At £4.99 per month, it isn’t going to break the bank, but in the new world of low-cost software, it isn’t cheap, either. The problem with Evernote’s pricing is that the paid step-up from the free plan only includes one thing I’m interested in: syncing across unlimited devices (you can only sync two on their free tier, which isn’t enough for me). I love paying third-party developers for their apps, but they need to give me a reason to do so (ahem, Notion).


It has been developed past the point of a simple note-taking platform, in my opinion, and felt more cumbersome for my needs with every release.

Unless you’re particularly organised with your notes and want the ability to categorise, tag and file them to the nth degree, Evernote is absolute overkill.
