Two note taking apps. Two very different ideas about what a note should look like.
Craft treats every page like a small published document.
OneNote treats every page like an infinite sheet of paper.
That single choice shapes how you create notes in each one.
It also shapes which team, which company and which workflow each app fits.
Visão geral
This Craft vs Microsoft OneNote comparison covers pricing, core features and ease of use.
Our writers use both apps for reunião notes and drafting.
Those observations sit in the “What Our Team Noticed” sections below.
Everything else comes from published documentation, pricing pages and Microsoft support articles.
By the end you will know which app fits your notes.
O que é artesanato?
Craft is a note taking app built around beautiful documents.
You write in blocks, then style the page to match your vision.
Every document can be shared as a clean web page.
The app adds daily notes, backlinks and a calendar view.
Most people pick it because writing in it simply feels good.
🏆 Vencedor: Artesanato
Craft turns rough notes into documents you are happy to send. The free plan is enough to test the whole writing flow.
Preços de artesanato
Here is what Craft costs in 2026. Three tiers, no hidden math.
| Plano | Preço | Ideal para |
|---|---|---|
| Livre | $ 0 por mês | Testing the editor and daily notes |
| Pessoal | US$ 4,79 por mês | Solo writers who need unlimited documents |

Preços verificados em julho de 2026.
Teste grátis: The Free plan acts as the trial. No card needed to create an account.
Garantia de reembolso: Craft bills monthly, so you can cancel before the next charge.
📌 Observação: The Personal plan at $4.79 per month is the cheapest paid plan across both apps in this comparison. Friends & Family at $8.99 per month covers a shared workspace rather than one seat.
⚠️ Aviso: Verify the current tier before proceeding to checkout. Craft moves features between Free and Personal from time to time, so the free limits you read about last year may not match today.
Principais benefícios do artesanato
Eis o que faz com que Craft valha a pena conferir:
- Document-first editor: Pages look finished the moment you stop typing. Style, spacing and typography are handled for you.
- Backlinks and connection: Link one page to another and Craft records the reverse link. Your notes build a map instead of a pile of files.
- Anotações diárias e calendário: Each day gets its own page automatically. Good for tracking progress across a long project.
- Custom templates: Save any page as a starting point. Meeting agendas and briefs stop being retyped.
- IA integrada assistente: Summarise, rewrite or translate a block without leaving the page.
- Modo de apresentação: Turn a document into slides with one click. No export, no second app.
- Shareable web links: Publish a page as a public URL and control who can respond with comments.
The home screen keeps every space, folder and recent document in one column.

That canvas holds typed text, drawings, screen clippings and audio commentaries.
It ships free as a stand-alone app on the official website and app stores.
Microsoft OneNote

Teste grátis: Not needed. The free version works without a paid subscription.
Garantia de reembolso: Handled by Microsoft billing, not by the app itself.
📌 Observação: Microsoft offers the app itself at no charge. What you pay for is storage and premium features across other Microsoft apps.
⚠️ Pricing conflict flagged: Our database records OneNote as “contact for the exact pricing”, and that figure is what we use in every table here. Microsoft support pages describe something different: a free version with 5GB of OneDrive cloud storage, plus a Microsoft 365 paid plan that raises this to 1TB. Check the Microsoft 365 page for today’s figure.
Principais benefícios do Microsoft OneNote
Here is what keeps OneNote users loyal:
- Verdadeiramente grátis: No cap on the number of notes per notebook. Sync across multiple dispositivos carries no size limit or monthly uploads limit.
- Tecnologia OCR: Optical character recognition finds text inside images and handwritten notes. Search features reach into scanned pages.
- Recortador de páginas da web: The browser extension saves a whole page, part of a page, or just the article body.
- Integração com o Office: Works alongside Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint. Dados moves between Microsoft Office applications without an export dance.
- Audio and video capture: Record audio straight into a page during a lecture or meeting.
- Real-time co-authoring: Multiple users can edit one notebook at the same time. You choose edit or view-only access when sharing notes.
- Runs everywhere: Windows, Mac, iOS, Android and the web through OneDrive.
The notebook, section and page layout is what most new users see first.

