*Looking for alternatives to Evernote?*

If you've found an alternative. Feel free to share the one you found!

After paying for two accounts for over a decade and accumulating over 20, 000 notes, I switched to Joplin. While many people mention the doubling of Evernote’s prices, they often overlook the fact that Bending Spoons laid off all of Evernote’s staff. I strive not to support companies that primarily exist to enrich their new owners at the expense of their employees’ livelihoods.

[Orpheus.Machine]

I stay :
- Free is never "free": someone has to pay for the non-paying users. I rather prefer my subcription money used to make Evernote better instead of supporting those "free users"
- Since Bending Spoons took over Evernote, the syncing is like 100 times better than before
- I really like the AI-search. It completely changed the way I search inside Evernote
- I tried Notion and other competitors, but I prefer the simplicity of Evernote. It helps me focus on productivity, not on playing around with "features".

Hello,
I'm sticking with Evernote for several reasons, not least for its ease of use, which allows me to stay focused on my work (I don't have time to waste maintaining a system like Notion), but also for its web clipper, which is one of the best on the market, if not THE best !

I have been a paying Evernote subscriber from 2011 until 2022. Over Christmas, I finally closed my Evernote account having moved all my data to Notion and OneNote (still deciding). It was a good run.

I have tried almost ALL note-taking apps and I am have came back to Evernote.

1. There is NO app which has OCR capabilities like Evernote.
2. Ability to natively record audio and add them anywhere in the note is another unique feature.
3. Feature to natively sketch inside the app
4. Annotating images and screenshots in a note.

The only app which comes close is OneNote in terms of these features. But I just hate Microsoft products UI UX.
Syncing has 0 issues for me and has improved drastically.

I am staying 100%.

[DavidTschoepe]

My Evernote pricing went from $49 to over $140 per year. I'm actively looking at alternatives.

[chrisdancy]

Customer since 2008. I canceled. It's predatory.

After years on Evernote, I could not take it anymore. Its slowness has not improved and its iPhone app is even slower, the limit of 50 notes is outright offensive. I am in the process of transitioning to Notion and getting used to it.

[leifcarlsenDK]

I am staying and think that you, Francesco, are not mentioning the many improvements that Evernote have introducere lately. Especially speed is very fast now and I no longer get sync errors.

[cameronlawoffices]

It's not a "note-taking" app. It's a searchable digital file cabinet. The search is pretty good now and I see AI improving the search piece going forward. I just have no problems with it keeping my stuff for fast review.

[christinepadgett]

Thank you a great video! I've used Evernote for a decade and I've hated the price increases and at times the slowness (although Evernote has fixed it). I've tried so many other note taking apps probably every app out there. I move away from Evernote for a while but I always find myself returning back to Evernote again! Again today I've upgraded my Evernote plan. I really believe it's the Evernote interface and usability that just makes it work for me.

[bkkaranja]

Evernote died with the constant restriction of features and unnecessary tiering while asking for more subscription fees on many occasions. Users felt betrayed and the apps value reflected the sentiment...

[PierrePaulLandry]

Thanks for the video. Always instructive. But as is often the case with your videos, they are very much Apple centric. Bear, Agenda and Noteplan and others mentioned are Apple only and there is no mention of this. Windows has 2-3 times the market share of macOS. Keep this in mind please!

[SamiPaju]

I have been really impressed with how well Amplenote handles Evernote improvements. Notes with images and /or file attachments seem to import without issues :)

[MireillevanDriel]

Thank you for this. I’ve been an Evernote user since May 2008. It is hard to believe, but I feel like I have no other option. Your video did help a lot, however, where does notion fit into all of this? Is it in any way an alternative to Evernote. I use Evernote for scanning pdf with Scannable, searching inside pdf, taking text notes, and web clipping.
I am thinking of using Notion for notes, tasks, projects (PARA method, Ultimate brain setup), up note or day one journal for the simple text notes and also Notion (different database) for web clipping.

I just need something to search a pdf with keywords from inside the file, like in Evernote. Any ideas?

[jpirizarry]

After a decade of utilizing Evernote, I can honestly say that this year has been one of the most productive in terms of developments that I have seen. The changes actually make me want to stay.

[patrickws]

I moved from OneNote to (paid) Evernote about a year ago and I am really enjoying it. I have not plans to leave Evernote.

[italomendez]

I started using evernote at the beginning of 2023 and used it for a full year with a paid subscription. In the end, I didn't use all of it's functionalities since I'm not a hardcore user, which is why I have decided to move on to something more straight forward.

[rnmnysz]

I use Evernote as a file-cabinet and archive. I have 4-5 notebooks with 400-450 notes in total based on "area" and then I have "organised" all my notes through a tag-hierarchy. Can anyone suggest a good alternative based on these criteria? I really don't need that many, or advanced features. The most important thing is the ability to setup a tag structure.
