5 Reasons Krokanti Notes is the Best Evernote Alternative in 2025

Evernote raised prices and cut its free tier. Here's why Krokanti Notes is the best alternative: free on all devices, Markdown, version history, and no bloat.

February 17, 2025·4 min read·Krokanti Notes Blog

Evernote was the king of note-taking for over a decade. But in 2023, everything changed: they limited the free plan to a single device, raised Personal plan prices to $14.99/month, and the app grew heavier and slower with every update.

Millions of users started looking for alternatives. If you're one of them, you're in the right place.

Here are five concrete reasons why Krokanti Notes is the best Evernote alternative in 2025.


1. Free on all your devices — no limits

Evernote's free tier now allows only one device. Use it on your laptop and you can't access your notes on your phone. It's one of the most user-hostile pricing moves in recent memory.

Krokanti Notes is a web app. It works on every device with a browser — your Mac, your Windows PC, your Android phone, your iPad. There are no device limits, ever, including on the free plan.

2. Markdown that actually works

Evernote has a rich text editor that's decent, but Markdown support is limited and inconsistent. If you write in Markdown and paste it into Evernote, you get a mess.

Krokanti Notes uses Tiptap, one of the best open-source editors available. Type your Markdown as you go — headers, bold, lists, code blocks, blockquotes — and they render in real time, beautifully.

## My Heading
**Bold text** and *italic text*
- Item 1
- Item 2
`inline code` and full code blocks

It just works.


3. Version history — on the free plan

Evernote has version history. But it's a paid feature, and even on paid plans the UI for accessing previous versions is clunky.

Krokanti Notes saves a version snapshot automatically on every edit. The free plan keeps the last 10 versions of each note. Pro keeps 50. Restoring a previous version takes one click.

If you've ever lost an hour of writing because you accidentally deleted a paragraph, version history is not a nice-to-have — it's essential.


4. Share any note publicly with one toggle

Evernote has note sharing, but it's buried in menus and requires the reader to have an Evernote account (or deal with a slow public view).

Krokanti Notes lets you toggle any note to public and get a clean shareable URL instantly. Share your recipe, your study guide, your project brief — no account needed for the reader.


5. A fraction of the price

Evernote Personal costs $14.99/month ($179.88/year). That's a lot for a notes app.

Krokanti Notes Pro costs €2.99/month. That's 80% cheaper for all the features most users actually need: unlimited version history, unlimited public shares, and 1 GB of storage.

And the free plan? Genuinely useful — unlimited notes, search, folders, tags, 10 version snapshots, and one public share.


The bottom line

If Evernote is charging you $14.99/month and you're not using the advanced features — web clipper, document scanning, email forwarding — you're overpaying for a note-taking app.

Krokanti Notes gives you the core of what makes note-taking useful: a fast editor, instant search, folders and tags, version history, and cross-device sync. For free.
