Unleash your productivity with Evernote Personal
With this change, Evernote Free and Personal users can now explore many of Evernote’s most exciting features for the first time. However, it’s the exclusive—and powerful—perks of paid subscriptions like Evernote Personal that unlock the app’s full potential:
· (Near) limitless note creation. Free accounts are limited to 50 notes and 1 notebook. Evernote Personal customers can create up to 100,000 notes and 1,000 notebooks—more than enough for all of your needs (you could easily forward in your entire inbox, and still have space to spare).
· 8x bigger notes. As a free user, the size of each note is limited to 25MB. Instead, Personal customers can create notes up to 200MB in size. This comes out to about 200M characters (that’s the equivalent of 714,285 Tweets). And it’s not just about text—with this limit, you can attach all the documents, images, or audio recordings you want.
· A huge boost to your overall upload limits. Similarly, Evernote Personal comes with a much higher monthly upload limit: 10GB versus 60MB for Free. Use your 10GB to upload every single manual, receipt, and scanned handwritten note into Evernote. Then, use tools like document and image search to find what you need fast.
· Unlimited devices. With Evernote Personal, you can take all your content with you everywhere you go. Install Evernote on your laptop, phone, work computer, and tablet, and immediately access and sync your data whenever you need.
· And more—see the full breakdown on our Compare Plans page.
