Samsung Notes and Evernote are two popular applications. Both are available on the Android
at least. How both differ? The video covers Samsung Notes vs Evernote. So, let's get started.
Starting with the platforms, Samsung Notes is offered on Android and on compatible Windows
10 devices. The desktop software is available, which supports all the Windows 10 powered devices,
but it does not sync with the mobile app as Samsung has not developed the software.
Evernote is a popular multi-platform note-taking app. The app is available to download on mobile,
desktop and browsers. It's a free app, but it limits the number of features and platforms in
the free version. Web Clipper
The web tool of Evernote is called Evernote Web Clipper.
It's an extension for Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Microsoft Edge. You can use the clipper
to save and annotate web pages, PDFs, and articles. The clipper is free for basic use.
So, what's on the interface? Samsung Notes uses a simple design by displaying all the
notes on the main screen. The app supports the dark theme, but it does not come with an option
to enable the dark mode manually. It detects the phone's active mode and applies the theme.
You can search for notes and text within the notes, and you can sort and multi-select notes.
The app uses the traditional Android-style left menu, where you find everything.
Moving to Evernote, it is not as simple as Samsung Notes, but that's because it has more options
than the competitor. You get all the notes on the main interface with add a new note button
down the bottom. You can search for the notes and the text within the notes.
Let's move to the tools both offer. The easiest way to compare tools is to show them in a table.
Take a look at this table. The text in green shows that the opponent does not offer that feature.
Both support the rich editing tools, and you can attach images, audio files and more.
So, what sharing and exporting features do you get? This round goes to Samsung Notes
because the app offers both sharing and exporting features. Evernote only offers
sharing features. With Evernote, you can share the note with the view, edit, and invite permissions.
The action can be completed by sending an email or a link. Regarding exporting, it only supports
sending the note as an email. You can also print notes on the desktop version of the app.
Samsung Notes, on the contrary, allows creating a shared notebook which can be shared with other
users to collaborate. It also offers to export notes. The users can export in SDOCX file, which
can be opened in Samsung Notes, including the PC version. The app also offers to export the notes
in PDF, Microsoft Word, Microsoft PowerPoint, image, and text file. Moreover, you can print
the document straight from the app. Those features make Samsung Notes a powerful application.
Other than mentioned features, there are a few tools which both offer.
Samsung Notes offers to open up a note page to draw when the pen is removed from Galaxy Note
while the phone is on standby, it allows importing notes from the phone,
Samsung account, and Google Drive and finally, it allows importing and editing PDF files
Evernote, on the other hand, comes with a separate dark theme option,
comes with over 65 templates for better note keeping,
allows Google Drive integration to preview Google Drive links and
Automatically saves the contact details of captured business card
So, what's the pricing model? Samsung Notes is a free app, but Evernote isn't completely free. The
free plan limits the displayed features. You can use two devices at max
You get 60 MB monthly upload limit 25 MB of the note at max
Offline access only on the desktop version and Limited sharing and integration options
The premium version is offered in two variations. The individual premium plan costs $10 per month,
which enables: Unlimited devices
10 GB monthly upload limit 200 MB of note size
Offline access on both desktop and mobile versions and
Extended sharing and integration options The final team-driven plan cost $16.5
per user per month and offers some extra features alongside some team focused tools.
So, which one is for you? If you want the free stuff on your Android device,
then Samsung Notes is for you. There is no doubt that it's one of the great toke-taking tools.
I would suggest using Evernote if you have multiple devices
and want to sync the notes as you go. Samsung Notes is powerful, but the fact that you can't
take your notes with you all time regardless of the platform makes me a little bit worried.
