Benefits of EachSpringpad has a more attractive interface and the task list is useful.

The ability to customize information based on note type (book, recipe, product, etc.) is convenient, as is the ability to add items by scanning the bar code.

Evernote has the ability to have subfolders and scan PDFs. It also runs OCR on handwritten notes.

Overall, I would recommend Springpad for general use, but Everlook may be more helpful for business or academic use due to the PDF search capabilities.
