Standard Notes vs Zettlr

Differences between Standard Notes (SN) & Zettlr (Z)

Along with Libre Office, which is classic office software, I use SN and Z for note-taking.

Z > SN
(Key features of Z which SN doesn't provide)

• Internal note links > Great for Personal Knowledge Management (PKM) ("building your own wiki")
• Zotero Citation Management > Great for academic writing
• Export to PDF / ODT > East to print and great for academic writing
• All notes are created as files, and Z interacts directly with your folder system.
• Free (although I support Z via Patreon)

SN > Z

• mobile app and cross-platform sync > notes on the go
• better for on-the-go note-taking and teaching
• more focus on privacy, total encryption
• easiest to "plug-and-play", as Z takes more tinkering to set up
• Various editors available, Z is all mark-down.
• direct publishing to blog at https://listed.to
• Minimum 2.5 dollars a month for all features
