Okay I know there’s been tons of these comparisons but hear me out 😅
I’m a freelance writer and I need something for:
- Client project notes
- My own article drafts
- Some personal life stuff
I’ve tried Notion before and it felt… slow? Like everything takes too many clicks.
Someone recommended Craft and it looks gorgeous but I’m worried about:
- Is it stable enough for real work?
- What if they go out of business?
- Can I export my data easily?
Thoughts??
I’ve used all three. Here’s the deal:
Notion – Good for teams, bad for personal use. Too slow, too much clutter. The free tier is limited.
Obsidian – Amazing for personal knowledge management. The local-first approach is great for privacy. But sharing is painful.
Craft – The most beautiful. But I’m worried about vendor lock-in. What if they shut down?
My setup: Notion for team stuff, Obsidian for personal. Worth the switch? Only if Notion frustrates you.
