Is StackEdge or Notion the better poker tracker?

Notion is great for notes, but it is the wrong tool for tracking poker math. Players who log sessions in Notion or Apple Notes end up with rich context (key hands, opponents, mental state) but no calculated metrics — no hourly rate, no BB/100, no risk-of-ruin warning. StackEdge captures the same notes alongside automatic math and analytics.
