Maybe it is due to the fact that Evernote is still free for the basic account and the sharing functionality in the premium account got much better over the years.
But IMHO you can get 90% of the functionality of the new Evernote business with a single premium account, if you store all your business related content within a premium account and share notebooks for collaboration as writeable with the personal accounts of your coworkers (whether they are on free or premium accounts is their personal decission).
Doing the maths for a small company with 20 people would be $2200 per year for Evernote business vs. $50 per year for the current solution using one premium account.
Unless you downgrade the current Evernote premium sharing functionality to broaden the gap to Evernote business, which I really hope you will not, I wonder, whether the additional comfort in administration of notebook sharing is really worth the additional $2150 per year.
The additional traffic in the business accounts is a nice add-on, but I personally wouldn't want to pay for it, as I never exceeded my 1 GB/month limit, even not on the one premium account I scan all the paperwork of my company into.
My personal feeling tells me, that a client within a business account should not cost more than an individual premium account but instead less. See it like a kind of volume discount.
Instead the admin backend could be charged additionally and could cost a bit more than an individual premium account.
So my suggestion for an attractive pricing schema would be more like this:
Small Administration seat, max. 10 client accounts: $5/month
Big Administration seat, unlimited client accounts: $20/month
Client seat with 1GB/month data volume: $3/month
Client seat with 2GB/month data volume: $6/month
all prices for yearly payment cycles.
I'll bet you will sell much more Evernote Business accounts with bigger overall revenue, than with your current plan.
With the small Administration seat, this might be interesting as well for families, where your $10/month/client plan hardly is an option.
But of cause, you are the ones, who make the prices,
