Comparisons
Head-to-head comparisons between two apps (rarely three) on a fixed set of decision axes: pricing, offline/local-first support, export format and lock-in risk, collaboration, and platform coverage. Every comparison carries a visible last-verified date, an honest 'not for you if' section, and a note confirming pricing was checked directly against vendor pages with no undisclosed affiliates. Serves readers who know roughly what they're choosing between but haven't committed to a move yet. Does not walk through the mechanics of an actual migration (Migrations) and does not describe a single app on its own (Profiles). Every comparison links to the matching migration guide(s) in either direction and to both apps' Profiles.
