I’ve had my eye on these for awhile. My first reaction to this story was to sigh. While I want cool companies like this to keep their doors open (and ideally not get bought by someone like Google), I find subscriptions a huge burden. Their announcement is terrible at telling me what I’m looking for: price and features. All it says is, “For a full list of Connect features and to compare the different plans check out our product page.”
The best explanation I can find is pretending to buy one and clicking on each option. These seem to be the options:
- Free - take notes, read web articles and ebooks, annotate PDFs and organize all your notes on device
- Connect Light $4.99/mo - “Unlimited cloud storage”
- Connect $7.99/mo (and save $100 on device purchase) - “Unlimited cloud storage,” Google Drive/Dropbox integration, handwriting conversion, screen sharing, extended warranty and return.
I understand charging an inflated subscription for services they host, but it feels a bit gross to charge for integration with things like Google and Dropbox.
