Hefty increases in price and limited to just two devices in the free version.

I think a lot of people will stop using Evernote, are they getting ride of free accounts?

Free accounts can only sync with 2 devices now, so if you have a work computer, a personal computer, a phone and a tablet you're totally screwed. Time to switch. Any recommendations?

Far past the time to get out of this service. I was stubborn to stick with it for so long.

I wonder if they are actually making any money

Many say that OneNote is pretty good. But I never liked it much.

Trying it one more time now. It seems that I have little choice.

I primarily use Evernote for storing and tagging web pages (i.e. a more flexible and organized bookmarking system with page snapshots).

Are there any alternatives out there?

edit

I found some!

And here are some more alternatives:

I've been interested in an alternative for a while, but have been too lazy to spend much time looking. I primarily use two Evernote features: writing plain text notes, and on taking quick, easy (and stored) screenshots using their keyboard shortcuts.

An OK product/service that I have stuck with for too long out of stubborness/laziness. I would understand these changes if it seemed like there was actually active development happening on the product.

I'd say "any suggested alternatives" as well, but I think I can just read the other comments. :)

Quiver is also a good noteapp for programmers on macOS

This sounds a lot like "Thank you for using our product. Unfortunately, when we made the deal we were unable to do math to figure out how much running a piece of our infrastructure costs per user, so if you'd like to keep the stuff we gave you for free, you're going to have to pay up. We have altered the deal. Pray we do not alter it again."
