Choosing a replacement price will rise Evernote
Web Services / / December 24, 2019
Evernote has changed the pricing policy, raising the cost of subscriptions Plus and Premium, and make life difficult for users with a free account. It's time to say goodbye to slow, overloaded with unnecessary features Evernote, and to find an alternative.
Something went wrong
Evernote - popular zametochny service, which at one time won the love of many users. popularity peaked in 2011, but it seems that then something went wrong. From a simple and convenient service for writing notes, he turned into a hulking monster with a bunch of useless features. Yet many of his chosen for multiplatform and interesting opportunities available, even with a free account. But all good things must come to an end, and Evernote, seems himself inserts spokes in the wheel.
June 28, 2016 service users received a "chain letters." For a free account you can now connect up to two devices. That is, having a laptop, smartphone and tablet will have to choose. Previously, no restrictions on the number of connected devices was not. In some countries, changes were made and paid subscriptions Plus and Premium. For example, in the US Plus account costs increased from $ 2.99 to $ 3.99 per month and Premium - with 5.99 dollars to 7.99 dollars a month. In Russia, everything remains unchanged: 999 rubles a year for Plus and 1990 rubles a year for the Premium. But for how long?
Members strongly embraced innovation company. Here is what they write about it in Twitter:
I enjoyed the premium Evernote account for several years. Yesterday subscription has expired. Today, prices have risen. Google Keep waiting for me!

Why am I all? Evernote gives 30 days in order to "prepare for the changes." We ordered this time properly and think about moving to another service.
What I use
Since I'm bitter, "Yabloko", I use the standard application "Notes". After going through at the time many alternatives, I went back to the standard application, as it does not find anything easier and more convenient. Synchronization works fine, there is support for Handoff, recently appeared lists and drawing. What is missing is shared, but it will add 10 to the iOS and macOS Sierra. Having multiple Apple products can be great to organize your workflow. We, by the way, wrote, how to transfer notes from Evernote in Apple Notes, the time has come. :)
But if the standard "Notes" are not satisfied or you have multiple gadgets on different platforms, you should pay attention to the following applications.
