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.
