In 2010 Phil Libin, then CEO of Evernote, said theirs was 2%. Now, the oft-cited conversion rate from free to premium user is typically less than 5%. Today it claims to have 100 million users. It adds 10GB of new uploads per month, the ability to annotate and search within PDF files, and a business card. By 2010, it had a total of 3 million users. Evernote Premium, meanwhile, will now cost 7.99 per month, up from 5.99. Premium (7.99/month) and Business (14.99/month) provide advanced features for organizing. Evernote’s pricing change probably worked last time, and will probably work this time.Įvernote’s greatest asset is its very large user base. Cost: Evernote Basic offers note-taking features for free. What Evernote is doing this time with the packaging change: reduce the value of their free Basic edition product.Įffectively that means they are raising the price of a user not upgrading to the paid product. Evernote Premium Offers 10 GB of new uploads per month and costs 69.99 per year.

It’s been 10 years since they first took funding. Many investors - big-name investors - are waiting to get their returns.
