Why Users Are Switching

Evernote has become expensive and privacy-invasive. Here is why users are moving to Dash.

Expensive Subscription

Evernote costs $14.99/month ($180/year). Over 5 years, that is $900. Dash is $14.99 once, forever.

Everything in the Cloud

Your notes live on Evernote servers. They can access, scan, and analyze your content. Privacy is limited.

Requires Internet

Evernote needs internet to sync. Offline access is limited and unreliable. Bad WiFi means frustrated users.

Account Required

You must create an account with your email. Your identity is tied to your notes from day one.
