I am a long time user of Evernote. Currently it has the best browser extensions, a wide range of supported operating systems, and it has a free tier; however, I am getting frustrated with it. In the past year, they have changed plans twice – now the free tier is only supported on 2 platforms. This has cost me to re-evaluate my use of Evernote. Lately all I have been using Evernote for is to sync a grocery list between devices and keeping my children’s memories in one location – their sayings, artwork, etc. In the past I also used it for note taking, article saving, and inputting ideas. I have also seriously considered buying a subscription just so I can continue uninterrupted.<\/p>\n
While this may be a rant about a free user using a free service, I contribute to the monitization of their service by the viewing of advertisements. The free tier limits (except for maximum devices) are adequate for my occasional use and probably have cost Evernote around $3 total in the past several years. The valuation Evernote has placed on their second-level tier ($35\/year) is much higher than I value it (~$12\/year). While I may not be able to set the price on what Evernote costs, I can put a price on what I am willing to pay for a simple note service.<\/p>\n
