Comments about Google Keep as an Alternative to Microsoft OneNote
Far more basic than OneNote and not a comparable alternative
Keep is like sticky notes which is completely different from Onenote

Some users think Google Keep is a great Microsoft OneNote alternative, some don't.
- Google Keep is Free and Proprietary
- Google Keep is Lightweight


















I love Keep, but it's not anywhere near as detailed as OneNote. Keep is basically for making sticky notes, which is helpful, but OneNote has way more features. I know a lot of students, as well as myself, who use OneNote for taking school notes. You can draw, add tags to notes, and add formattings, such as fonts, colors, bullets, and number lists. You can even draw on top of things you type. You can't any of that in Google Keep.
