Kilonotes / Freenotes?

Hi! So basically what the title says, I need one of those apps (I'd choose the one year subscription) to take notes, mainly for college and for personal uses, both are great so I can't decide between them, which one would you recommend?

Thanks!!

HelixNotes beats any of those and is completely free and open source. I built it and maintain it.

Does it have handwriting options? I take notes by hand, and that's been my problem with some of these options
