Review

“Once category-defining, now showing its age against Notion and newer tools.”

Evernote's OCR-powered search across handwritten notes and scanned documents was groundbreaking and remains genuinely useful.

Pricing increases and slower feature development in recent years have pushed many long-time users toward Notion or Obsidian.
