Both tools do their category well, but the specifics differ. Here's what each one is good at and where it tends to fall short.
Dewey is a niche tool aimed at one specific problem: saving and organising bookmarks from social platforms. It ingests from X, Bluesky, LinkedIn, Threads, TikTok, Instagram, Reddit, Mastodon, Substack, and Truth Social, and puts them in a unified library with AI auto-tagging and nested folders. Browser extension (Chrome) and web app only, no native mobile. Pricing: Free (manual sync, one account), Pro at $10/mo monthly or $7.50/mo annually, Lifetime at $225, and an $8.50 one-off 'Export Pass' that unlocks the export feature for 48 hours without a full subscription.
Evernote is the grandfather of note-taking apps and the inventor of the modern Web Clipper. After Bending Spoons acquired it in 2022, the product was rebuilt, repriced, and refocused on a more AI-forward direction. The current plans are Free (50 notes total), Starter ($8.25/mo or $99/yr), Advanced ($14.17/mo or $249.99/yr), and Enterprise. Advanced includes the full AI suite: AI Transcribe, AI Rewrite, AI Text-to-Speech, AI Meeting Notes, AI Diagrams, and AI Detector. The Web Clipper still saves full page context (not just links) and is the feature that pulls read-later workflows into Evernote's orbit.
