Evernote will restrict free users to 50 notes starting December 4
Days after Evernote started testing a free plan with access to only one notebook and 50 notes, it has now made this change for all free users
There is a discussion on Hacker News, but feel free to comment here as well.
Probably want to look into changing the name to Fiftynote for the free version.
TIL Evernote is still a thing
I used to use their service until updates and fixes stopped for what felt like YEARS. It's still unusable on my computer as when I start to scroll, entries just magically start disappearing and I can't get them back without restarting.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The notetaking app said that this change will be applicable for all new and existing free users starting December 4.
Going forward, new and existing Free users will have a maximum of fifty notes and one notebook per account.
These limits refer to the number of notes and notebooks a user can have in their account at one time: you can always delete unwanted content to remain below the threshold,” the company, owned by Milan-based Bending Spoons, said.
At that time, a spokesperson told TechCrunch that the notetaking app has “been unprofitable for years and the situation was unsustainable in the long term.”
While Ian Smalls, who was appointed Evernote CEO in 2018, managed to get the company to $100 million in recurring revenue, the app has fallen behind newer competitors like Notion.
For users who might want to look for alternatives, Notion, Microsoft OneNote and Zoho Notebook offer generous free tiers.
