Evernote is a long-running note app with a strong web clipper and apps for iOS, Android, Windows, Mac and the web. If most of what you clip is YouTube videos and articles you want to write from, MensorAI may fit better.
Last reviewed: October 2026. We make MensorAI, so we're biased. We've tried to be fair about Evernoteand to say where it's the better pick. Try both if you can.
MensorAI started as a YouTube note-taking tool for learners. Now it saves articles, passages and YouTube moments as you go, and when you sit down to write, you ask across all of them. Every answer links back to the passage it came from.
These are the things to know if you collect videos and articles to write from.
MensorAI saves your sources as you read and watch. When you write, you ask across all of them, and every claim links to the passage it came from.
The extension saves the moment you’re at in a YouTube video, with the captions around it and your own note. It saves articles and the passages you select too.
Ask a question across every video, article and note you saved. Answers come from the captions and text, and each claim links back to its passage.
A piece holds the claims you’ll use for one newsletter, article or script, under the questions it needs answered. Copy it into Docs, Notion or Substack when you write.
You can save without paying. Asking needs the 7-day trial or a plan, and plans start at $9 a month.
See how MensorAI and Evernote compare feature-by-feature.
Only if most of what you clip is sources for your writing. Evernote also handles scans, attachments, tasks and everyday notes, and it has apps for iOS, Android, Windows and Mac. MensorAI has no mobile app, and it only saves web articles, passages, YouTube moments and your own notes.
No, there’s no import from Evernote or other note apps. Keep Evernote for what’s already there and save new sources in MensorAI.
Saving is free. Asking and finding videos on YouTube need an active trial or a paid plan. You get a 7-day free trial of Pro features with a limited AI allowance. No credit card required. After that, plans are $9, $19 or $22 a month, and they differ only in how many AI requests you get per day.
