Frequently Asked Questions
How do I cancel my Evernote subscription?
You can cancel Evernote through your account settings on their website or app. The process is rated "easy" difficulty and takes 5 steps. Your access typically continues until the end of your current billing period, so you won't lose access immediately after canceling.
Will I get a refund if I cancel Evernote?
Most Evernote plans do not offer prorated refunds for the current billing period. Your access continues until the end of the period you've already paid for. If you recently subscribed or were charged unexpectedly, contact Evernote support to request a refund — many services will accommodate recent charges.
Can I pause my Evernote subscription instead of canceling?
Evernote may offer a pause or hold option that temporarily suspends your subscription without canceling it entirely. This preserves your account data and settings. Check your account settings for a pause option — if one isn't available, you can cancel and resubscribe later, though some settings or data may not be preserved.
What happens to my data if I cancel Evernote?
After canceling Evernote, your account data is typically preserved but you may lose access to premium features. Export any important documents, data, or settings before canceling. Most productivity tools keep your data accessible on a free tier or for a limited time after cancellation.
Can I reactivate Evernote after canceling?
Yes, you can typically resubscribe to Evernote at any time after canceling. Most services allow you to reactivate your account with your original email address, and your previous settings or data may still be available. However, you may not get the same promotional pricing you originally signed up with — check for current deals before reactivating.
