Which one is for you
Pick Capacities if
- Fits if you think in people, books and projects rather than folders
- Works for people who jot in a daily note first, or send things in from WhatsApp or email
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you need a shared team workspace, as there are no team plans and sharing is view-only
- Pricey if you want tasks, AI, calendar or version history, which need Pro at $9.99 a month billed yearly
- Not for you if you need end-to-end encryption, which its own documentation says it doesn't have
- Watch out: Pro's AI has a monthly budget, and raising it is the Plus add-on at $8.33 a month on top
- Tight if you store a lot of media on free, capped at 5 GB in all and then 100 MB a month
Pick MyMemo if
- Fits if you save lots of reading and want answers drawn from it
- Works for people who clip from Chrome and ask questions on a phone
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you stay free: 10 link saves and 10 uploads a month
- Pricey if you pay monthly: $9.90 for Pro and $19.90 for Ultra
- Watch out: Pro caps AI chat at 1,000 messages a month and links at 1,000
- Watch out: the M-NOTE voice recorder is a separate $199 product, with transcription minutes capped per plan

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
