Der wahre Unterschied
Both offer free tiers, so the real question is what you get when you start paying.
Capacities stands out with Object-based note system and Daily notes and journals. Obsidian counters with Local-first markdown files and Bidirectional linking.
Capacities's Achilles heel: young product with missing features — no api, limited integrations, and collaboration is early-stage. Obsidian's: no real-time collaboration — syncing across devices requires paid add-on or diy solution. Pick whichever weakness you can live with.
Fazit
If you value object-based note system and visuelle denker, die notions, go with Capacities. If power-user und developer, die matters more, Obsidian is your pick. Neither is a bad choice — but one will fit your workflow better.
