend time fixing the copy.
- Per-seat pricing for writers. Guests are free, but anyone who needs to be a full member is a paid seat on a paid plan.
- Everything is readable by the service. Fine for most documents; a consideration for board materials, investor updates and anything sensitive.
Where myone.page is narrower
- One note at a time. No workspace, no wiki, no databases, no project boards.
- Less live collaboration. There are no live cursors, comments or mentions yet. Each save carries the version it started from, and a save made over someone else's is refused instead of overwriting it.
- Obsidian must run somewhere for web edits to reach your note: the plugin fetches them every 60 seconds while Obsidian is open on one of your devices. Edits made while it is closed wait on the server.
- A fixed page format. Markdown with a few callouts, rendered as a one-page report in seven themes. Not a free-form canvas. For designed decks, see myone.page vs Gamma.
- Early access. It is a young product, and says so; see who builds it and how.
The same task in each
Say the Q4 plan is finished in Obsidian and four people need to read it, two of whom should edit their sections.
In Notion, you paste or import the note into a page, fix the callouts and anything else that did not convert, and invite the four people as members or guests. They edit and comment in Notion. From then on, the plan lives in Notion; if you want it back in your vault, you export it or copy the changes by hand.
In myone.page, you click share on the note and add two emails to editors: and two to viewers:. They open the link, sign in, and the two editors type into their sections in the browser. Their changes appear in your note within about a minute. The plan never left your vault.
Who each suits better
Choose Notion if
- the whole team will work in it every day;
- you need databases, boards and a wiki, not just pages;
- live co-editing and comments matter more than where the file lives;
- you are fine with documents living in Notion from now on.
Choose myone.page if
- you think and write in Obsidian and want to keep doing that;
- you need a few people to read or edit specific pages, not join a workspace;
- you want their edits in your vault, not in a copy;
- the content is sensitive and you want it end-to-end encrypted.
Plenty of teams use both: the company wiki in Notion, and the plan, board pre-read or investor update written in Obsidian and shared as a page. Install the free plugin, or see the other options in how to share an Obsidian note.
