Unlike EN which to get access across a range of devices, you need to subscribe. On the other hand, once you pay for DT, you don't ever have to pay again. It's harder to create nice notes to organize your thoughts/plans etc in DT. For one thing, you can't drag and drop notes to create note links. I can clip or email various reservations and then easily drag them into another note to create a nice little index of my trip. For example - I use EN for planning a trip. html, pdf, image etc).Īgain it depends what you use it for. The latter format breaks the notes into files that are readable by any app (i.e. Furthermore, as long as you have the desk top app, you can always export either in ENEX or html format even if shuts down. If EN shut up shop tomorrow with no way for anyone to export their notes, then that would be a disaster, but reality is that this is not going to happen. The main concern about EN (at least in my mind) was that the notes are curated in a proprietary format. Plus if you have multiple databases in DT, things can get a little confusing conceptually (at least to me). There's the added advantage that DT stores all the data in native formats, but I don't think that this is really as big a deal as proponents make it out to be. The bottom line is - what do you use EN for?ĭT is brilliant for collecting large amounts of data - in pdfs, web clips etc and then trying to make sense of it. I think it was in part because I read about concerns about EN's long term stability. I've been trying to make the switch to DT over the past month or so. If they had $3.95/month for 1 GB plan I'd be all over it. What they're charging now per month I can get 1 TB of storage from other places. Ps: I moved off of Evernote because of their ignorant pricing policies. Me and OneNote have a love-hate relationship :) If they can, I might have to dip my toes back in the water again and try it out. I see now that they're in BETA for an updated interface, which they've needed for a LONG time. I continue to buy upgrades though, because as a long-time developer I believe in supporting software I love (even if I don't use it any more). However, for me at this time in my life, DTP is like using a 50-pound sledgehammer to swat a fly. If I was like a professional researcher, professor, or something like that I'm sure I'd have continued to use the hell out of it. This thing is one incredibly powerful tool, but what a learning curve.
I've been an on/off user of DevonThink since May of 2008 when I bought my first copy of DevonThink Pro Office. I wish you luck (seriously, not being sarcastic!).
