Is Evernote Better than Google Drive?

Is Evernote Better than Google Drive?

Evernote is an application that can be used on a smartphone, tablet, computer, and more. On this app, you can take notes on one device, and it will show up on all other devices that have access to your Evernote account. There are other things you can do on Evernote as well, like make a reminder, make an audio recording, or make a handwritten note. The main application is free, but there are also 2 paid plans, the “Premium Plan” is $7.99 a month, and “Evernote Business” is $14.99 a month.  

Are the paid plans worth it?

1. It seems like the Premium and Business versions are only beneficial if you are planning on using this app professionally. 

2. For a regular person, however, it doesn’t seem like it would be paramount to use either of the paid versions. 

Comparison to Google Drive

Google Drive	Evernote
Automatic backup for up to 15 GB of data in the free version All notes are kept scattered in your drive No written notes are available, and must be typed Select from many different unique fonts	Only can upload up to 60 MB per month in the free version Can organize notes in a notebook for easy reading Ability to use drawings in notes, and make written sketches Only very basic fonts are available to use

Many of the sources I looked at were from websites comparing Google Drive and Evernote. I also viewed the official Evernote account to compare the differences in their plans. It seems like Evernote would be more useful only for taking notes, while Google Drive would be more useful for many different things. So, overall both are good options to choose from, and depend on how you will use it.
