There is of course OmniOutliner, which is a little clunky and a little ugly, but quite powerful and works well. One-time price for apps and OmniSync works well.
Outlinely probably comes 2nd. It seems to have copied the user interface elements of Dynalist. Syncing across platforms requires subscription. Never tried it, but if I hadn’t bought into OmniOutliner I probably would have tried going with it.
I have Cloud Outliner Pro for Mac/iOS too. It’s basic but works well. I don’t use it because I really dislike working in the app’s Light or Dark modes, and the single, imposed font. If you’re okay with the looks it’s really not bad for the price.
I tried out TaskPaper/Mac and TaskMator/iOS but it just didn’t click for me.
If you want to look at cloud platforms that have iOS (wrapper) apps, look at Dynalist, Workflowy and Checkvist for a more pure outliner experience.

In addition to everything already mentioned, one unconventional option to consider is The Hit List. It’s designed as a task management app, but it has some great features for general outlining. The major downside is the lack of good export options coupled with the fact that the app doesn’t see much activity these days.

Thanks to all of you for your suggestions. Outlinely will take a bit of getting used to, but I’m giving it a shot. And I’ll take a look at the “long in the tooth” one.
I remember trying the “Hit List” years ago, and don’t remember why it didn’t catch on with users. I haven’t heard a peep about it in a long time.

My thoughts on The Hit List too. If they’d only add exporting, it would make a nice outliner.

I still think Dynalist is the best option for now. Even though the iOS app does not feel as nice as a native app, I find that it is better than outlinely for my needs.
