MyNotes vs Evernote

If Evernote's free-tier squeeze pushed you to look elsewhere — here's what MyNotes does differently, and what it deliberately does not do.

In one paragraph

Evernote's free tier was significantly tightened in late 2023 — capped at 50 notes and 1 device. That sent a wave of users looking for a simpler home. MyNotes is one of the simpler ones: a rich-text notebook, a flat $19 / year for the paid tier, and a 10-note free plan with no device cap. We don't match every Evernote feature — no scanned-document OCR, no clipper extension out of the gate, no notebook-stack hierarchy. Read on to make sure the trade-off fits.

Pricing — side by side

Tier	MyNotes	Evernote
Free	$0 — 10 notes, unlimited devices (it's a web app), 1 MB per note	$0 — 50 notes, 1 device, 1 GB storage, 1 notebook
Entry-level paid	Paid — $19/year flat, 1,000 notes, no device cap	Starter — 1,000 notes, 3 devices, 5 GB
Heavy use	Dev-pro — $199/year, 30K plain notes + REST API + 30 GB	Advanced — unlimited notes/devices/storage

What MyNotes does that Evernote doesn't

Flat $19/year — no per-device tier. Evernote's Free and Starter tiers gate by device count; MyNotes never has.
REST API designed for scripts. Append-by-filename means a one-liner curl can write a daily log line into a named note. API docs.
Full export (.txt / .docx / .pdf zip) free, even when lapsed. Take your data with you any day, including after you cancel.
Public per-note share links with an instant revoke. Toggle a note shareable; anyone with the URL can read.
Plain-text mode for code-and-log workflows. Switch to code mode — your editor renders monospace, plain notes, no rich-text overhead. Designed for CI logs, AI session transcripts, and engineering journals.

Pick MyNotes if the bulk of your notes are things you typed, you mostly write at a keyboard or phone with a connection, you want predictable flat pricing, and the device cap on Evernote's free tier is what brought you here.

Switching from Evernote

Evernote can export notebooks as .enex (XML) or per-note HTML. The in-app importer at /options reads .enex directly — single files or .zip archives — so the typical migration is export from Evernote → upload to MyNotes. For very large libraries, email hello@example.com with the size and we'll help you plan.
