Obsidian if you want local-first and a serious PKM. Craft if you want something beautiful and fast.
What each does better

My verdict
Obsidian if you want local-first and a serious PKM. Craft if you want something beautiful and fast.

No pricing sheet on my side: I do not use it day to day, so I do not put a price on it here.
