The Real Difference
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. Notion counters with All-in-one workspace and Database views.
Capacities's Achilles heel: young product with missing features — no api, limited integrations, and collaboration is early-stage. Notion's: gets slow with large databases and complex setups. Pick whichever weakness you can live with.
Bottom Line
If you value object-based note system and visual thinkers who want, go with Capacities. If teams that want docs, matters more, Notion is your pick. Neither is a bad choice — but one will fit your workflow better.
