Our take
Pick Anytype if local-first writers who will stay on Free (100MB) while they open a first Any Possibilities Channel, then Plus at $4/month — not Pro $8 unless they need that printed tier, and not Ultra $16 unless they need the top card. Pick Obsidian if individual writers who will stay on the $0 app while they open a first Bases table, then Sync at $4/user/month yearly ($5 monthly) when they want encrypted vaults on
