Craft vs iA Writer

Our take

Pick Craft if writers who will stay on Starter at $0 (1,500 blocks / 1 GB / 25 MB / 7-day history) while they open a first All Docs grid, then Plus at $8/month ($6.4/month yearly) when they need unlimited blocks — not Family $15 unless they need 2–6 Plus seats, and not Team $50 unless they need up to 10. Pick iA Writer if writers who will run the free trial while they finish a first Focus Mode page — then Mac at

Pick iA Writer if

writers who will run the free trial while they finish a first Focus Mode page — then Mac at US$49.99 (and iPhone/iPad US$29.99 if they want that SKU), not Obsidian Sync $4 first unless they want a graph vault, and not if they need a PKM backlink graph (iA Writer is a focused page, not a wiki).
