Hello ever welcome back to another video it is Francesco here
so in this video
What i'm going to be doing is talking about the Evernote to plans and specifically which plan is most suitable for you right now
now I will be doing an Evernote alternatives videos in case people are really worried about Evernote future and are looking to
Transfer their experience over and maybe in two weeks or so
I will be doing a video about the best method of transferring all of your notes out of Evernote
And that's just purely for security
I will be also doing
How I use evident currently and what plan I will be going on and I'll give you some of my personal
Recommendations at the end of this video. So let's dive into the plans and let's talk about which one is most suitable for you
Let's start with the Evernote basic account. And this is free
Obviously all you need for this one is to create an Evernote account and it's really simple the premise of this allows you to create
Note notebooks and tags and do all of the the majority of stuff you would inside of the notes
So for example use tables
attachments collect web clippings
screenshots audio recordings and use some of the rich text formats and like the likes of to-do lists and other such
Experiences now you come and of course
highlight annotate and comment on images attach PDFs receipts files and documents as well as search find and you
access all of your notes at speed you can also
Sort and organize the information by date title or tag as well as search text inside images
which is
available in the free account now you can share with one person or more as well as set permissions for editing notes and notebooks and
You're probably wondering okay. What's the important information? I need to know about the Evernote free account and that's really simple
So 60 megabytes upload limits, that's per month
so that only gives you that limit 25 megabytes of
maximum note storage and also this plan limits you to two devices on this account and
Only recently has been updated to allowing you to use a desktop one only offline access
Which I guess is pretty impressive now that is a free account
There is two other ever no premium and evident business
Of course evident business is more of the one that's used for enterprise customers
So let's talk about the premium account now
The premium account is currently priced at seven dollars 99 per user per month
and of course there is a currently a discount on Evernote premium that some of you may be seeing which is for
40% off and that's for the annual pricing so you can obviously get a huge discount there again
It's whether you use it whether you sort of understand it and that we'll be talking about in a moment
so the Evernote premium
obviously includes the majority of the basic where actually everything in a basic plan and giving you access obviously to create notes and things like
Now and a sort of bonus features that you get what premium are forwarding emails scanning and digitizing business cards
Annotating pdfs and being able to search text inside of PDFs and office documents and images
You can see virgin history and turn on presentation mode
and of course
They're the core features that separate it from the likes of Evernote basic
Now in terms of the details you obviously get 10 gigabytes a month, which is a massive
Difference from 60 megabytes a month monthly upload limit you can add up to
200 megabytes maximum note size and you can have unlimited
Devices now obviously aside from that you can have mobile offline access as well as a desktop access as well as email and live
Access support. So again, you're getting a bit more than that. So let's talk about the which ones suitable for you
So I want to give you example my own experience. I mainly use Evernote to capture receipts
Information sort of I guess static information that I will come back to in any given time not necessarily on
Sort of a regular basis using it for meeting notes, although I previously used it for meeting notes
I don't use it for ideas. It is really just for clipping receipts PDFs and
Organizing valuable information. So again
I'm not adding a huge amount there. But again enough to know I'm gonna be warranting myself to use Evernote free now
the reason I would use Evernote free and why I'm gonna move back to it from October is
Because it has a 60 megabyte upload limit. So check on my end. I don't actually use that amount per month. I was always
Massively under on the 10 gigabytes. I mean massively like
you can actually check how many megabytes you using a month or gigabytes and I was always like
99%
You know actually not used 25 maximum note size 25 megabytes
Again for me using and uploading PDFs and SM massive. I'm not gonna have that there
two devices
I'm I would in uninstall it from Android and and any other device I've got but of course I could use a non web
So if I ever need to use it on another computer I could use the web version
So my man, can my iOS phone would work great
And of course desk desktop offline access would really help and of course that's part of the free plan
So for me the evident free plan actually works quite well
I'm not ditching Evernote because I actually have six years worth of really valuable information there. It's actually quite useful
But again, I'll talk more about that in my own setup video now Evernote, of course for you
You might be looking at that going
Okay, you know am I using it enough and this might be this sort of Bugaboo for you?
So for example, if you heavily use forward emails
That's obviously going to be something that you're going to need in premium
If you're desperately needs like the card scanning function
You scan all the business cards in to connect them with your contacts in LinkedIn. Then that obviously is going to be a premium feature
Annotating pdfs. I know a lot of people do that
But again, there are alternative applications that allow you to do that obviously some people like that all inside of Evernote
but again, there are alternatives and some people do like the ability to search for text inside of PDFs office documents and
Images so that's inside a premium to now, of course, you can see the version history of your notes and presentation mode
So if you're a heavy user of that that's gonna obviously get you there
now one of the things that I would say is if you're uploading more than
obviously more than 60 megabytes per month then premium warrants you if you are looking at like about a hundred megabytes a month or maybe
200 megabytes a month you can discuss with yourself Oh, okay
do you know do I need the premium version just for the sake of
You know an extra hundred megabytes or can I?
Crunch everything down to 60 megabytes a month and sort of stick with that
And and you've got to ask yourself as well. Do you use more than
25 megabytes per
Note file size. So for example, if you are uploading things like I don't know
You know
Mp4 files or mp3 files then that's really gonna get you like it's gonna be a big upload necessarily a big one
And if you use it on a lot of devices as well if you have three or four more devices
They use it. The premium is definitely your best bet and if you're a big mobile access user
So for example, you know you travel a lot and you need them offline
Then that's obviously gonna be your sort of go-to bet
So my recommendations are really if you are an Evernote free if you're an Evernote premium
customer and you don't necessarily use the forwarding email and some of the premium functions and
You can warrant the downgrade. For example, you can say to yourself. Okay, actually, I
Don't use that monthly upload. Not that much. My maximum note size is small
I don't use it on that many devices or I could drop the amount of devices. I've got and I would only
need it desktop only access then you might be more warranting moving up down to
Evernote free
Now what I'm going to say is that if you do need it
If you are heavy user Evernote carry on with Evernote premium or Evernote business
Whatever suitable for you because it will benefit you and of course if you're happy with that, but if you're on that borderline
I'm going to be moving down to Evernote free on the 6th of October
I believe it is once my premium runs out and that's actually the first time I'm going free in
Five years, which is crazy
And then for example if they add stuff to it
Or they I don't know if they answered up to it or it becomes more valuable or I work out that I'm using more
Monthly upload, then I probably will move back
So guys hopefully that gave you some useful insights into the Evernote sort of pricing plans
Let me know in the comments what your story structure will be again. I didn't necessarily touch on the business account business account
It's $14 99 per month. You can read about all the pricing plans below
But again, I think this was more of a should I go for Evernote free or Evernote premium and it were guys
I really appreciate you stopping by today
I really hope you enjoyed this feature
Lemon in the comments below what you think about the evidence description pricing whether it's good price or bad price. Let me know
I'd really love to hear because obviously they're making a lot of changes and developments in this area
Anyway, guys make sure to have a great week Keep Productive and I'll see you guys very very soon Cheers
