Which one is for you
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
Pick Notion if
- Fits if your team's docs, wiki and light project tracking sit in three tools and you want them in one
- Works for students and teachers at a college, since Plus is free with a school email
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you want to open an app and start typing, as you build the whole structure yourself
- Pricey if you want the AI agent or meeting notes, which need Business at $20 a person a month
- Tight if a second person joins the free plan: blocks get capped, uploads stop at 5 MB and history is 7 days
- Not for you if you're on Linux and want a desktop app, as Notion points you to the browser
- Watch out: custom agents cost $10 per 1,000 credits on top, and free users pick offline pages one by one
How we grade them
| 2.2GPAMyMemoFair | 3.2GPANotionVery good | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CPro is $5.90 a month billed yearly ($9.90 monthly), close to the category's $5.99 middle. Ultra is $11.90. | DPlus is $10 a person a month on yearly billing, and the dearest tenth of this category starts at $9.99, so Notion sits in it. Then the AI agent and meeting notes need Business at $20, which is over three times the $6 middle. It only adds up if it replaces tools you already pay for. |
| Free plan and trial | CThe free plan has no card, but 10 uploads, 10 link saves and 50 AI messages a month are easy to use up. | BOne person gets unlimited pages and blocks for nothing, plus 10 guests. Not an A though: file uploads stop at 5 MB, which any phone photo clears, page history is 7 days, you get 1 chart, and blocks are capped once a second member joins. |
| Features | CSaving, AI chat with numbered sources, summaries, transcripts and audio episodes. The listing's gaps: caps on uploads, saves and messages on every plan. | ADocs, wikis and databases you can show as a table, board, calendar or timeline, forms that fill a database, pages published as a website, automations, a separate calendar app and an AI agent. No other notes app here does that many jobs, though automations need Plus and the AI needs Business. |
| Ease of use | CNo store rating on record. You save material and set up collections before the AI has much to answer from. | A4.78 from about 90,000 App Store ratings, which is the top band. But you start on an empty workspace and decide the structure yourself, and "it took me ages to figure out" is the complaint we saw most. |
| Platforms and integrations | BWeb, iPhone, Android and a Chrome extension, with ChatGPT, Claude and MCP calls. No desktop app. | AWeb, Mac, Windows, iPhone, Android, a web clipper and a public API, and it talks to Slack, Google Drive, GitHub, Figma, Jira and Linear. The one hole is Linux, which gets the browser and no desktop app. |
| Best for | saving web pages and asking an AI about them | planning and all-in-one workspaces |

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.
