I’ve used Evernote for years, paying for the personal version while I was working. Its main competitor is Microsoft OneNote, which I’ve never really got on with.

Since retirement I’ve been using the free version of Evernote and I thought I’d switch to OneNote which comes with our Microsoft 365 yearly subscription, but I just couldn’t get it to work for me. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a great notebook program, it simply didn’t scratch where I itch.

This pushed me back to Evernote, and eventually to the personal pay version to unlock many of its useful features. It’s brilliant, I use it for everything from household business to planning and drafting my WordPress blog.

Both have excellent features, both synchronise to all devices, both are useful; but which do you use?
