While I'm happy enough with using Standard Notes for free, $15/mo for the first paid version is way too much for the extra features. I get that it adds a simple spreadsheet function and 2FA stuff, but some of that is not what I want a notes app for. If they want to make a productivity suite, go ahead, but I can't justify that jump to make my notes for checklists and markdown when all I wanted was a good notes app.

On top of that the macOS app doesn't work right for like over a year now and it's still not fixed despite updates every few days.

I'm already paying for Bitwarden Enterprise for personal/SMB use and I could just use that for my Encrypted notes instead. But while I use macOS and iPhone mostly, I still use a Linux workstation daily and I can't use iCloud Notes on that, so I may just use Nextcloud for my non-sensitive notes. I already use it for To-Dos and Calendars.
