Evernote makes its paid tiers more expensive, limits use of the free plan to two devices

Evernote has announced some changes to its pricing tiers today, and people aren't going to like any of this. First off, the note-taking service's free plan, called Evernote Basic, will remain free, but you'll only be able to use two devices with it. That's one computer and one phone, or one phone and one tablet, or any other combination - but the total has to be two. Previously, there was no such limit in place.

Next up, both paid plans are getting more expensive. Evernote Plus used to cost $2.99 per month or $24.99 per year. This now changes to $3.99 and $34.99, respectively. Evernote Premium will cost $7.99 each month, or $69.99 for a whole year, up from $5.99 and $49.99, respectively.

The company says the price hikes are necessary for it to survive, since it doesn't use ads or sell your data to make money. The changes will apply to everyone. The new prices will be live starting today for new subscribers, and current subscriptions will be adjusted at some point in the near future (after each subscriber will get a notice from the company).

The same goes for the two device limit of the Basic plan - new users get this from day one, while existing Basic tier users "will have some time to adjust before the changes take effect". Evernote says to expect a message about the situation "in the coming days".
