Samsung Notes

Pros

  • Free with no subscription and preinstalled on Galaxy devices
  • Low-latency S Pen handwriting with handwriting-to-text conversion
  • PDF import and annotation for planner and document workflows
  • Audio recording synced to what you wrote at the time
  • Syncs across Galaxy devices and integrates with Microsoft OneNote feed

Cons

  • No iPhone or iPad app and no browser version
  • Windows app is limited to Samsung Galaxy Book PCs
  • Organization relies on folders only, with light task features
  • No built-in calendar layer for planning workflows

Nebo (MyScript Notes)

Pros

  • Handwriting recognition and reflow in structured documents stay a standout workflow
  • Boards give a true infinite canvas next to fixed notebooks and PDF imports
  • Math, diagrams, and shape cleanup export cleanly to Office-friendly formats
  • Cloud sync through a MyScript account plus iCloud (Apple), Google Drive, or Dropbox
  • One mobile purchase can cover up to several devices across iOS and Android (per store policy)

Cons

  • Mobile app rebranding to MyScript Notes can confuse legacy “Nebo” search results
  • Windows Nebo licensing is separate from the mobile subscription bundle
  • Windows edition is in maintenance mode with no major new features promised
  • Not a calendar-first planner: tasks and reminders are light compared with dedicated planners
