If you already have a Microsoft account, and especially if you already pay for OneDrive storage, using OneNote makes sense. OneNote's free version is much more generous than Evernote's.

The only app that comes close to Evernote's prowess is Microsoft OneNote, which is also an Editors' Choice for note-taking apps. If you need the best, most capable note-taking app and you can afford to pay for Evernote Premium or Business, it's worthwhile. The high price is a turnoff for many, and the free version is inadequate for most. That said, it's not the best fit for everyone. Nevertheless, in terms of functionality, you'll be hard-pressed to find a service that does everything Evernote does, which is why it remains an Editors' Choice. Evernote has long been a leader among note-taking apps, though the company has taken its fair share of criticism over the years for hiking prices, gutting the free version, and not addressing major concerns that power users raise.

When it comes to taking notes and using them to get work done, having an app that syncs across all your devices and has a browser version, too, is indispensable.
