The Verdict
Capacities is built for knowledge workers and researchers, with a focus on object-types and daily-notes. Evernote targets note takers and researchers and leads with notes and web-clipper.
Both tools come in at similar price points ($9.99/mo for Capacities, $10.83/mo for Evernote), so pricing won't make the decision for you.
Both offer free plans, so you can test each with your real workflow before committing to a subscription.
Capacities edges out on user ratings (4.4 vs 3.8). While both are well-regarded, that gap reflects real differences in user satisfaction worth considering.
Both tools are a solid fit for knowledge workers, researchers — in those cases, the decision often comes down to workflow style and how your team prefers to organize work.
Bottom line: Capacities has a slight overall edge — but if great web clipper matters most to you, Evernote may still be the right call.
