UpNote
UpNote is very similar to Bear, both in terms of features and aesthetics. It's biggest plus is that it is available on all platforms, while Bear is an Apple-exclusive app. Both apps use tags to organize notes, while only UpNote allows grouping notes into Notebooks in addition to that.

Bear
Bear stands out as a slightly more polished, aesthetically pleasing product. Like UpNote, it also uses Markdown to format notes. Unlike UpNote, it does not hide the Markdown syntax, which can be either a minus or a plus depending on your preference.
