About AFFiNE
AFFiNE is an open-source workspace that fuses documents, whiteboards and databases on one infinite canvas. Think Notion and Miro merged, local-first and self-hostable, with real-time collaboration.
About Notion
Notion combines documents, wikis, databases and project boards into one connected workspace. Teams use it as a single source of truth for notes, specs and planning, with powerful relational databases and a huge template ecosystem. The free plan works well for personal use; team features are paid.
