If the extra $20 were a one-off cost, I likely wouldn’t bother switching, at least not at this point.

Evernote’s Premium subscription is a recurring cost.

Why did I come to the conclusion that the costs of switching were worth it for me? There are a number of reasons: Hyatt’s, “ The High Cost of Shortsighted Frugality,” to readers for their consideration.) (I’ll recommend a more recent post of Mr. I had to consider carefully whether that cost was worth the $20 yearly savings. This isn’t a decision I’ve made lightly there’s a significant cost of time and effort involved in making the switch. (I took the time a few years ago to go through my notes, winnow them, and organize them using the system Michael Hyatt describes in this post from a couple of years ago.) I’ve found the software so powerful that, for a number of years, I’ve paid for a Premium subscription and never regretted it.īut - a $20/year increase? That’s a 40% hike, and it’s prompted me to make the move to one of the options Jason mentioned: Microsoft’s OneNote. I’m a longtime user of Evernote, and have found it very powerful for organizing information and locating it quickly. It’s a hefty increase (for Premium users, from $49.99/year to $69.99).

Last month, Jason alerted readers to Evernote’s recent price hike.
