Instead of blocks, OneNote has paragraphs which are internally linkable to other paragraphs, notes, sections, and notebooks. Each block within a page is linkable to other blocks or pages. Useful for newbies who can find so many options and flexibility overwhelming and confusing. Then there are templates for taking notes like knowledge base, to-do lists, projects, and even database. Also, there is no limit to how deep you can go with pages like a page within a page and so on.Įach block in Notion is freely movable inside the page and outside it. That opens up so many possibilities and offers many ways to customize your workflow. These blocks can be text, audio, table, gallery, Kanban style board, video, code, wikis and more. Notion takes a new approach of letting you create pages inside which you can then create blocks.
There are browser extensions that you can use to clip web pages or part thereof. These notes can be tagged and filed in sections and notebooks and are searchable on all devices. OneNote will let you create notes in a variety of formats like text, audio, and image notes. On the flip side, search and other options are placed at the top instead of bottom making them hard to reach. Notion has a handy sidebar that makes it easier to hop between pages and notes without too many taps to go back and forth. That makes it cumbersome and time-consuming. Typically, you have to choose a notebook and drill down from sections to notes. You can drill down into pages from the sidebar, similar to how most note-taking apps work. Instead of notebooks and sections, there are pages where you can create blocks (more on that later). An age-old way to take notes, digitized for the modern world. OneNote takes a notebook approach where you can create notes that rest in sections which are further stored inside notebooks.
UI and Layoutīoth OneNote and Notion come with a neat layout where notes and other elements are easily accessible. Let’s see if Notion is all that it claims to be and whether it can replace OneNote for good. Notion claims to bring the best of both the worlds by offering a new block-based layout which is usable as a note-taking app, Kanban tool, and to-do list. Lately, OneNote got beefed up with new features and is especially preferred by those who are rooted in the Microsoft ecosystem and use Office 365. Evernote started losing customers to a new player in the market called Notion. One of them is Evernote which was the darling child of the Silicon Valley until controversy hit the headlines. That said, it has been losing customers to the competition gradually. Microsoft OneNote has been around for about 15 years now and is one of the most powerful note-taking apps.
