Obsidian gives the application away without limits and keeps your notes as local plain-text files: no sign-up, no block cap. Its paid products are optional services - Sync at $4 per user per month billed annually and Publish at $8 per site per month - plus a $50 per user per year commercial licence.

Choose Obsidian when you want files you own and plugins you control. Choose Craft when you want a polished app that works the same way on every device without configuration.
Craft sells a beautiful, native writing and document experience with a hard block ceiling on the free plan: Starter gives you 1,500 blocks, 1 GB of storage, 15 AI credits and 7 days of version history. Plus at $8/month (or $6.40/month billed yearly) removes the limits and adds 50 AI credits a month. Notion sells a flexible workspace where the free plan is genuinely free for individuals and Plus is $10 per member per month, but its AI is metered separately at $10 per 1,000 credits. Choose Craft when the document is the product and you want it to feel native on Mac and iOS. Choose Notion when you need databases, shared team structure and pages that other people work inside every day.
