It is the equivalent of 1 cup of coffee-to-go per month (at least in many places), so it can’t be important for you to use it.

In general it is a simple question: Giving away a service that internally cost money for free is nothing else than marketing expenses. You have to set 2 points to make these expenses pay for you in the long term: How long or under which conditions can you allow the use of the free service, and what is the conversion rate from free to paid that makes your marketing pay back in the end ?

If the Free service is too good, it will be used indefinitely, and will by „reverse conversion“ even drain the paid segment from which you make your living - and pay your marketing expenses. I am surprised that EN still allows an indefinite use of the basic accounts. I would probably limit it to 5 years, to allow every student in the world to use my service for free while on a shoestring, and then forcing them when entering professional life to decide to subscribe to continue, or to quit.

I agree with you. It's not important enough to justify the payment. At least for now.

However I have this workflow (again, not super important) and I wanted to know if I can still use Evernote free plan for this.

I would gladly pay for the service when its premium features justify my use cases like I do for my task manager

Either way, thanks for all your feedback!

@Nuno Saraivaconsider to pay EN for your workflow?

No. I can't afford having that expense. That's why I asked about using multiple computers with the web app.

And I'm still worried about future changes that Evernote may have in the future. 

Limiting the free version will definitely make some users look for alternatives and they may even influence other users as well, so I don't see that as a good move from Evernote

Hi @Nuno Saraiva

No, given your scenario, that would count as only two devices.

The Web Client is counted as 1 device, irrespective of the physical device or browser it's used on.

Hope this helps to clarify!

Thanks for the feedback!

And I'm glad that at least this change won't affect my workflow,

Cheers

Hi All,

Thank you for sharing your feedback on this change. Please continue to share your thoughts/feedback here.

One thing I wanted to clarify is that you can still use 2 devices as a Basic subscription user, even if neither of those devices are web.

The change is that the Web Client is now counted as one of the devices.

 

 

But what about this scenario:

- Android app

- Personal computer (Web app)

- Work computer (Web app)

Does this count as 3 devices?! If so, then I'm afraid I have to consider other alternatives to evernote

If I have two different computers using the web app will it also count as 2 devices?
