I’ve been lucky enough to be able to play around with Evernote ever since it was still in closed test. Granted I didn’t use it as much as I wanted being the hard core OneNote (Microsoft) user but that changed in the last little while if only to give Evernote a really fair shakeout. Due to this increase in usage and thinking that there could be some really interesting stuff beyond its already cool features I thought I would pony up the money and get the premium version of the program.
After all people deserve to be paid for their hard work so I dropped by the Premium purchase page to see how much it would cost me to upgrade. At first the upgrade price of $45.00 kinda set me back but still felt it was worth it when I had the money. Then I spotted the that was a complete deal breaker for me – see if you can spot it in the screen capture
Yup – the only purchase option was Google Checkout. Sure you could use your credit card at that point but that didn’t matter one iota for me since I don’t have a credit card or a Google Checkout account. The one way I pay for everything online – including my web hosting – is with PayPal which was not supported here.
Yes I could very well keep on using the free version but that isn’t the point. I wanted to spend my hard earned money and be able to have access to all the extras that come with the premium version. Not anymore.
And another excellent program destined for the recycle bin because of myopic ideas of how people might like to pay for the products they really want.
