What each week held
Withheld: something was read in 1 week of the last 12. A series needs at least 2 to say anything a single reading does not.
What it declares
- cross-device sync
- offline notebooks
- search inside documents/PDFs
- AI Edit / Semantic Search (AI features)
- Slack and Microsoft Teams integration
- web clipper
- PDF annotation
- tasks and calendar
As the company’s own pages describe it. Forge did not test any of these.
What users raised
- price hikes
- weakened/shrunk free plan
- automatic charges
- pricier than alternatives like Notion/Obsidian
Themes people raised in public. A complaint is somebody’s opinion, not a measurement of the product.

Evernote's parent company Bending Spoons listed on Nasdaq at an $18.4 billion valuation, with Forbes reporting Evernote's revenue was up 34% in 2024 and continued growing further in the following period.
Parent-company IPO and Evernote's reported revenue growth indicate increased capital and scrutiny available for reinvestment in the Evernote product.

Evernote's Advanced tier is described as including AI features (AI Edit, Semantic Search) plus Slack and Microsoft Teams integrations, positioning AI and third-party integrations as premium differentiators.
Signals Evernote is gating AI capability behind its top paid tier rather than offering it broadly.

Multiple independent trackers (eesel.ai, usecarly.com) corroborate a free-tier squeeze to 50 notes/1 notebook and a paid structure of roughly $99/yr Starter and $249.99/yr Advanced, though other aggregators report differing numbers (e.g., $7.99-$24.99 ranges), suggesting either regional/promo variation or stale competitor data.
Indicates real pricing may vary by billing cycle/region; downstream monitoring should verify directly against evernote.com/pricing next cycle.

Evernote's 2026 lineup is reported as Free, Starter, Advanced, and Enterprise (custom), replacing the older Personal/Professional naming; one tracker cites Starter at $8.25/mo ($99/yr) and Advanced at $20.83/mo ($249.99/yr), with the free tier cut to 50 notes and 1 notebook.
Establishes baseline pricing/packaging; buyers comparing to competitors like Notion or OneNote see a narrower free tier and higher paid pricing.
