Coda vs Obsidian: our take
Obsidian takes the higher SoftwareScore, 70 to 69. That's close enough that fit matters more than the number.
Coda pulls ahead on Collab and AI (Collab 10 vs 3), which makes it the stronger pick for teams.
Obsidian pulls ahead on Ownership and Value (Ownership 10 vs 3), which makes it the stronger pick for privacy and data control.
The clearest divide is Ownership (Coda 3, Obsidian 10). If that axis is central to how you work, let it settle the choice.
On lock-in, Obsidian is the safer bet: it scores 10/10 on data ownership to Coda's 3, so weigh how easily you could move your notes out later.
