Pick Obsidian if…
Obsidian suits people who want local, offline notes and a customizable knowledge-work app. Teams can use shared vaults, while Sync and Publish are paid options for syncing or hosting notes.
Pick UpNote if…
UpNote suits personal note-takers who need offline access across phones, computers, and a browser extension. It is less suitable for users requiring live, simultaneous collaboration.
