Evernote is, however, offering a grace period to free users who need sync across more than two devices. This grandfathered plan will only last for a few weeks and the new changes and pricing will roll out for users at different times, the earliest being August Keep an eye on your inbox for an email from Evernote within the next two weeks detailing the exact time frame for the changes to be applied to your account.
Whether you can justify paying for Evernote or not certainly depends on your personal usage, but with zero new features added, the blatant price hike is hard to recommend. With only plain text notes, you're not likely to reach the 60MB limit.
Evernote Basic comes with 60MB of uploads per month. Very few plain text notes in my Evernote are over 4KB in size, which means I could upload approximately 15, notes to my account in a month with Basic. That's a lot of notes to take in a month -- approximately per day.
But if your needs exceed what Evernote Basic has to offer and you just want to take notes, services like Google Keep or Simplenote provide everything you need for free. And if you're within Apple's ecosystem, the inbuilt Notes app uses iCloud to sync your notes between your Apple devices.
While iCloud may not be free for you, the note taking will likely have very little impact on your total iCloud storage. My personal solution for syncing notes between all my devices is using a cloud storage service I already pay for -- Dropbox -- and finding individual applications on different platforms for taking notes.
Basic users will only be able to use sync in the official Evernote apps with two devices at once -- such as a computer and a phone, a phone and a tablet or two phones. Most people will only need Evernote on a phone, computer and maybe a tablet. If you only install the Evernote app on your two mobile devices and opt to use Evernote in a web browser instead of a desktop app, you will still have access to notes from all your devices.
If you have multiple phones or tablets you wish sync notes between there are a number of free alternatives that don't restrict the number of devices you can use with sync. One of the draws of Evernote for me is the web clipper tool. Integrations None of the integrations are available on freemium. The business plan also gets access to CRM integrations.
Team collaboration These are all the basic features for teams to take notes. Nothing in here would be valuable to someone deciding between the freemium and premium plans. Team administration Another set of basic admin features for managing a team. First, the device limit on freemium is a real constraint. Evernote used to allow their freemium users more devices but added this limit to try and convince more folks to upgrade to premium. The loophole around this is to install Evernote on two devices like your phone and laptop and then log into Evernote through the website on any other device that you want to use.
Second, the upload and note limits are easy to hit. Third, the freemium plan does lack offline access for mobile. Yes, Evernote freemium is still a great, free note-taking plan even after Evernote has increased the restrictions on it.
Whether or not you decide to use the freemium Evernote plan compared to other note-taking apps will come down to personal preference. Some folks still love Evernote, others rave about OneNote which is bundled with Office Notion has also been getting a lot of buzz recently and has a freemium plan.
Find the best app that feels right for you. Does it make sense to upgrade though? When is it worth the price? Offline Access for Mobile If offline access to Evernote on your phone is really important to you, upgrade to Premium.
Occasionally I find myself wanting to jot down a few notes without a cell connection or while traveling internationally. For a while, I tried using two note-taking apps to solve this problem. I used Evernote most of the time and then had another one that I used offline. Without a doubt, this was more trouble than it was worth. If I needed this feature more regularly, I could definitely see myself upgrading.
Simply start typing a note and Evernote Premium can provide tailored suggestions for related content from leading publishers and news outlets from around the web, including Inc. Magazine and The Wall Street Journal. Both plans allow users to attach documents, files, PDFs, and receipts to notes, and both can clip full pages, text, and images from the web. Evernote Premium allows users to forward emails directly to their Evernote account.
Freemium users cannot do this. This might not be the biggest deal if you just need a simple note-taking app. Evernote Premium, on the other hand, integrates with many of the most widely used productivity tools on the market.
Evernote Premium users can link to Google Drive files within notes and Notebooks and can also connect an Evernote account to a Microsoft Outlook account. Evernote Premium also integrates seamlessly with Slack and Microsoft Teams. When it comes to keeping your stuff organized, all three Evernote plans are fairly similar.
All three plans allow you to search notes; create new Notebooks and tags; organize notes by date, tag, or title; and search for text within images. For most users, this will probably be enough.
