The bottom line

Craft is the more beautiful, faster writing experience and it exports cleanly; Notion is the more powerful all-in-one with databases and deeper collaboration. If you write a lot of documents and value polish (especially on Apple devices), Craft is a joy. If you need databases and team wikis, Notion has far more depth.

Craft vs Notion: our take

Notion takes the higher SoftwareScore, 73 to 67. That's a real but not decisive edge.

Craft pulls ahead on Ease and Ownership (Ease 8 vs 6), which makes it the stronger pick for heavy multi-device use.

Notion pulls ahead on Collab and Features (Collab 10 vs 6), which makes it the stronger pick for teams.

The clearest divide is Collab (Craft 6, Notion 10). If that axis is central to how you work, let it settle the choice.

On price they're close: Craft is Free · $8/mo and Notion is Free · $10/mo, so cost is unlikely to decide it.
