The Real Difference

Both offer free tiers, so the real question is what you get when you start paying.

Craft stands out with Beautiful native Apple design and Nested documents and folders. Evernote counters with Web clipper and Search inside images and PDFs.

Craft's Achilles heel: apple ecosystem only — windows and android users are second-class citizens at best. 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 beautiful native apple design and apple users who want, go with Craft. If people who clip a matters more, Evernote is your pick. Neither is a bad choice — but one will fit your workflow better.
