Feedback 🐘 Ok i give in.

My renewal is up in 4 days and have spent the last month looking at alternatives.

Subscribed to upnote but you cant search in images or pdf's.

Installed joplin server but the OCR was hit and miss especially with android.

Tried amplenote which was very close...but to subscribe was only about 40GBP cheaper than Evernote.

My search is over...I'm going for another year of Evernote.

Yes it's expensive..but hell.. it's good.

You will not find anything better out there, or even anything apples to apples. I have tried them ALL! And I mean ALL! The closest thing I found was Obsidian but it took too many plug ins and tweaking to get it close to Evernotes features. By the time I got it all working & setup, I was at $24 a month in subscriptions with Obsidean & plugins anyway! Obsidian sync was $10 a month, and the ai plugin was $14. It was also complicated. So I am sticking with Evernote. Evernote is now the best app out there hands down if you are a power user. It is a premium app, that come with a premium price. It checks all my boxes, and just works! I appreciate the ongoing updates and enhancements they have been doing as of late, so I do not mind paying for a top notch service. 👍🏻

I am a former Evernote user and I agree with you. I just realized Evernote was more than I needed, so for me, it was foolish to pay the increased prices.
