Our Verdict

Notion for most users

Choose Notion if:

—You want databases, wikis, and project management in one workspace

—You want a flexible, customizable all-in-one tool

Choose Craft if:

—You're in the Apple ecosystem and value native performance
—You primarily write documents and want a beautiful editor
—You prefer a simpler, faster tool over maximum flexibility

The biggest difference: Notion has powerful databases with custom views and project management; Craft is a native Apple app focused on beautiful document creation with fast performance
