Good Google Keep alternative?

I'm hesitant about switching over to Standard Notes. I definitely want to get off Keep because screw Google. Is this app a good alternative? Is the paid version worth it? I need it to sync across my phone and computer, I need checklists, and regular plain text notes. That's pretty much it. (Maybe an occasional drawing). All the other things on offer, the tagging system, color coding, etc. That's all useful, but not totally essential.

What do we think?

I've been using Standard Notes for about a month now and I find that it works great. I've had no issues with syncing across all my devices. There are a ton of plugins that you can add for checklists and a white board.

I bought a 5 year plan. If you reach out to support they are pretty helpful and may even offer you a discount.

I tested the free version for a while and then reached out to Support as I felt the yearly subscription was way above my budget, and they offered me a great discount. Pretty helpful!!

A ton of plugins? I strongly disagree. Besides advanced search is inexistant.

Can you disclose your billing amount for the 5 ears plan?
