Evernote vs. OneNote: Which one is the best Note-Taking app?
Note-taking apps are becoming increasingly popular as people seek to digitize their lives. Evernote and OneNote are two popular note-taking apps. Both offer fantastic features and tools to help users organize and manage their daily tasks.
In this blog post, we'll compare the two most popular note-taking apps: Evernote and OneNote. We'll analyze their features, pricing, and user interface to help you decide which one is the best for you.
Pricing
Let's start with pricing. Evernote offers a free and paid version. The free version has limited features, while the paid version, which starts at $7.99 per month, has additional features such as offline access and document search. OneNote, on the other hand, is completely free to use, which makes it a great option for those who don't want to pay.
User Interface
The user interface of both applications is quite similar. However, OneNote's interface is slightly more user-friendly and easier to navigate. OneNote's interface is based on a tabbed notebook system that is intuitive and easy to understand. Evernote's interface is more cluttered, which can be overwhelming for some users.
Features
Both Evernote and OneNote have similar features such as the ability to add notes, images, and files. However, Evernote's feature set includes more advanced features such as OCR (Optical Character Recognition) and the ability to annotate PDF files. OneNote, on the other hand, has a more flexible and intuitive layout, making it easier to save and organize notes in different formats.
Syncing capabilities
Evernote has strong syncing capabilities across all devices with note-taking apps. It offers synchronization of all notes, not just the ones saved in the cloud. OneNote also has cross-platform syncing capabilities. Unfortunately, the syncing process is not as smooth as with Evernote. The app may struggle to sync in time leading to lost data for the user.
Integrations
Both Evernote and OneNote are integrated with multiple third-party applications such as Microsoft Outlook, Google Drive, etc. Evernote has more integration options than OneNote, which includes IFTTT.
Conclusion
Now that we have compared Evernote and OneNote, which one is the winner? Unfortunately, it is up to you to choose which one suits you best as both offer great value, depending on what you're looking for.
At the end of the day, the choice boils down to your preferences, your purpose for using the app, and your budget. If we had to recommend one or the other, we would recommend OneNote due to its simpler and more user-friendly interface. On the other hand, we recommend Evernote if you are looking for more advanced features such as OCR.
