StandardNotes (I compared it to SimpleNote when I tested it months ago):

  • Doesn't support markdown without $ - simplenote does
  • Doesn't support checkboxes without $ - simplenote does
  • Doesn't even allow rich text without paying
  • $119/year subscription
  • Simplenote syncs faster

It calls itself FOSS but really, most of the important functionality is paid-only.

I have to agree. I considered Standard Notes but I would have to pay for super notes in order to use images, even if I self-host. Same for code blocks, organizing notes into folders, spreadsheets, web clipper. Have to get the most expensive plan for offline access and being able to have local backups, although it is discounted if you self-host completely but why still pay a sub at that point? I would rather pay once and then be able to self-host using their super notes without paying more every month.

I liked Obsidian but wanted encryption that works on my android so I went with Joplin.

Obsidian does offer end to end encryption as well, but you need to pay for their Sync offering. They have a good deal on it right now but I don’t need encryption so I just use the basic icloud functionality which works pretty well on iPhone, iPad and Windows. https://help.obsidian.md/Obsidian+Sync/Security+and+privacy
