Evernote Launches AI Assistant and Drops Free Trial From Paid Plans
What happened
Between the Jan 19, 2026 and Jan 27, 2026 captures of Evernote's pricing page, Pulse recorded 2 changes: 7-day free trial CTA removed from Starter and Advanced plan cards; replaced with annual billing totals (Pay $99.00/year for Starter, Pay $249.99/year for Advanced). Monthly prices unchanged; AI Assistant and Semantic Search features launched: 'Coming soon' labels removed for all plans. Both AI features are now available rather than pending.
