The review does not mention the face that Evernote allows you to upload any kind of file. It also does an automatic OCR on all files up load. I’ve used Evernote for over two years (daily) and tried OneNote. I was under-welmed by OneNote.

Springpad is a well-regarded competitor to Evernote. The functionality of the two products is fairly similar, with each product having areas of strength.

Springpad is committed to remaining free to use, and I’ve found the ways it generates revenue to be clever and unobtrusive.

I’ve switched entirely to Springpad because I’d have to pay for 4 premium accounts to give my family full capabilities in Evernote, and I find $180 a year to be excessive for non-business use.
