If you don’t already have it installed, it’s a free download from the various App stores. Since I already had it installed with my Office 365 subscription, I figure I might as well jump in with both feet. I think it’s a do-or-die test to see if Evernote is really a viable business. So, I can understand trimming the free plan to push people into paying for their service, but to also increase the price for their premium services by 30%-33%, seems to punish their loyal paying users and that’s what worries me. Obviously, you can’t be a going concern if you give away your core product for free which Evernote has been doing since it’s inception. Personally, I think the abrupt and significant change smacks of a desperate company and one that is in deep financial trouble. That said, I’d happily pony up for the paid license if I didn’t take into consideration what this all could really mean. I suppose they figured that you could always leverage the web version, but you give up some features that way. Sure, $3 a month is not much to pay, but with subscriptions to Adobe Creative Cloud, Microsoft Office 365, Spotify, etc., I’m not too keen on adding yet another subscription. If they had made it three, I probably could have worked with that. The two-device limit with the Basic plan just doesn’t work for me.
This article covers my thought process of moving to OneNote as well as offering some tips on the migration process. Based on my research, Microsoft’s OneNote seemed to be the best alternative. I’ve been an Evernote user from practically their start, but time marches on and with the new device count and price changes, I thought it was time to try and probably move on to something else.
