In their own words

Amplenote

Amplenote combines notes, tasks, and calendar scheduling in four modes: Jots, Notes, Tasks, and Calendar. It is available through web, Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android, Chrome extension, and API access, with offline use. Users can share notes and collaborate in real time. Tasks can be placed on Amplenote’s calendar and, on Pro or higher, synchronized with Google, Outlook, or Apple calendars. Integrations also include Siri Shortcuts, IFTTT, Pipedream, and Google Drive. The service follows a freemium model with a free plan and 15-day trial. Personal is for non-commercial use and limits uploads to 5 MB; Pro permits larger uploads and unlimited devices, while Unlimited and Founder also list unlimited devices. Native desktop apps require Pro, Unlimited, or Founder, although downloadable PWAs are supported. Standard notes are not end-to-end encrypted by default, and attachments are not encrypted, including with Vault Notes.

Org mode

Org mode is a structured plain-text format and a mode for GNU Emacs, suited to work ranging from notes and markup to literate programs. It combines task planning, time tracking, document editing and publishing. Tasks can have TODO states, priorities, deadlines, schedules and tags, with clocking and customizable agendas. Org documents use nested sections that can be folded or unfolded, and tables support formulas, references, and CSV or TSV imports. Org Babel runs source blocks in more than 80 languages. Documents can be exported to formats such as HTML, LaTeX, ODT and Markdown, and projects with multiple Org files and resources can be published. Org Capture collects structured information from Emacs and other applications, including browsers and PDF viewers. The full feature set is exclusive to GNU Emacs, though third-party file tools are listed for Android, iOS and web. Org is free, included with GNU Emacs, and also installable through package management or its Git repository. Recent releases require a recent Emacs version.