Comparação de recursos
Here is where the two apps split apart. We walk through ten categories that decide most purchases.
| Recurso | Arte | Microsoft OneNote |
|---|---|---|
| Preço inicial | $ 0 por mês | Entre em contato para obter o preço exato. |
| Plano Gratuito | ✅ | ✅ |
| backlinks | ✅ | ❌ |
| Free-form Canvas | ❌ | ✅ |
| Tecnologia OCR | ❌ | ✅ |
| Web Clipper | ❌ | ✅ |
| Modo de apresentação | ✅ | ❌ |
| Assistente de IA | ✅ | ✅ |
| Record Audio | ❌ | ✅ |
| Ideal para | Documentos refinados | Messy capture and study notes |
1. Note Taking and Page Structure
Arte: Every page is a stack of blocks. You drag blocks to reorder, nest them, or fold them away. The structure keeps long documents readable, but you cannot drop a text box wherever you like.
Microsoft OneNote: The hierarchy runs notebooks, then sections, then pages, and sections can be colour-coded. On the page itself there is no grid at all. Click anywhere and start taking notes, which suits lectures and scattered ideas.
2. Templates and Customization Options
Arte: Any document you like can be saved as a reusable start point. Style controls cover fonts, page width, cover images and accent colour, so a template carries your whole look.
Microsoft OneNote: A set of pre-designed templates ships in the box, covering atas de reunião and project plans. You can build custom templates too, though the customization options lean toward page furniture rather than typography.
3. Calendar and Daily Notes
Arte: A calendar view sits beside your documents and opens a fresh page for each day. Meetings from your linked calendar appear as entries you can write straight into.
Microsoft OneNote: There is no built-in calendar. You create notes for a meeting by hand, or pull the details in from Outlook. Date-based work needs a section per month and some discipline.
💡 Dica profissional: If your work is driven by dates rather than topics, Craft’s daily page will save you more time than any other feature in this comparison.
4. Backlinks and Organizing Information
Arte: Mention one document inside another and the link records itself in both directions. Over a few months this turns loose notes into a connected web you can walk backwards through.
Microsoft OneNote: No backlinks. You organize information with multiple notebooks, colour-coded sections and custom tags. Tagging is the main way to group related pages, and it works well once you keep the tag list short.
5. Collaboration and Sharing Notes
Arte: Share a document as a public web link or invite people into a space. Comments keep feedback tied to a block. Sharing feels closer to publishing than to a shared drive.
Microsoft OneNote: Co-authoring lets multiple users edit one file at once, and you set edit or view-only access per person. Changes from other OneNote users appear live, which is why study groups and project teams stay on it.
6. AI Assistant and Copilot
Arte: The assistant lives in the page. Highlight a block to summarise, rewrite, translate or extend it. It is aimed at writing rather than at searching your archive.
Microsoft OneNote: Copilot summarises notes and pulls out key points across a notebook. It reaches further than Craft’s assistant, though the strongest behaviour is tied to a Microsoft 365 licence rather than the free tier.
7. Style, Drawing Tools and Handwritten Notes
Arte: Style is where Craft spends its budget. Typography, cards, cover art and colour themes are all adjustable. There is no inking layer, so you cannot handwrite notes with a stylus.
Microsoft OneNote: Drawing tools cover pens, highlighters, shapes and a math assistant that solves equations you write by hand. Optical character recognition then makes that ink searchable, which no rival here matches.
8. Acesso entre dispositivos
Arte: The Mac and iOS apps are the flagship builds. Windows and the Android version work, but they arrive later and feel a step behind the desktop version on Apple hardware.
Microsoft OneNote: You can access OneNote on Windows, Mac, iOS, Android and any browser. Depth varies depending on the device. The Windows version holds the most features, while mobile apps are a simplificado version of it.
⚠️ Aviso: Neither app has a native Linux build. OneNote’s web version of OneNote runs on Linux through a browser, and Craft’s web app does the same.
