For a long time Evernote was just the biggest kid on the block-the big kid that could’ve kept you from noticing the little nerd in the corner that would’ve been a better match for you all along. It’s natural that you’d be wary of putting all your eggs (or notes) in a basket that could disappear sometime in the next 10 years.Īnd reason two? It could be that one of these apps was the note-taking soulmate you never knew you had. One, Evernote’s price change wasn’t the only disconcerting news fact is, even after some restructuring and the price model change, they’re not quite out of the woods yet. Why switch to a paid option when Evernote’s recent price change is what’s having people looking to switch in the first place? Are you tired of hearing me say how much I love good UX design yet? Paid-But Totally Worth It The Write app has everything Evernote has, plus syntax highlighting, distraction-free mode, and live word counts.Īnd it’s interface? Simple and lovely. It’s free to use for teams across unlimited devices, and offers an upgrade option for teams over 10 or advanced features. You can edit notes together in real time, have threaded comment discussions, and even react with emojis. It’s available on web, PC, Mac, and iPhone and has built an impressive set of collaboration features that take it to the next level beyond Evernote. If you need lightweight and beautiful team collaboration, then Notejoy is for you. Obviously this one will make a lot of sense for you if you’re already a big Dropbox user. Collaborating: Work chat on Evernote is solid, but Dropbox Paper is almost made for collaboration with real-time comments and editing.Image editing: impressively robust (for a note-taking app) in Evernote, nonexistent in Dropbox Paper.Text formatting: a bit more flexible on Dropbox Paper, through a menu bar that only pops up once you’ve highlighted text (to keep things clean!).From .ĭropbox Paper is the new kid on the block, and while everyone’s saying this new kid is picking a fight with Google Docs, I say it’s a solid competitor for Evernote as well One thing I didn’t love about Evernote? It’s not nice to look at.
