Evernote Alternative – Which App Is Best For Managing Notes?

Evernote is no longer free if you want to sync your notes with more than two devices. Beginning in late June, Evernote has limited its users to sync notes with only up to two devices with the free plan. Their pricing policy has changed as well. Right now Plus and Premium plans cost $4 and $8 per month, respectively, compared to the $3 and $6 before the changes.

While this isn’t something that could push thousands of people away from using Evernote, some will look for alternatives to Evernote, enabling syncing with an unlimited number of devices.

Can Outlook be a replacement for Evernote when it comes to managing notes?

Can you switch from Evernote to Outlook to manage notes and maintain the level of experience? It is definitely possible, but requires some tweaks to make Outlook share notes the same as Evernote. One of the reasons why Evernote became so popular is because it allowed its users to easily sync notes across any device running on any operating systems. It was pushed to the limits when the iTunes lost the ability to sync notes, leaving thousands of people without a reliable way of transferring notes to their iOS devices.
