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. Craft counters with Beautiful native Apple design and Nested documents and folders.
Amplenote's Achilles heel: the task scoring system has a learning curve, and the ui feels dense until you customize it. Craft's: apple ecosystem only — windows and android users are second-class citizens at best. 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 apple users who want matters more, Craft is your pick. Neither is a bad choice — but one will fit your workflow better.
