Switching from Evernote to NoteMee
Evernote pioneered digital note-taking. But 2026 Evernote isn't 2012 Evernote — and at $14.99/mo for Personal, neither is the price.
Evernote vs NoteMee — honest comparison
Where Evernote wins
- OCR search inside images and PDFs
- Web clipper with 15 years of refinement
- Offline notebooks on mobile (with paid plan)
- Deep integrations with enterprise tools
Where NoteMee wins
- Free forever with no device limit (Evernote Free = 1 device)
- Real-time collaborative editing — Evernote has no live collab
- Modern block editor with slash commands and @-mentions
- Native task lists with subtasks and due dates
- No 50-note limit on the free plan (NoteMee gives 100)
- Half the price: NoteMee Pro is £8.99/mo vs Evernote Personal at $14.99
How to switch — 5 steps
- 1
Export from Evernote
In Evernote desktop, select your notebooks → File → Export → choose ENEX format. This preserves your note content, tags, and creation dates.
- 2
Create your NoteMee account
Sign up free at notemee.com. No card, no device limit, no notebook cap.
- 3
Import your notes
Use NoteMee's Markdown import — convert your ENEX files to Markdown first using a free tool like Yarle (github.com/akosbalasko/yarle), then drag the Markdown files into NoteMee.
- 4
Organise with projects and tags
NoteMee uses projects (like Evernote notebooks) and tags. Recreate the ones you actively use — don't migrate your entire 2014 tag taxonomy, just what matters now.

Set up tasks
If you used Evernote's task checkboxes, create proper task lists in NoteMee with priorities, due dates, and subtasks. It's a native feature, not an afterthought.
Your notes deserve a home that's fast, modern, and doesn't charge you per device.
Free forever. No card. Takes 10 seconds.
