The Verdict
Fibery is built for product teams and startups, with a focus on custom-databases and bi-directional-relations. Obsidian targets researchers and writers and leads with markdown and backlinks.
On pricing, Obsidian is the clear winner for budget-conscious users — starting at $4/mo compared to $10/mo for Fibery. That $6/mo difference adds up quickly for growing teams.
Both offer free plans, so you can test each with your real workflow before committing to a subscription.
Feature-wise, Fibery offers broader built-in capabilities (7 features vs 6), while Obsidian takes a more focused approach — which can mean a simpler, faster onboarding experience.
Bottom line: Obsidian has a slight overall edge — but if highly flexible with custom entity types and relations matters most to you, Fibery may still be the right call.
