Comment on Show HN: Our weekend project – PaperSync, notebook scanning as a serviceparent

Comments

I've purchased a Mod Notebook and am waiting for it to be delivered. They launched first, so I get to compare you to them naturally.

Mod Notebook Pros: -Notebook and scanning included ($25) -Only less $10 than Moleskine and includes digitization, syncing -Prepaid shipping envelope -Native Mod App to read notes -Syncs with Dropbox, OneNote, Evernote

Mod Notebook Cons: -Shipping delays in the current order, still waiting after a month from unexpected high demand on their part -$5 more expensive than you guys

Papersync Pros: -Cheaper ($20) -Can use any notebook

Papersync Cons: -Mailing cost not included -$5 less but no notebook -No dedicated app -No apparent syncing

On first impression I would splurge the extra $5 for Mod Notebooks every time. I would definitely consider you guys for old notebooks I have already used up - but I would expect the cost to be closer to $15 for future notebooks to save against Mod. Good luck!
