The desperation of Evernote is highly annoying. I completely understand the need to monetize the product, but they are putting endless pushes in front of free users now. Not our fault the way they structured it in the beginning. I also completely agree with @franziblome - the new popup modal is entirely meant to trick free users into a plan. "skip the trial" button is meant to be scary so that you think you are "SKIPPING THE TRIAL" and going straight into the only option on the page which is 17.99/mo. Users would expect a No Thanks or I'll Continue with Free link. Not Skip the Trial. And just like this user, it's just pushing more and more to look for alternatives as I'm sure the day will come when they take away something even more critical on Free that completely forces us into a paid plan anyways.

Honestly was just considering going paid to Evernote and switch from Google keep. Specifically because you can record audio files directly in Evernote and looking for a place to keep song demos and lyrics in one note. This kind of response from staff is making me think twice.
