Which is cheapest — Notion, Coda, or Evernote?

For individual use: Evernote Personal at $9.99/month is cheapest. Notion Plus is $10/user/month. Coda Team is $20/month flat (not per user, covers up to 20 people). For a team of 10 people: Notion = $100/month, Coda = $20/month (flat), Evernote Teams = $149.90/month. Coda is dramatically cheaper for teams — 80% less than Notion for a 10-person team.

Is Coda better than Notion for teams?

Coda wins on price for teams of 5–20: flat $20/month vs Notion's $10/user (scales with team size). Coda has better automation and formula capabilities. Notion is better for wikis, public sharing, and has more templates. For teams needing collaborative documents with automation, Coda is better value. For knowledge bases and personal notes alongside team docs, Notion is more versatile.

What are the limits of Evernote free plan?

Evernote free limits: 60MB upload per month, 25MB per note, sync to 2 devices only, no offline access. These are significant limits for heavy note-takers. Evernote Personal ($9.99/month) removes device limits, adds 10GB monthly uploads, offline access, and web clipper Pro. For simple note-taking on one device, the free tier works; for heavy use, Personal is essential.

Notion vs Evernote — what's the key difference?

Evernote is a note-taking app focused on capturing and organizing information (web clips, handwriting, PDFs). Notion is an all-in-one workspace combining notes, databases, wikis, and project management. Evernote has better OCR search within images/PDFs. Notion has relational databases and a flexible block editor. For pure note-taking, Evernote is better. For teams combining docs + tasks + wikis, Notion wins.

Key Insights

Coda dominates for teams 5–20 people: The flat $20/mo Team plan covers everyone. Notion and Evernote scale linearly, making them expensive for mid-sized teams.
Notion for ambitious all-in-one needs: If you need databases, formulas, and wikis all in one place, Notion is the only true choice (Coda is docs-first).
Evernote for pure note-taking: Cheapest for individuals ($9.99/mo), but loses on features and team collaboration. Best if you only need notes, not projects/docs.
Notion raised prices in March 2026: Plus ($8→$10) and Team ($15→$18). Coda and Evernote prices stable.
