The Real Difference
Both offer free tiers, so the real question is what you get when you start paying.
Amplenote stands out with Notes, tasks, and calendar unified in one app and Task scoring system that auto-prioritizes your to-do list. Capacities counters with Object-based note system and Daily notes and journals.
Amplenote's Achilles heel: the task scoring system has a learning curve, and the ui feels dense until you customize it. Capacities's: young product with missing features — no api, limited integrations, and collaboration is early-stage. Pick whichever weakness you can live with.
Bottom Line
If you value notes, tasks, and calendar unified in one app and people who are tired, go with Amplenote. If visual thinkers who want matters more, Capacities is your pick. Neither is a bad choice — but one will fit your workflow better.
