No published referral — free plan heavily limited

Evernote Referral Code

Q: Does Evernote have a referral programme?

We could not find current published terms for one. Any offer running on your account will be visible when you are signed in, and that is the only version that applies to you. Rather than repeat an unsourced figure, this page covers what actually changed about the product.

Q: What happened to the Evernote free plan?

It was heavily reduced after the Bending Spoons acquisition. On 4 December 2023 free accounts were capped at 50 notes and one notebook, and existing free users were not grandfathered — the limit applied to everyone. In August 2024 free accounts were further restricted to one device at a time, though the maximum note size rose to 200 MB.

Q: Is Evernote still worth recommending?

At the free tier, 50 notes with one notebook and one device is a trial rather than a note-taking app — anyone you refer will hit the limit within days and face a paid plan. That is worth saying before recommending it, since it is a materially different product from the Evernote of a few years ago.

Q: Were existing users protected from the change?

No. The 50-note cap applied to everyone, including long-standing free users with years of notes already stored. That lack of grandfathering is the detail worth weighing — a free tier reduced once retroactively can be reduced again.

Free plan capped at 50 notes — what changed under Bending Spoons

Evernote is a note-taking service, acquired by Bending Spoons. It publishes no current referral programme terms, and its free plan has been capped at 50 notes and one notebook since December 2023.

Genie Says

Evernote publishes no current referral terms we could source. What matters more is the free plan: capped at 50 notes and one notebook from 4 December 2023 with no grandfathering of existing users, then restricted to one device at a time from August 2024 — so anyone referred hits the limit almost immediately.

Why Choose Evernote?

One device from August 2024

A further restriction limited free accounts to a single device at a time, while raising the maximum note size to 200 MB.

No referral terms published

We could not source current referral terms. Figures circulating online refer to schemes we cannot verify as running.

About Evernote

If you are searching for an Evernote referral, the more useful thing to know is what happened to the free plan — because it changes whether the person you would refer can use the product at all.

We could not find current referral programme terms published by Evernote, and the historic points-based scheme people remember is not something we can verify as still running. Rather than repeat a figure we cannot source, here is the change that actually matters to anyone thinking about Evernote — including whoever you were planning to refer.

Evernote was acquired by Bending Spoons, and the free plan was substantially reduced afterwards. On 4 December 2023 free accounts were capped at 50 notes and a single notebook. Existing free users were not grandfathered: the limit applied to everyone, including people who had been storing notes there for a decade. In August 2024 a further restriction limited free accounts to one device at a time, while raising the maximum note size to 200 MB.

Those two changes matter more than any referral bonus, because they determine whether the product is usable at the free tier. A 50-note cap with one notebook and one device is not a note-taking app in any practical sense; it is a trial. Anyone you refer will hit it almost immediately and face a paid plan, and Evernote's paid tiers were repriced upward around the same period.

That is worth being straightforward about rather than burying. Referring a friend to a service whose free tier was retroactively cut to 50 notes is a different act from referring them to the Evernote of five years ago, and they will discover the difference within a week.

If a referral or promotional offer is running on your account it will be visible when you are signed in, and that is the only version that applies to you. Where a brand publishes nothing, every number circulating online is somebody's screenshot of a scheme that may long since have been retired — the same position as FamApp, JioCloud and TADA elsewhere on this site.

If the goal is a note-taking app rather than Evernote specifically, the retroactive nature of the 2023 change is the thing to weigh: a free tier that was reduced once, without grandfathering, can be reduced again.
