I Was WRONG! Evernote vs Notion vs Other Note Taking Apps

What is the perfect note taking app? I’ve been a big Evernote user for a long period of time for capturing knowledge and creating a second brain but recently I’ve gotten more and more into Notion so I’m going to dive into the world of note taking apps and give my thoughts on how to choose the app that’s right for you and look at how I use note-taking apps.

Let me know which note taking apps you prefer in the comments below 👇

Notion does not have an offline mode and is therefore not suitable as an application for taking notes (IMO)

Evernote has increased it's price 3x since I started just two years ago. I'm definitely looking at something else, and I may go back to pen and paper!!

[MarcusTrawick]

I became frustrated with Obsidian & Notion, then I got Upnote, which I love so far.

Notion with the AI assistant is an essential tool for me, I can have the AI format the text, translate, create tables, it saves a ton of time, and the sharing is great.

I take my notes with notability. I’ve loved it and used it for 4+ years

Thanks for your outstanding video. I'm curious what keyboard you have on your desk?

[hariprabukrishnasamynaidug]

I'm using remnote but most of the time, the app is too buggy. I really like writing in remnote but at that same time, I want to use project management tool as well. If I go to notion, I will miss out the portal function in remnote, which I often use it. What do you suggest? Using both the app or stick with any one ??

What were you wrong about? Your title exclaims you were wrong about something but I couldn't parse what you meant.

[BigBlueLobster]

I used Evernote but it got way too expensive and customer service is abysmal.

[malcolmmerlyn]

No offline mode, this is something you did not mention.

[logiclight]

Amplenote is a really good alternative.

I may have missed this, but it sounds like you use both then?

[mauricioflores]

Notion plus Obsidian equals heaven 👌🏻
I'm currently migrating from Evernote into Notion.
