I have been a loyal and enthusiastic user of Evernote for years. However, that is about to change.
About a year ago, Evernote was purchased by Bending Spoons. I haven’t seen much difference in Evernote’s operation since the new owners took over. However, the price of an Evernote subscription is now increasing to a level where I am now questioning if the service is worth the new price.
In a post to the Evernote Blog, the company announced, “The price of an Evernote subscription is increasing.” In fact, it is increasing to a level where I am no longer interested in paying the price.
The new prices are a bit complicated. You can read the details at: https://evernote.com/blog/evernote-pricing-upcoming-features-update. However, the price for private individuals is clear: $129.99 per year. I enjoy Evernote but I don’t enjoy it THAT much.
I am now looking at alternative replacements for Evernote. One that looks appealing is Joplin, a freeware open source product that seems to have a lot of enthusiastic users.
Joplin may be found at: https://joplinapp.org/.
