@Dave-in-Decaturtotally agree with you. I need a plan that is between free and the lowest available just to continue using the service. Otherwise sadly after 2 decades I will have to move elsewhere. For now I have a year to keep going as the discount I was offered lowered the price to a reasonable. The forum still shows that I'm on a free subscription though, which is not correct.
What I find a bit grating is that the terms and conditions were changed on me. 20 years ago there was an agreement between evernote and I and I was offered certain features for free with an option to get more, if I wanted and pay for them. Now those features were taken away. I understand that the company need to pay for servers and stuff to keep going. But they should offer an option to the old, long time customers that makes sense and is fair.
