Microsoft releases OneNote import tool for Mac users

Microsoft has launched OneNote import tool for Mac users . This allows Evernote users on Mac platform to make a switch to OneNote and the timing of the move is brilliant. Earlier in March , the company launched a similar tool for its Windows users and since has imported 71 million Evernote pages to OneNote. The company has highlighted the differences starting off from the fact that OneNote is a free service while Evernote has three tiers of plans ranging from basic to premium. The price for Evernote premium was again increased to $69 per year in June this year forcing people to search for alternatives.

One thing to note is that the pricing varies from region to region. Office 365 Personal subscriptions  is priced at Rs 3299 while the Evernote Premium subscription stands at Rs 1500 in India. But Office 365 provides the entire Microsoft Office suite to users in addition to OneNote at the same price. It can be used on all platforms across multiple devices (one tablet, one PC or Mac and one phone in addition to web access to online versions) and provides users with 1TB OneDrive cloud storage. The free service by Evernote limits the user to two devices the upload limit capped at 60MB per month. There is no access to customer support, offline notebooks, search, annotation or access any related content. On the other hand, OneNote has no monthly cap for upload per month and you can sync across multiple devices. The strategy used by Microsoft is brilliant which emphasises its services at the same price point while Evernote struggles with internal restructuring and killing off apps as reported by TechCrunch .
