EVERNOTE TRIES TO LIMIT FREE ACCOUNTS TO PUSH TOWARDS PAID ACCOUNTS

Relying on third-party cloud-based services has its advantages, but it also has its drawbacks, as we can already imagine by now. If what they are testing from Evernote materializes, we would be facing a new case of problem.
From TechCrunch they report that Evernote, which at the time was the favorite tool for many for creating and managing notes on the Internet, is testing a modification that would exponentially limit what free account users will be able to do in them .
Trying to limit free accounts
The aforementioned publication has learned that Evernote has tried with 1% of its users to limit free accounts to being able to create only one notebook and up to 50 notes maximum , although it would retain all the content they have been creating until now.
The change is not final, and therefore, it has not been officially reflected in the platform's list of plans.
A scenario where there are alternatives to choose from
If it is finally implemented, it would push many to move to the competition , where there are options for all tastes, both in free accounts and in paid accounts, or choose to continue remaining on the platform, although of course, avoiding the strict limitations by upgrading your accounts to any of the payment plans.
If this change were to occur, users would be warned to act accordingly, although it is still a rather risky measure since Evernote no longer enjoys this privilege that it once had, and there are now other options to grab at a moment's notice. given.
In this sense, it is worth remembering that Evernote was acquired by the Italian company Bending Spoons , a company that owns other online platforms, at the end of last year, and beginning this year it carried out a round of layoffs, thus seeking to find the formula that allows you to become profitable again after years of losses.
Evernote has been suffering losses for years
Behind him he left more rounds of layoffs, management rotations and ambitious expansion plans even in the physical world.
The possible modification in the free plan is a challenge in the search for profitability , although you must be very careful since, as we mentioned before, users could take and go to competing services, even paying, rather than staying in Evernote, despite having been there for years.
It will be a matter of time to know the final decision and the reaction of users to the change in free accounts, which will seek to push towards different payment plans.
