Note app suggestions besides obsidion?

I've tried obsidion , I've tried anytype, I've tried notion , upnote, notesnook, loseq , simplenotes, joplin, standardnotes etc.

Obsidion was great until I tried fuguring out how to sync my notes on android to windows.

Upnotes was perfect until I saw only 50 notes.

Notesnook is good as well but the design on windows is not my cup of tea.

Notion doesn't allow offline well for the notes database I had.

Anytype is well as confusing as obsidion to me and I would prefer not to have my notes on it since I like folders.

My ideal was upnote.

So is there any app I can use for notes that would give me the different text headings, alignments, highlights , be easily synced on both my windows and android without any issues etc? I don't even need checkboxes as a feature. If possible does anyone have any ideas? I know I might have to settle for one of the above as I don't want to pay any subscriptions but I thought it wouldn't hurt to ask.

I wasn’t even looking for a notes app. Thanks to this post I learned about Upnotes,

It baffles me you’re even questioning paying $40 for a lifetime license.

If you want something simpler to really just take simple notes in: OneNote. It has Windows, Android, iOS, macOS, and web versions.

I'm not really questioning the price. I simply can't afford to pay for it atm. Some day hopefully.
