About Joplin
Joplin is an open-source note-taking app with end-to-end encrypted sync through the service of your choice — Dropbox, OneDrive, Nextcloud or Joplin Cloud. Notes are Markdown, imports from Evernote are painless, and clients exist for every platform.
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.
