Craft Overview
If you want beautiful documents without the complexity of Notion, Craft is worth the affordable Plus tier. Free tier works for light use (10 docs, 15 AI credits). Best on Apple devices - Windows/web apps exist but the Mac/iOS experience is superior. Craft 3 added basic database tables via Collections; skip if you need full Notion-style databases with kanban boards and complex formulas (per [Craft's product page](https://www.craft.do/features), accessed May 2026).
Best For:
- Beautiful docs for writers & teams
- Apple ecosystem users wanting native macOS/iOS experience
- Teams needing simple real-time document collaboration
- Individuals creating structured notes and personal wikis
- Students and educators (free Education plan)
- Professionals creating client-facing documents with custom branding
- Users who prioritize speed and app performance
- Those seeking simpler alternative to Notion for document work
Document360 Overview
If you're building serious documentation (API docs, user manuals, knowledge bases), Document360 is hard to beat. The AI writing tools save real time, the multilingual support works across 50+ languages, and the platform scales from small teams to enterprise. But the lack of transparent pricing and discontinued free tier are real barriers for smaller teams.
Best For:
- Teams building API docs and manuals
- Companies needing both internal wikis and external help centers
- Mid-sized to enterprise teams requiring advanced security (SSO, audit logs)
- Organizations with multilingual documentation needs (50+ languages)
- Teams looking to reduce support tickets through self-service documentation
The Verdict
Craft is our top pick for most users, thanks to its overall value proposition.
