Craft vs Notejoy (2026): which should you pick?

Pick Craft if

• Fits if you share docs, like a trip plan or a proposal, as a web page with a link
• Works for families who want one flat price for up to 6 people, or teams of 3 to 99 paying per head

Look elsewhere if

• Tight if you're staying free, because 1,500 blocks goes quickly when every paragraph counts
• Pricey if it's only you, at $96 a year or $10 a month when plenty of notes apps cost nothing
• Not for you if you're on Linux, or want calendar and Reminders hook-ups off Apple devices
• Pricey if there are only two of you, as Team bills at least 3 members, $180 a year, and stops at 99
• Watch out: offline can't create docs, search or use AI, prices vary by country, and its pages disagree on Plus storage

Pick Notejoy if

• Fits if a small team wants one shared notebook for meeting notes
• Works for schools and nonprofits buying several seats

Look elsewhere if

• Tight if you stay free: 5 notebooks, 10MB per file and 100MB of storage
• Skip it if you need offline access or note history, which are paid only
• Watch out: end-to-end encryption, including attachments, is on a premium plan, so check which
• Not for you if you want to share on Solo, as it allows one user per library

Craft

• The free Starter plan stops at 1,500 content blocks, 1 GB of storage and 25 MB per file.
• Shared spaces come with the Family bundle, capped at 6 accounts, and the Team plan, which needs at least 3 paid members.
• Offline use covers documents opened earlier; creating documents, search and the AI assistant need a connection.
• Prices are set per country in local currency, so the amount shown on the pricing page varies by region.

Notejoy

• The free plan stops at 5 notebooks and 100MB of library storage per library.
• Offline access, note history and end-to-end encryption are on paid plans only.
• The Solo plan allows only one user per library, so it cannot be used to share notes.
• The security page says full end-to-end encryption, including attachments, comes with a premium plan, so check which plan covers it.

Craft

Block-based documents

Documents combine styled text, headings, lists and tables in blocks, and can be shared or published to the web.

Tasks, daily notes and calendar

Tasks sit inside documents and daily notes, with a calendar view. On Mac, iPhone and iPad, system calendar events appear alongside them.

Whiteboards and Collections

Whiteboards provide a visual canvas, and Collections add structured tracking with rich data to a document.

Craft Assistant

AI help for writing and editing, metered in credits: 15 on the Starter plan and 50 per month on Plus.

Offline editing

Documents opened earlier can be read and edited without a connection and sync on reconnect. Mac and iOS sync in the background; elsewhere it must be enabled in settings.

A REST API and MCP server are included in all plans. A browser extension clips web pages, and emails can be forwarded into a space.
