Comparison
Hudu is the closest 1:1 IT Glue replacement and a genuinely good product. The one thing it can't offer: your data as portable markdown files in git that you fully own.
| Ledger | Hudu | |
|---|---|---|
| Source of truth | Markdown in your git repo | Proprietary Rails/Postgres database |
| Price | $25/editor/mo (annual) | $27/user/mo (annual), $30 monthly |
| User minimum / setup fee | None / none | None / none |
| Portable export | git clone — it's already files | API export into another DB |
| Bring your own editor | Yes — Obsidian / any editor, with two-way vault sync + an in-Obsidian plugin | Web UI |
| Passwords | Not stored — vault references | Built-in password storage |
| Self-host | Free OSS, just a git remote | Self-host available (Rails + Postgres stack) |
| AI | BYO-key included in Pro | Varies by plan |

If you want one tool that also stores passwords, Hudu does that and Ledger deliberately doesn't — we treat "no credential honeypot" as a security feature, with first-class vault linking instead. If you want your knowledge base to be files you own in git — readable in any editor, reviewed in pull requests, yours when an engagement ends — that's the line Ledger draws and Hudu can't.
