Evernote's free plan gives you 25MB monthly upload and 2 devices. That's barely usable in practice. TaskLoco offers two actually useful free options — Lite (20 notes, no account) and Lite Plus+ (30 synced notes).
If you need premium features, TaskLoco Premium costs $4.99/month per person for charter members versus Evernote Personal at $7.99/month. The question isn't whether TaskLoco is cheaper — it's whether Evernote's web clipper and document scanning justify paying 60% more.
TaskLoco Premium is regularly $9.99/month per person. Right now, charter members can lock in 50% off the regular price — forever. That means $4.99/month per person today. And if our price ever goes up, you still pay half. Always.

Every Premium subscription includes unlimited notes, 10GB file storage, reminders, calendar, and team sharing. Each team member requires a separate subscription. 7-day free trial — no charge until day 8. Cancel anytime.

Free Tier Reality Check
Evernote's free plan is a cruel joke. You get 25MB monthly upload — that's roughly 12-15 photos or a few PDFs. Use it up by mid-month and you're stuck until next month. Plus you're limited to 2 devices, so forget accessing notes from your phone, laptop, and tablet.
TaskLoco Lite gives you 20 notes stored locally on your phone with zero upload limits. No account required, works completely offline. TaskLoco Lite Plus+ bumps you to 30 notes that sync across all devices with no monthly limits.
Premium Pricing: $4.99 vs $7.99
TaskLoco Premium costs $4.99/month per person for charter members (regular price $9.99). Each team member needs their own subscription — no shared accounts or enterprise minimums. You get unlimited notes, 10GB file storage, reminders, calendar view, and team sharing.
Evernote Personal runs $7.99/month for 10GB storage and basic features. Their Professional plan jumps to $9.99/month for 20GB. Teams start at $12.99/month per user for shared notebooks and admin controls.
Evernote's advantage is document scanning, web clipping, and handwriting recognition. TaskLoco focuses on simple note-taking, file attachments, and team collaboration without the bloat.
Web Clipping: Evernote's Killer Feature
Evernote's web clipper remains the gold standard for saving articles, PDFs, and web content with formatting intact. Their scanning app turns receipts and documents into searchable text. These are genuinely useful features TaskLoco doesn't match.
TaskLoco's Chrome extension captures webpages as simple notes — no formatting preservation, no OCR scanning. It's basic but fast for quick references.
If you live in research mode, clipping articles and scanning documents daily, Evernote justifies the extra cost. If you mainly need notes, tasks, and file sharing, TaskLoco does it for less money and complexity.
Team Collaboration Comparison
TaskLoco Premium includes full team sharing — shared notes, real-time updates, email notifications. Every team member needs their own $4.99/month subscription. No enterprise minimums or seat counting.
Evernote Teams starts at $12.99/month per user with shared notebooks and admin controls. Their Business plan hits $20.83/month per user for advanced permissions and integrations.
For basic team note sharing, TaskLoco costs 62% less than Evernote Teams. For advanced enterprise features like SSO and compliance, Evernote wins by having them at all.

Can TaskLoco replace Evernote's web clipper?

Can TaskLoco scan documents like Evernote?
No. TaskLoco doesn't have built-in document scanning or OCR text recognition. You can attach photos and PDFs manually, but Evernote's scanning app with searchable text is a major advantage for document-heavy workflows.
Is TaskLoco good for teams compared to Evernote?
For basic team sharing, yes. TaskLoco Premium includes shared notes and real-time collaboration at $4.99/month per person. Evernote Teams costs $12.99/month per user but adds admin controls and enterprise features TaskLoco doesn't have.
Which has better search — TaskLoco or Evernote?
Evernote wins with OCR text recognition in images and documents, plus advanced search filters. TaskLoco offers full-text search across notes and attachments, which covers most needs but lacks Evernote's sophisticated search capabilities.
