Microsoft’s OneNote is tightly integrated with its Office package of productivity tools, is free to use (although more than 15GB of online storage costs money) and just launched a total import service from Evernote, allowing users to easily switch. One of the first popular services to allow for online syncing of notes between apps and the web, Evernote has been facing increasing competition from major players in Silicon Valley. Some of the first comments after the announcement say the app is “slowly but surely starting to price out of the market,” and “I love Evernote, but I’m not sure I love it that much.” But that’s not enough to stop a number of users complaining about the changes on Evernote’s own site.
We’re asking those people who get the most value from Evernote to help us make that investment and, in return, to reap the benefits that result.”Īs a sweetener to Basic users, Evernote is also adding a passcode lock feature to the free tier. But that requires a significant investment of energy, time and money. “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. The latter also offers tools for power users, such as business-card scanning and PDF annotation.Ĭhris O’Neill, the company’s chief executive, said that the price rises were necessary if Evernote was to continue investing in the software. The Plus tier allows 1GB of data to be synced with the web monthly, while the Premium tier allows 10GB. Unusually, Evernote doesn’t charge by total storage, but by the amount uploaded each month. At the same time, the price for the Plus and Premium tiers of Evernote has risen by about 40%, taking them to $34.99 (£25.96) and $69.99 (£51.92) a year respectively.
