UpNote Review: Pricing, Pros, Cons & Alternatives

Overview

UpNote is a note app from UpNote Pte. Ltd.^[23] that offers an Evernote-like notebook structure at a low price, with apps for Mac, Windows, Linux, iPhone, iPad and Android and web clipper extensions for Chrome, Safari and Firefox^[23]. Its editor supports rich text and Markdown, code blocks, tables, internal note links and collapsible sections, and notes can be organised with nested notebooks, hashtags, pins and spaces^[23].

The free tier syncs across devices but is limited to 50 notes with basic features. Premium costs $1.99 per month or $39.99 as a one-time lifetime purchase, bought through the iOS, Android or Mac app, and adds unlimited notes, attachments, note locking, themes and export to text, PDF, HTML and Markdown; the site notes that prices vary by region and tax^[23]. Automatic backup, version history, a passcode lock and secret-link sharing are part of the product.

UpNote’s appeal is cost: the lifetime option is unusual among synced note apps. The limitations are a small company with few published details, no collaboration or team plan, no AI features, and a 50-note free tier that functions mostly as a trial.
