this2that vs Obsidian's Importer plugin

Importer is the official Obsidian plugin for bringing notes in from other apps, Evernote among them. You install it from Obsidian's community plugins, choose Evernote (.enex), pick your export file, check the preview it shows, and import. Its code is open source (MIT), and its README credits yarle for the Evernote import. Obsidian itself is free, with no license needed for work use.

Where Obsidian Importer is stronger

  • It's free, and so is Obsidian. We charge after the first 50 notes.
  • It works inside the Obsidian app on the file you pick, so nothing is uploaded anywhere.
  • It's the official plugin, open source, and it imports from many other apps too, from Apple Notes and OneNote to Notion and Google Keep.
  • It can rebuild notebook stacks as folders if you rename each export file to Stack@@@Notebook. We keep notebooks as folders, but not stacks.

Where this2that is stronger

  • Nothing to install, and one export converts for four apps: Obsidian, Apple Notes, UpNote or Markdown. Converting the same notes for another app later is free.
  • Links between notes are matched by title across every notebook you convert and become [[links]], with any that can't be matched counted in a report.
  • Photos and PDFs keep their own names in one Attachments folder and are embedded where they were in the note.
  • Web clips are cleaned down to the article, and the address of the clipped page is kept as a property.
  • Browse every notebook and preview any note before you convert, and check the first 50 notes in Obsidian for free.

Which one should you use?

Start with the Importer: it's free, official, and for a few notebooks it may be all you need. If you're moving thousands of notes and want links, attachments and web clips checked in a report, or you might want the same notes in another app later, this2that converts the same .enex files.
