Evernote vs Notion

Notion and Evernote were once in different categories — Evernote was the note-taking king, Notion was a newcomer. Today, Notion has surpassed Evernote in nearly every dimension except one: web clipping. Evernote's Web Clipper remains the best tool for saving web content to your notes.

Notion's flexibility makes Evernote feel limited. Notion pages can contain databases, Kanban boards, calendars, embeds, and toggles. Evernote notes are rich text with attachments — powerful for note-taking but rigid compared to Notion's block-based system. For teams that need a workspace beyond notes, Notion is the clear choice.

Evernote's search is still excellent. It searches inside PDFs, images (via OCR), and handwritten notes. For people who capture everything and need to find it later, Evernote's search-everything approach works well. Notion's search is good but doesn't match Evernote's OCR capabilities.
