CHEAP Apple Pencil Alternatives - under $50

Apple Pencil for iPad, iPad Air and iPad Pro is expensive, and not everyone needs or wants pressure sensitivity for note taking and general productivity. That's why I decided to scour Amazon to find the 3 best Apple Pencil alternatives under $50! In this video I go over the individual styluses, go over their individual strengths, weaknesses and unique characteristics in order to help you choose the right one!

I own the $33 but was on sale for $25 when I purchased it! Works fantastic, and I highly recommend using it! I use it with my IPAD 8th gen! Also he forgot to mention that alot of these pens come with extra tips in the packing which the more expensive Apple Pencil does not!

[@AX-fx7ng]

Do any of these work with the iPad Pro 12.9 2017 Second Gen? i.e. First Gen Pencil iPads?

[@pressrepeat2000]

You can also use a first gen Apple Pencil on the new iPads if you connect it through a Bluetooth app (as officially they won’t connect otherwise) and it works well except you won’t get tilt or pressure sensitivity. Tilt sensitivity is quite a good feature for drawing.

Actually just got the JamJake one to give my nephew for his iPad Mini since we set him up with OneNote for school and a pdf planner he can write with and it’s perfect for his use case compared to my Apple Pencil. Plus I trust him more with a $30 pen than a $100+ one.

Thank you man. I just bought a new iPad for my little cousin starting at Udubb (University of Washington). I already spent $600, well $700 with the apple care and screen shield things. I really didn't didn't want to spend another $120 for the pen. Even though the $20 was the best budget. I went with the $25 because it magnetically sticks to the i-pad. For a student like my cousin. She has pens everywhere. Having one pen that is magnetic will make a huge difference for her. Great video. From Portland, Oregon ✌🏿🙋🏾‍♂️

I was going to buy an Apple Pencil 2 for my iPad Air 4 but didn’t like the fact i could only charge it by removing the iPad case. ( I’m bigger fan of thicker cases that sit better on my lap rather than the trifold ones) at least there are some cheaper alternatives that will allow me to do the same thing with an alternative charging method.

[@leslielewis3564]

Im so glad I never have to watch a video again on a cheapo stylus cause I now have the apple pencil got mine brand new (from someone who didn't want it they missed the 14 day return time) I saved $60 off brand new price so happy and I love it I'm trying to find ways to use it every day.

[@d11ita]

Good useful video. The Adonit is a premium one and it's in the Logitech Crayon territory (when it's discounted), but the last one can be tilted to adjust line thickness. I'm about to buy the iPad 8 but maybe it's better to wait a little longer to find out if the rumors of a new update in the spring are true, with significant changes and 64 GB of storage in the base model.

I've had the JamJake one but actually the tip looked a bit different than the model shown in this video; It was more like the one on the original Apple Pencil 2nd Gen. It was great but I've now ditched it for another Apple Pencil alternative which works exactly like the JamJake but also features the wireless charging when attached magnetically to the side of an iPad. Talking about the Goojodoq 13th Gen if anyone is curious.

Hi. Thanks for this. I watched your review before going for one of these. In fact I ordered 3 which looked the same to see the differences. Actually there are a few. They all seem to use a different tip. Have you found any replacement tips for the one you reviewed? And do you have any idea how long a tip lasts? If I burn through 4 tips a year then that means buying 2 styluses a year and the cost soon mounts.

[@meljenkins1016]

Thanks for the heads up on the pressure sensitivity. I assume these cheap pens are not meant to be pressure sensitive like the Apple pen. Therefore, I'm just gonna have to fork out $99 for the Apple pen for pressure sensitivity.

[@sandypham8685]

As a current college freshman I say it does depend on your usage. Using the iPad for high school is different from college but I’ve never gone over 32 GB of storage. If you have an external storage for archiving old files off of your iPad, and you use google or some other platform that stores your stuff, you’ll won’t go over the 50GB threshold. Plus, videos take the most storage so if you aren’t taking videos, 256 is a lot of space. The way you phrased “if I really need” sound to me that you’d like to get a cheaper and smaller iPad if you could, so maybe a 128 or even 64 would be fine in this scenario

I don’t think the names matter apart from the Adonit. Basically there are tons of Apple Pencil one and two clones. You’ll either get one that looks like the one or the other which looks like the two. You can usually tell which is which by the tips. What I want to know is how long they last and their durability. The Chinese clones can be great at first and then junk after a month. Seems reviewers don’t bother with follow ups and just use apple pencils and don’t actually use these apart from reviews, so people could end up buying junk styluses.
