Craft vs TeXstudio

Craft is a document and notes app that runs on the web, Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android. It supports offline access, note sharing, and real-time collaboration, so users can work with notes across devices and share them with others. Its listed connections include Craft API, MCP, Calendar, Apple Reminders, iOS Shortcuts, Web Clipper, Email to Craft, and Readwise. The Free plan includes 1,500 blocks, 1 GB of storage, a 25 MB media upload limit, seven days of version history, and 15 AI assistant credits. The Plus plan lists unlimited content, storage, and media uploads, plus 50 AI assistant credits per month. Family covers two to six Plus accounts, while Team covers up to 10 Plus accounts. Craft has a free plan, with paid plans starting at $6.40/user/mo (annual). The maker was founded in 2019 and is headquartered in London, United Kingdom.

TeXstudio is a desktop writing environment for creating LaTeX documents on Windows, Linux, and macOS. It is free under the GPL v2, which allows users to use and modify it. Editing tools include multi-cursors, auto-completion, more than 1,000 mathematical symbols, bookmarks, link overlays, assistants, image drag and drop, and table formatting. For reviewing documents, it provides structure view, code folding, syntax highlighting, spellchecking, grammar and reference checking, and displays for LaTeX errors and warnings. Its build system supports LaTeX compilers, index, bibliography and glossary tools, Latexmk, detection of multiple runs, and custom program execution. An integrated PDF viewer offers near word-level syncing, plus live previews for formulas and code. Setup can detect MikTeX, TeX Live, Ghostscript, and Standardlatex, and the program supports SVN. Collaborative editing through teamtype is available on OSX and Linux. On Windows 11, the Visual Studio runtime is required; there is no release for macOS 10.x, though compilation from source or with Homebrew is possible.
