I purchased an Evernote subscription, but my account is not upgraded

If you've purchased an Evernote subscription and still see your account as Evernote Free, make sure that:

  1. You haven’t unintentionally upgraded a secondary Evernote account. Please make sure you log in to Evernote with every other possible email address you may have.

    If you have an Apple device, It's possible that you might have created an account on Evernote by logging in with Apple and enabling the Hide My Email. You can find your email by tapping on Settings (from mobile) or System Preferences (from PC) > iCloud > Hide My Email and selecting Evernote. Copy that email address and try to use it as your Evernote login. The email should look like this: ---@privaterelay.appleid.com

    If you're using a Gmail address for Evernote, note that Gmail doesn't differentiate between:
    • Emails with dots in their names and those without them. For example, emails directed to ever.note@gmail.com and evernote@gmail.com would be sent to the same address.
    • Similarly, the email suffix (@gmail.com vs @googlemail.com) is treated as the same, but our system treats them as separate accounts.
  2. Your payment has been processed
  3. You double-checked your subscription status by signing in to your account settings.

How to check if Apple has processed your subscription payment

To check if Apple has successfully processed your subscription:

  1. Sign out of Evernote on your device, restart it, then sign back into Evernote.
  2. Verify your account type: Log in to the Account Summary of your account settings and check your Account Type.
  3. Find your Apple receipt: When you purchase a subscription, Apple should email a receipt to your Apple ID email address. If you haven't received a receipt, contact Apple or make sure the purchase shows up in your Apple account purchase history

How to check if Google Play has processed your subscription payment

To check if Google Play has successfully processed your subscription:

  1. Sign out of Evernote on your device, restart it, then sign back into Evernote.
  2. Verify your account type: Log in to the Account Summary of your account settings and check your Account Type.
  3. Find your Google Play receipt: When you purchase a subscription, Google should email a receipt to your Google Play Store email address. If you haven't received a receipt, contact Google or make sure the purchase shows up in your Google Play order history.

What if I still don't see my subscription reflected in Evernote?
