| What it does | Opens straight into a blank note you can type in without signing up | Sticky notes that sync with your Google account and can read a photo | Builds a workspace out of pages and databases instead of a folder of files | A 25-minute timer with a task list and nothing else on the screen |
| What it costs you | No sign-upWorks the moment the page loads. No account, no email, no trial. | Free accountFree to use, but you have to register before it will do the job. | Free tierA genuinely usable free tier with paid plans for volume or team features. | No sign-upWorks the moment the page loads.

| Where it stops | Notes written without an account are readable by anyone with the link, and attachments are a paid feature. | There are no folders or nesting — only labels and colours, which stops scaling after a few hundred notes. | Free accounts cannot upload a file larger than 5 MB, and page history only goes back seven days. | The free version is ad-supported and caps you at three task templates; projects and CSV export are premium. |
