how many of them are coming from one note as opposed to nothing right yeah that most is probably less than one percent right
I don't use word very much at all no you only need it for much I don't even know what a database is any more like except access oh yeah use that so I don't think that it's Evernote is causing a decline in the usage of office I think it's just that that idea hasn't kept up
I think the whole idea of office like I think Microsoft had the monopoly on the concept of productivity like office was the the definition of productivity for a right time but that idea that like in order to be productive what you need is a word processor and a spreadsheet and a database and PowerPoint like this is kind of a weird concentrate that concept was created before smartphones and tablets and app stores like this was a 25 year old idea right

we really treat the free version as the central version of Evernote we're constantly improving it we want it to be good enough for the vast majority of people and uh once if you really love it um then if you need some power user features then you can you can upgrade for five bucks a month to the premium version and that that works really well that as a business model that that's worked fantastically well for us
the best way that we found to get somebody to pay is to make them feel like they never have to pay and give them enough time to fall in love with a product and then they just want to pay and they just do normally and so we just you know we have this long-term approach and uh it's you know so far so good it's been working fantastically
