Overview
Evernote is one of the longest-established note apps, known for capturing web pages, documents and scanned images into searchable notebooks. Its website footer now carries the copyright of Bending Spoons US Inc., reflecting ownership by the Italian app developer Bending Spoons[8]. Under that ownership the plan structure has been rebuilt into Free, Starter, Advanced, a seat-based Flexible plan and an Unlimited enterprise plan.
The comparison page sets out the limits precisely. The Free plan allows 50 notes, one notebook, one device and 1 GB of storage; Starter raises that to 1,000 notes, 20 notebooks, three devices and 5 GB; Advanced removes the caps, subject to safeguard limits[8]. Advanced is also where AI features sit, listed as AI Assistant, semantic search, AI Transcribe, AI Edit and AI Cleanup. All plans include tasks, an Evernote calendar view, offline notes, two-factor authentication and apps for iOS, Android, web, Windows and Mac, and the enterprise tier adds SSO, centralised administration and activity logs[8].
Evernote’s search and clipping remain strong, but the free plan is now among the most restrictive in the category: one device and 50 notes are a trial in practice. The comparison page does not print prices, which appear only at checkout, so buyers cannot compare cost without starting a purchase[8].
