# Evernote vs Craft

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Craft at 85% against Evernote's 51%. Craft also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.4). Evernote's advantage is ratings volume (78K vs 6.6K) and chart position (#21 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Evernote sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $13.95 per month and Craft sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Craft holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Evernote has 78K ratings behind it against 6.6K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 51% of Evernote's written reviews are positive against 85% of Craft's.

Evernote ships an update weekly, Craft every 10 days. Both last shipped on September 24, 2026.
