When Evernote is the right tool
Evernote invented digital note-keeping: notebooks, a strong web clipper and years of history. If your workflow is built on notebooks and you type most of your notes, it still does that job.
Why people add WhatLater
Evernote still waits for you to open it, pick a notebook and file things yourself — and the free plan is tightly capped. WhatLater lives where your saves already happen (WhatsApp), tags and summarizes them for you, and stays genuinely useful for free.
Moving over is easy too — Settings → Import accepts Evernote exports, and everything arrives tagged.
