The once-dominant note-taking app Evernote has made a major change to its free plan, potentially angering users and prompting at least some of them to consider an alternative.
Evernote’s free users will be limited to a maximum of 50 notes and a single notebook starting on December 4, the company announced in a controversial blog post on Wednesday (Nov. 29). That’s a far cry from the existing free plan, which allows for 100,000 notes and 250 notebooks. Evernote tried to soften the blow in its announcement, saying that users will have the ability to delete old notes to make room for new notes. But if they have 50 notes they want to keep, they’ll either need to upgrade to a paid plan or find another way to keep notes.
