Echo vs Noteastic

Both stand on note-taking apps. Which one you can start free with, which one lets you read the code, and what each costs once you pay.

Noteastic focuses on handwritten Windows notes with local storage, PDF markup, and notebook organization. The free Base plan covers core note-taking, while Pro adds extra annotation and recognition tools; cloud sync is not yet available.
