Capture it first. AI sorts it. Don't think. Just drop it in. Notes go to Note. To-dos go to Do. Groceries go to Buy. All on your device.

Send it back to Box with one tap. Turn off AI SORT in the input bar to keep things in Box. Type "Add a project called Garden" to create a project or a Do list.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Box at none against Note Together's shown. Box also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 2 weeks) and device support (3 vs 1). Note Together's advantage is iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