9. Presentation Mode and Record Audio
Arte: Presentation mode reads your headings and turns the document into slides. No export to PowerPoint, no second file to keep in sync. Audio capture is not part of the app.
Microsoft OneNote: You can record audio and video directly into a page while you type. Voz transcription turns that recording into searchable text. There is no slide mode, so ideas move to PowerPoint instead.
10. Preços e Custos
Let us put the plans side by side.
| Plano | Arte | Microsoft OneNote |
|---|---|---|
| Livre | $ 0 por mês | Entre em contato para obter o preço exato. |
| Pessoal | US$ 4,79 por mês | Entre em contato para obter o preço exato. |
| Amigos e família | US$ 8,99 por mês | Entre em contato para obter o preço exato. |
Arte: At $4.79 per month the Personal plan is cheap for a polished editor. The $8.99 per month Friends & Family tier covers a shared space, so a household or small team splits one bill.
Microsoft OneNote: Our database records contact for the exact pricing, so we cannot quote a number. What we can say is that the app is free to install, and that any bill you pay buys more storage and premium features across other Microsoft apps.
Diferentes cenários
| Se você precisar | Escolher | Por que |
|---|---|---|
| Orçamento apertado | Microsoft OneNote | Free version needs no paid plan |
| Documents you send to clients | Arte | Pages look published by default |
| Handwritten notes on a tablet | Microsoft OneNote | Inking plus OCR technology |
| Linked personal knowledge base | Arte | Backlinks record both directions |
| Deep Microsoft Office use | Microsoft OneNote | Sits beside Word and Excel |
| Escrita para iniciantes | Arte | Cleaner user interface, fewer menus |
💰 Seu orçamento
OneNote asks for nothing up front, which is hard to argue with. Craft’s Personal tier at $4.79 per month is the cheapest paid plan here.
🔌 Seu conjunto de tecnologias
If your company already runs on Microsoft, OneNote needs no new account and no new login. Craft sits better next to Apple hardware, Google Docs and other apps you open in a browser.
📝 Seu estilo de escrita
Craft rewards people who think in sentences and want word processing that looks good. OneNote rewards people who sketch, clip and scribble before any structure exists.
🎓 Seu nível de experiência
OneNote has a steep learning curve and can overwhelm anyone new to it. Craft hides fewer controls, so the first hour is calmer.
🆓 Testes e demonstrações grátis
Both apps let you start without paying, so test them on the same real project. Give each one a week before completing your decision.
🛟 Opções de suporte
OneNote support runs through Microsoft’s documentation library and community forums, which is a real advantage at enterprise scale. Craft leans on email and a smaller help centre.
🔐 Privacidade e Segurança de Dados
OneNote stores your files on Microsoft servers, which some people flag as a security and privacy concern. Craft keeps documents in its own cloud, so review both policies before you trust either with sensitive material.

O que nossa avaliação não abordou
This comparison focused on solo writers, students and small teams. We did not test large-scale rollouts, admin consoles or single sign-on, so anyone planning an enterprise deployment should verify those details directly. We also could not confirm a numeric price for OneNote, because our database records contact for the exact pricing. If your work depends on stylus input all day, or on a strict data residency practice, your experience may differ from what we describe here.

🏆 VENCEDOR: ARTESANATO
Craft wins 4 out of 7 categories and holds a 4.3 rating against 4.2.
Ideal para: Client-facing documents, linked personal notes, daily planning
These two apps are not really chasing the same person. Craft is a writing tool that happens to store notes, and its strategy is polish over raw capture.
OneNote is a capture tool that happens to store documents. Its focus is getting a human thought onto a page fast, in whatever form it arrives.
OneNote is excellent if you study, sketch or live inside Microsoft Office. The free version alone beats what most rivals charge for.
If you write things other people read, Craft is the better buy. It costs $4.79 per month and you can manage a whole year of notes for the price of two lunches.
