Plus and Premium plans will see a price hike, while the free Basic plan is now restricted to two devices, Evernote announced today.

Its “Remember Everything” pitch now comes with a restriction that’s as popular as a UKIP T-Shirt in Brussels, and users aren’t happy. Evernote Premium – which has a 10 GB monthly upload limit plus enhanced search tools enabling users to find specific terms within uploaded files and the ability to link notes together – now costs $8 per month (up 25%) or $70 per year. It’s probably better to pay a fee than to lose the service entirely.
Evernote isn’t a vast corporation, and note-taking isn’t a sideline for us. Previously priced at $2.99 per month, the package now costs $3.99 per month, or $34.99 per year. You get 1GB and 10GB respectively in those plans, and the specifics of what’s offered (too much to list here) can be found at the Evernote site. Passcode lock on the mobile app, formerly a paid feature, is now available on Basic as well. But now you will only be able to access notes on up to two devices, such as a computer and phone, two computers, or a phone and a tablet, as well as on the web.
“We don’t take any change to our pricing model lightly, and we never take you for granted”, Evernote told its users in a blog post.
“Our goal is to continue improving Evernote for the long-term, investing in our core products to make them more powerful and intuitive while also delivering often-requested new features”, Evernote says today of the changes. But that requires a significant investment of energy, time, and money.
