Xodo

Pros

  • Solid free tier for PDF viewing and ink annotation
  • Works on iOS, Android, Windows and in the browser
  • Handles PDF hyperlinks, so linked planner PDFs navigate correctly
  • Cloud storage connections (Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive)
  • Strong document tools: merge, convert, OCR with Pro

Cons

  • Document editor first: no notebooks, templates or planner features
  • No handwriting-to-text or handwriting search
  • No calendar layer, reminders or task features
  • Advanced tools sit behind a subscription

Ultimate Planner

Pros

  • Theming and planner skins stay the headline selling point
  • Google and Apple calendars sync into the layout grid
  • Tasks, stickers, and inserts mimic ring-bound paper systems
  • iPad and Android builds target handwriting-first shoppers
  • Habit widgets bundle without leaving the spread

Cons

  • Independent writeups are thinner than GoodNotes-class giants
  • Marketplace noise drowns honest benchmarks in blog spam
  • Setup depth runs higher than download-and-jot apps
  • Comparisons usually default to GoodNotes PDF imports first
