Which one is for you

Pick reMarkable if

  • Fits if you want a screen with no apps or notifications for handwriting and reading
  • Works for people who mark up Word and Google Docs files by hand

Look elsewhere if

  • Pricey if you want colour or the pen bundle: prices shown are the starting configuration
  • Tight if you skip Connect: files not touched in 50 days leave the cloud and the apps can't take notes
  • Watch out: the site says it doesn't ship to every country, and sells from its own web shop
  • Not for you if you want a try-before-you-buy: only a 50-day return period

Pick Supernote if

  • Fits if you want to write by hand and keep the notes without paying a subscription
  • Works for people who read and mark up documents on a paper-like screen

Look elsewhere if

  • Pricey if you only want to take notes: $359 for the tablet, and pens and folios cost extra
  • Not for you if you want to try the product first, as there is no trial and only a 30-day return window
  • Watch out: no price is given for Supernote Cloud or the partner apps
  • Too light for typed notes, search and team sharing, since the device is built for handwriting

Value for money
CPaper Pure is $399, Paper Pro Move $449 and Paper Pro $629 as starting prices, plus Connect at $3.99 a month or $39.90 a year if you want the full set of features. It is hardware, so we set it against other tablets, not note apps.
C$359 for the Nomad and $505 for the Manta, bought once, with no subscription listed. It is hardware, so it sits next to other tablets like reMarkable at $399, not next to note apps.
Free plan and trial

    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.
