Those plans start at $14.99 monthly, although Evernote has discounted the most cost effective Personal plan to $10.83 a month at current.

“Evernote Free will continue to be available for users who wish to explore Evernote before subscribing, or who are happy with Free’s more basic features,” the corporate mentioned. “When setting the brand new limits, we thought of that almost all of our Free customers fall under the edge of fifty notes and one pocket book. As a consequence, the on a regular basis expertise for many Free customers will stay unchanged.

“For Free users who have or who want more than fifty notes and one notebook, we recognize that these changes may lead you to reconsider your relationship with Evernote,” the corporate added.
