What it does
Grape combines notes, drawing canvas, attachments, voice recording, web clipping, note links, graph view, and hand-built flashcards or mind maps. Free is available without an account; Sync is $3/month, Plus is $9/month, and Pro is $19/month. The paid tiers add cross-device sync and different levels of AI tools, while the free tier keeps a local database on the user’s device.
Grape covers more than text capture: a note can include a drawing canvas, images, PDFs, voice recordings, links, and study tools. The free plan includes unlimited notes and a local database; Sync adds cross-device sharing and backups, while Plus and Pro add progressively broader AI capabilities. Sync starts at $3/month, Plus at $9, and Pro at $19. Buyers should compare the included AI features and storage, and decide whether they want the cloud processing that comes with some voice and AI tools.
