Linked notes.
Without the $15/mo.

$15/mo for bullet points? Craft gives you beautiful linked documents, offline, and AI — for less.

Which one is right for you?

Roam pioneered bi-directional linking, but at $15/mo with no free tier, no real mobile apps, no offline support, and stalled development, many users feel they're overpaying. Craft links documents beautifully with native apps everywhere — starting free.

Choose if you:

  • Fraction of the price — free tier available vs Roam's $15/mo minimum
  • Native mobile apps — Roam has no dedicated mobile experience
  • Works fully offline — Roam requires internet for everything
  • Beautiful documents with covers, media, and formatting — not just bullets
  • Active development with regular updates — not years of stagnation

Choose Roam Research if you:

  • Block-level transclusion and references are non-negotiable
  • Custom Datalog queries are core to your research workflow
  • You've built complex graphs over years that can't easily migrate
  • Daily-note-centric bullet journaling is your primary use case
