Learned today that Evernote is changing their prices and what is offered at each tier. I've been a premium (paid) user for many years and a fan of the service, but I think it is time to try something new. I currently use it for business and personal use.
Under the new plan, there is a still a free option, but it is limited to 60 megs a month and even worse, can only be synced with two devices. If continue using all your devices, you have to step up now to Evernote "Plus" which is about $4 a month or $35 a year. This comes with 1 gig of upload space each month. The "Premium" plan is now about $8 or $70 a year. It comes with 10GB of space a year. I currently have Premium, but the cost is only $45 a year. Wow, that's quite an increase! Does that mean Evernote is introducing lots of new, nifty features - apparently not!
Frankly, they must be high at Evernote. This seems like a massive miscalculation by the company. Evernote is just not competitive now with other options, especially Microsoft Office (which I already subscribe to). In all probability, I'll be switching to One Note. If I keep Evernote at all, it will be a free account only.
Another option (that I have yet to explore) is Google Keep. Extra storage space at Google is couple of bucks a month if needed and can be used for many purposes.
If you are in the same boat and want to switch to One Note, Microsoft is making it easy. Here's a program to import your data easily.
So long Evernote! Good luck trying to sell this to the public.
