Hello everyone and welcome back to another video. It is Francesco here
so in today's review what we are going to be doing is diving into the awkward topic of Evernote versus Notion now I
have been not tearing my hair out, but actually sort of beating myself up recently about this sort of topic of
Evernote and Notion I have made a few tweets when I was like comparing it
Contextually to Evernote and I think some people have sort of thought that I'm endorsing it as an evidence
Competitor and of course functionally it could be but right now I don't think it is
So we've done a full article where I think notion is at at the moment so you can read that one below
Maybe get my sort of official warts on there
But in today's video I thought it would be helpful
Especially because I've been getting a lot of emails on this recently to compare Evernote
with notion and to put them head-to-head in a
Note-taking context so as a note taker using them everyday to take notes
I want to make that clear because I believe that notion is more of a Trello competitor a
project management competitor versus in note taker
So what I want to do today is go over evident versa notion and in tomorrow's video
Maybe the next day depending on when I put it up. I want to put Trello versus notion head head
So hopefully you get both of those sort of ideas around banner
So in today's video we aren't going to dive into the heads head
We're going to talk about the features the functions and then give you general
Opinion as well by the end of this video now just to be clear
I'm going to give you availability as well as information like that at the end
So if you want to skip ahead at any point user timestamps below
I want to be clear about my own use of these applications only use both notion and evident together
I don't use them as a workflow necessarily
But they both assist me in my day-to-day routine about getting stuff done now
Let's start with Evernote now Evernote is obviously the market leader in note-taking
Experiences and it's been around for quite a while now guys, obviously we all know
Ten years or so and I've actually seen that maybe the last two years a lot of people opted out of the Evernote experience
Mainly because things have gotten a little more complicated
in terms of its design and the design and features have gotten a bit static to some extent but it still remains as
One of the best note takers out on the market and I think functionally it works fantastic
No, you probably new to notion and maybe even the opposite you probably like Francesco
Please shut up shut up about this application
You've been going on about it too much the notion essentially markets itself as a workspace
Application allowing users to do a whole host of things
they've actually mentioned on their website that there are a wiki notes and document application now recently they released
To doe which included a lot of new functionality, which I'm sure we'll talk about in this future section
but it has been on many people's cards as an Evernote replacement and
Many other applications because the way that it structures itself in terms of being able to allow you to do pretty much
Anything now just a note I have actually personally used it as a note-taker before but only in light usage
So I'm going to explain how I use them there at the end now, of course
Notion can be used as an Evernote replacement
But at the moment notion lacks the process that allows you to capture and take notes
So one of the things that Evernote does really really well is the ability to actually capture
The notes and be able to process it into the relevant area
Now of course notion has its, you know pages function
But it doesn't really have the rigid structure that Evernote has in terms of notebooks and folders
So it makes it a lot more stricter when it comes to using Evernote know the one thing I'd say is that notion?
more compares to the likes of Dropbox paper
Code our Trello then it does to Evernote maybe because Evernote is more of a fixed note-taking
Experience and has all of the functions and features to actually get you doing that
It's quite hard to explain but that's how I've gone about explaining it in certain emails to people now
Let's start by talking about a few of the standout features of evidence
So these are the ones that really do differentiate it from notion - first off is email into Evernote
And of course you can email into Evernote
any of your notes or ideas and this is limited in the free account but available in plus and premium and does allow you to
Send emails in that's a great capture method for people and something that many people do thoroughly
Enjoy having that process in place. No Evernote has a host of scanning functions as well
So what you can do is you can scan in documents using a clear and very well working
document scanner as well as the post-it note scanner and
a business card scanner to that if you're on the premium version now Evernote stand-out functions as well has to be its availability on
Android as well as the Web Clipper as well and also Evernote does have more PDF
Functionality than the likes of notion allowing you to edit and modify and even capture elements inside of a PDF
Which makes it a lot easier to use now
you're probably wondering what are the standout features of a notion when it comes to being a note-taker and that would have to be the
project elements
inside of notion you
Could potentially make a note and add the items like for example a board or a calendar
Now our evidence already has tables but the actual action of adding a board or a calendar makes it so much more
Interactive now within notion you now have reminders, of course you have this inside of Evernote
but the reminders are a bit more specific allowing you to tag pages people and time and date as well as getting reminded and
Specific reminders on all of those and that's a very recent feature now the layout is a lot more
flexible and you can add the ability to
backgrounds and iconography
Too and I think the general structure of the way that the notion is set up is that it is much more
interactive, so in terms of price
You're probably wondering how do these two compare now inside of notions personal account?
you can get it for $4.00 per month and that's paid annually or
$5 ongoing so Evernote actually price himself with plus and premium and they're in the ranges of
35 pound I believe it is and 50 pound
But I'll make sure I'll add that in description because does they always do change it now?
Of course when it comes to value the actual experience
If you're using it with the personal note taker has to do to notion because notion have no specific
upload limit and they have the flexibility to create whatever you want inside of that personal account now in terms of a
Head-to-head editor experience. I would have to give this one to Evernote because it's been around longer
It has really great functions, but in terms of fast catch up
I'd have to give that to notion now notion are hard to determine
They've obviously set three main goals sort of stuff in the next couple of weeks. So you've got to be watching out for this
They're releasing a Web Clipper as well as an Android application and advanced commenting function
so of course notion is a
challenger but Evernote is
putting up a fighting chance with their recent spaces function and they are going I feel like they're going to have a
redesign which will make a lot more evident users feel a bit more open and this is maybe a jutted experience getting very
Static and I think with a more open experience, they can create a workspace. It's more suitable for them
So guys hopefully that gives you a nice overview of notion versus Evernote
And of course, I'll be doing a video on neutral versus Trello after this one
So hopefully you can dive straight into that one
but anyway guys
