Evernote pricing, price hikes and cheaper alternatives
Evernote (evernote.com) is a note-taking app. Per-user subscription tiers (Free, Starter, Advanced) capped by notes, notebooks, devices and storage; business plans via sales.. Free plan: Free plan: 50 notes, 1 notebook, 1 synced device, 1 GB storage.
What Evernote costs
- 1 user: $24.99/mo (Starter ($14.99/mo monthly) caps at 1,000 notes, 20 notebooks and 3 devices, below the 2,000-note scenario, so Advanced at $24.99/mo monthly ($249.99/yr = $20.83/mo annual). Flexible (from $10, sales-configured) not counted.)
- 1 user + AI: $24.99/mo (Advanced includes AI Assistant and Semantic Search; Evernote publishes no per-plan AI request cap, so treated as included at $24.99.)
Plan compared: Advanced. Prices are for one person on monthly billing (annual-only plans divided by 12): the cheapest plan that keeps about 2,000 notes synced between a computer and a phone with no caps, and the cheapest plan that also includes the app's own AI. A free plan counts as $0 only when it covers the scenario without note, device, upload or storage caps.
