Your school may qualify you for a special academic discount on an Evernote Business account. Even if you are a ’non-traditional’ student your educational institution may be eligible. It is worth taking a look!

Usually, a professional account focused on teams, Evernote Business includes features found in the Premium pricing tier while offering additional team-oriented tools.

That makes this a compelling deal to check out if you are a student, teacher, parent, or administrator.

An Academic Discount

Evernote Business may be available for qualifying institutions. In the past, these discounts have been as high as 75%.

About Evernote Business as Compared to Other Plans

Evernote offers free, Premium, and Business plans which offer varying access to the desktop, mobile, and online versions of the popular note app.

  • The Free account is a general note solution for personal or casual use.Premium is about $5 USD monthly and great for solo business owners and other professionals. It offers valuable extras including PDF annotations, searchable text in images, and passcode lock.​Evernote for Business includes everything Premium does and then some. This tier is normally about $10 USD monthly and great for teams, or in this case, classes and study groups. With the discount, either you or your school could, therefore, pay about $2.50 USD monthly per person. Again, all discount rates are subject to Evernote’s current offers.

How the Discount Is Granted

This discount requires that you or your school pays the full amount of the first payment, with a credit applied retroactively. After that, accounts will be charged 25% for all the following payments thanks to the 75% discount, for example.

Privacy Issues
