Google Keep vs Apple Notes

Both Google Keep and Apple Notes are very simple note-taking and to-do apps. Differences between them are subtle.

Google Keep

Google Keep has many of the same things as Notes. It's a simple, clean, and easy-to-use note-taking app. Tagging, reminders, and recordings are some of the unique features that differentiate it from Notes.

Apple Notes

Not surprisingly, Notes stands out as a more polished, aesthetically pleasing product. It supports more formatting options such as bold, italic, tables, lists, and subheadings. The cherry on top is the super-useful document scanning feature. If you're into Apple's ecosystem, Notes is hands down a better choice, unless you really need tagging. Reminders and recordings are available as separate Reminders and Voice Memos apps on iOS.
