And if it was ?

This is exactly what I want to show: The Basic plan is AFAIK not meant for people who seek tricks around the limits. EN describes the plans general restrictions, they don’t need to describe every aspect in every detail. The use is BASIC, that says it all.

The message is not „If I combine this little detail with that exception, I can work around that limit“. The message is „If you seriously want to use EN, subscribe“.

Message received: Evernote wants me gone. Cool, I'll use something else.

IMHO they don’t need to send e-Mails. Users of the Basic plan are no customers, there is no contract binding both sides to terms for a period of time. EN can at any time modify the Basic plan. The last change was caused by some Basic users who got „smart“, swapping between devices all the time. OK, clever move, they harmed all users that now have to live with new restrictions.

The help article is clear enough, so why send millions of mails to users ? There is enough spam flying around the globe.

That's just it: the help article is not clear enough. My reading of the help article made me believe Evernote web is counted once for each device it's used on.

They should really make this more clear. It belongs in an direct email to affected users and in this FAQ that I quoted from:

Yes

Are you sure? It's not described that way. This is their description:

With Evernote Basic, you can use the Evernote app on up to two devices. This device limit applies to the following Evernote apps:

• Evernote for Mac
• Evernote for Windows
• Evernote for iOS
• Evernote for Android
• Evernote Web

...

Each device where you’re signed in to the Evernote app counts toward your device limit.

If you have multiple devices of the same type, each one counts toward your device limit. For example, if you sign in to your Evernote account on two different iPhones, it’s counted as two devices.

Use web access on the computers

Are the two computers using web access only counted as one device towards the limit?

This change makes Evernote way too cumbersome for me to use. I understand they want to monetize it. But I use it to store just two documents that I update less than once per month. I have a work laptop, a home PC and a phone. Paying at the level of M365 for this usage is unreasonable.
