Key Differences

Core data model

Craft: Craft is built around docs — rich document creation/editing with tasks and calendar embedded inside documents.

Fibery: Fibery is built around relational databases as the core structural building block, with Table, Board, Gallery, List, Timeline, Gantt, Calendar, Report, Map, Feed, Form, and Dashboard views on top.

A document-first model suits writing and personal knowledge management; a database-first model suits structured, cross-referenced project and product work.

Team collaboration model

Craft: Craft's Family plan bundles 2-6 individual Plus accounts and its Team plan bundles up to 10, described as shared spaces for bundled individual accounts.

Fibery: Fibery's Free plan directly supports up to 10 users plus 10 guests, with Standard/Pro/Enterprise tiers priced per user and Enterprise requiring a minimum of 25 paid users.

Fibery is architected from the ground up for larger, per-seat team collaboration; Craft's team support is framed as bundling individual accounts.

AI availability by plan

Craft: Craft's Free plan includes only 15 AI credits, and even the paid Plus plan caps AI credits at 50/month.

Fibery: Fibery AI is included on the Free plan and all paid tiers without a stated credit cap in the facts provided.

Credit-capped AI usage can limit how much a user relies on AI writing help in daily work.

Automation depth

Craft: Craft's feature list does not include a dedicated automation or formula engine.

Fibery: Fibery offers automations and formulas, including JavaScript automations on Pro plans and unlimited automations/integrations on Enterprise.

Custom automation logic (including code-level automations) enables more complex workflow logic than a docs app typically supports.

Platform support

Craft: Craft's tags list web-app, iOS, and Mac, with no stated Android support.

Fibery: Fibery is tagged as a web-app without iOS/Mac/Android tags listed in the facts provided.

Native mobile/desktop app availability affects how usable a tool is offline or on a phone.

Pros & Cons

Craft

Pros

  • Polished, native apps across Mac, iOS, Windows, and Android
  • Generous free tier with a functional AI credit allotment
  • Affordable Plus pricing compared to bundling several separate tools
  • Strong visual design and document sharing formatting
  • Family and Team plans make multi-user pricing straightforward

Cons

  • Free plan is capped at 1,500 content blocks and 1 GB storage
  • AI credits are limited even on the Plus plan (50/month)
  • Less suited to complex relational databases than tools like Notion or Airtable
  • Team plan tops out at 10 accounts before requiring a custom sales conversation

Fibery

Pros

  • Unusually flexible relational data model that adapts to many different workflows beyond standard project tracking
  • Genuinely usable free tier supporting up to ten users with unlimited entities and automations
  • Combines project tracking, documents, and whiteboards in one connected workspace
  • Strong discount programs for startups, non-profits, education, and open-source projects

Cons

  • Flexibility comes with a steeper learning curve than more opinionated tools like Linear or Trello
  • Small team size (roughly 30-36 employees) relative to competitors like Notion or Airtable
  • Enterprise tier requires a 25-user minimum, which may not suit smaller organizations needing enterprise features
  • Pricing is denominated in euros, which may require currency conversion for some international customers

Use Cases

Choose Craft: Best for an individual who wants a polished personal notes/docs app with tasks, calendar, whiteboards, and AI writing assistance across their own devices — Craft was recognized as Apple's Mac App of the Year and an Apple Design Awards finalist.
Choose Fibery: Best for a team that needs relational databases, multiple views (Table, Board, Gantt, Timeline, etc.), and automations to connect work items across projects, with Fibery AI included on every tier including the free plan.
Need both: A founder or team lead who personally drafts and organizes notes in Craft for quick individual writing, while the team tracks structured, cross-linked project work in Fibery, may use both tools for their respective strengths rather than force one tool to do both jobs.

Craft

  • Personal notes and journaling — Individuals capturing notes, journals, and personal documents across devices.
  • Team knowledge bases — Small teams building shared documentation and collaborating on project notes.
  • Shareable client documents — Creating polished, shareable documents and proposals that resemble formatted web pages or PDFs.

Fibery

  • Unifying product management workflows — Product and engineering teams use Fibery to connect customer feedback, feature requests, engineering tasks, and release notes within one relational data model.
  • Replacing multiple disconnected tools — Teams consolidate a separate project tracker, documentation wiki, and whiteboarding app into a single Fibery workspace to reduce tool sprawl.
  • Building custom operational systems — Non-profit, education, and real estate organizations use Fibery's flexible entity system to model record-keeping and workflows specific to their industry.
