The Real Difference
Both offer free tiers, so the real question is what you get when you start paying.
Capacities stands out with Object-based note system and Daily notes and journals. Evernote counters with Web clipper and Document scanning.
Capacities's Achilles heel: young product with missing features — no api, limited integrations, and collaboration is early-stage. Evernote's: has been declining for years — frequent price hikes, lost features, and the free plan is now nearly unusable at 1 device. Pick whichever weakness you can live with.
Bottom Line
If you value object-based note system and visual thinkers who want, go with Capacities. If people who clip a matters more, Evernote is your pick. Neither is a bad choice — but one will fit your workflow better.
