yes, they are trying to gouge me on Evernote that no longer works, that i tried to unsubscribe from

here is a solid article from this week's Economist (that mentions another real jewel of a company):

Similar story here. They took my ~$100/yr Harvest time-tracking Solo plan, increased the price by 2.5x for a more restricted plan than I had... or I could get back the plan I had for $20,000/year.

So I downloaded my data, and had Claude vibecode a fully-featured clone in a single evening. Even if I was paying Anthropic API rates, it cost me less than a single year of my Solo plan.

Was also on Harvest when news broke they had bought them here on HN. A lot of the same comments. I thought, "Well, maybe this is hyperbole, let's wait it out." About a month after they were acquired, same thing. Price of my plan went up almost by double.

So if anybody is reading this? They absolutely will gouge you. All the stories you've read are all true. Take some advice and get out while you can.

Double? Rookie numbers.

We went from $1k to $21k per year.

A few emails later and we have a hefty discount, but we will still move away.

Tip: It's straightforward to migrate from Evernote to Apple Notes. https://www.macrumors.com/how-to/migrate-from-evernote-to-ap...

eh, i backed up in a few places a bit ago. the actual concern is BS charged me when they shouldn't have (5x the former price, annual), won't refund, and turned off the account anyway. and PayPal seems to have an open marriage with PCI-DSS/SOC2 right now

I've moved to Joplin and am pretty happy with it. Was easy to self host on my WebDAV.

I believe it imports Evernote data too.
