    Comments about Microsoft OneNote as an Alternative to Microsoft Loop

    It doesn't have the same collaborative features and is not a real-time collaborative experience, and doesn't support a lot of the mind-mapping constructs and concepts that Loop offers.

    Comments about AppFlowy as an Alternative to Microsoft Loop

    The interface is very similar to Microsoft Loop where you can create different types of content and nest them. The one thing that I do not like is the inability to paste images into a page.
