Notion vs Evernote - How to Choose & What's Different

Trying to decide between Evernote or Notion? I have used Evernote for over a decade and currently use Notion for just about everything. In this episode, I discuss the differences between the two and how I use them.

    Evernote: scanning, storing and searching documents (medical history and other docs, receipts, business cards, searchable handwritten notes and whiteboard scans in multiple languages), incredible OCR, great web clipper, pdf-annotations, offline notebooks, direct audio and camera input, bare-minimum but serviceable handwriting input option, encryption Notion: make a perfect custom website/wiki-style/database hub for work, personal planning, goals, stats, progress-checking and so on. No OCR, no offline access, no encryption, but many options for integrations with other services. Hierarchical, highly customizeable structure and view of content. Verdict: just use both and interconnect with links to notes :-)

    Great analysis, unlike many others out there. We are talking about 2 applications with different focus. - Evernote it's for note-taking - Notion it's for database management Notion does many other things, yes it does. But he does it anyway and is not very good at it. Of course, we have to take into account that it is a relatively new tool. As a Note-taking tool, Notion doesn't work for me. - No offline support - It's stupidly slow on mobile (impossible to capture quick notes) - It's slow on the desktop even with a good internet I would love to see Notion really focus on performance and offline mode, which they announced they were working on 9 months ago. Anyway, great video!

I have over 3090 notes and most of them are loaded with images, audio notes, everything! What am I not getting? I would literally feel like I was cheating if I didn’t remain faithful to Evernote.

    So I have a process whereby I start with a MindMap (using MindNode) to create my daily tasks. Then I export those tasks to OmniFocus. I am not set on keeping OmniFocus as it's a bit heavy on the bells and whistles and I'm not really using GTD per se. So between Evernote and Notion which would you choose to export your tasks from a MindMap? Are there any MindMap combos with either Evernote or Notion that work well (like my integration from MindNode to OmniFocus)?

    I have to say that so far I’ve been pretty impressed with notion as far as a company goes. They have not taken on any unnecessary funding and have remained a pretty lean organization. If they were building Notion to make money, they would have taken on more funding which they could easily get with their user base.

    If quality repro web clipping is needed, then Notion's Chrome web clipper extension is so elementary, it's almost in the same category as Google Keep - embryonic. For me article clipping is important, so it's back to Evernote. Evernote's Android app is reliable and formats content very nicely. Plus Evernote's free flavour does offer a generous monthly upload.

    I resize/rescale images all the time in the (now Legacy 6.25 version, version 10 for Windows is slow, sucky, many features removed). Open up the note in its own window, click the image once, and the selection handle will appear in the lower right corner of the image. Use the selection handle to resize--once the cursor turns into a double-ended arrow, just click and drag that arrow to the left and up to resize.

    Here in 2024. How things change since this video was recorded 4 years ago. Notion has become a very generous FREE app, while Evernote has become useless for me - unless I upgrade to a paid plan. It was my universal note-capturing system for almost 10 years... and then... they slowly started removing features for free users. I went from being able to sync 3 devices, down to 2. I was able to create unlimited notebooks, and now you can only have 1. I could create unlimited notes... now you can only have 50 - and worst of all, if you're like me and have anything beyond that because you've been using it for years - you get slapped with a popup agressively forcing you to upgrade to a paid plan everytime you click an existing note only to view it. To me, that's a massive turnoff which is why I'm looking into importing everything in Notion. I'll miss the audio note taking to capture song ideas or dreams. Anyway, just wanted to comment and suggest perhaps publishing a 2024 update to this video! Cheers :)
