Evernote built a reputation as the ultimate digital filing cabinet. TaskLoco built itself as a task completion machine. The difference matters more than you think.
Evernote wants to be your second brain for capturing everything. TaskLoco wants to be your productivity engine for finishing what matters. Both use notes as the foundation, but they solve completely different problems. One helps you remember. The other helps you execute.
TaskLoco Premium is regularly $9.99/month per person. Right now, charter members can lock in 50% off the regular price — forever. That means $4.99/month per person today. And if our price ever goes up, you still pay half. Always.

Task Management: Built-In vs Bolted-On
TaskLoco treats every note as a potential task. Add a reminder, set a due date, check it off when complete. The entire interface revolves around getting things done, not just storing things away.
Evernote added task functionality recently with Evernote Tasks, but it feels like an afterthought. You create notes in one place, tasks in another. The integration exists but doesn't feel natural. Most Evernote users still rely on third-party tools like Todoist or Asana for actual task management.
Evernote shines when you need to research, clip articles, and build knowledge bases. TaskLoco excels when you need to turn ideas into completed work. If your notes are reference material, choose Evernote. If your notes are action items, choose TaskLoco.
Team Collaboration: Real-Time vs Email Notifications
TaskLoco Premium includes full team sharing with real-time updates. Share a note with your team, and everyone sees changes instantly. Email notifications keep remote team members in the loop without requiring constant app checking.
Evernote's collaboration works differently. You share notebooks or individual notes, but the experience feels more like Google Docs than a team task manager. Comments and chat exist, but they're designed for document collaboration rather than project execution.
For distributed teams working on shared projects, TaskLoco's approach makes more sense. Everyone sees the same information, updates happen in real-time, and the focus stays on completion rather than discussion. Evernote works better for teams that need to share research, meeting notes, and reference documents.
Storage and File Handling: 10GB vs 10GB (But Different)
Both TaskLoco Premium and Evernote Professional include 10GB of file storage, but they handle attachments completely differently. TaskLoco treats files as part of the task workflow. Attach a PDF to a note, set a reminder to review it, share it with your team.
Evernote's strength lies in its file indexing and search capabilities. Upload a PDF and Evernote can search the text inside it. Attach an image and it can recognize text within the image. For research and reference, this is incredibly powerful.
If you need to store and later retrieve large amounts of information, Evernote's advanced search wins. If you need files attached to specific tasks that teams can access and act on, TaskLoco's approach works better.
Pricing Reality: Simple vs Complex
$9.99/month per person (currently $4.99/month per person for first 500 charter members with code CHARTER50)
Evernote Personal costs $14.99/month for 10GB and basic features. Evernote Professional runs $17.99/month for advanced search, integrations, and team features. Evernote Teams starts at $20/month per user with admin controls and more storage.
The pricing philosophy differs completely. TaskLoco keeps it simple: one premium tier with everything included. Evernote segments features across multiple tiers, pushing power users toward the most expensive options.
For individuals who need basic task management with file storage, TaskLoco costs less and delivers more relevant features. For teams, the gap widens significantly. Evernote Teams at $20/month per user costs four times more than TaskLoco Premium, even at regular pricing.
