Only move up to the premium version if you really enjoy the program and you need the additional storage. I suggest starting with the free version (depending on what you do with it, it may be all you ever need).

There is both free and then premium versions of Evernote. One of the best parts of Evernote, as you point out, is the web clipper, which can help you find items of interest you find on the web again later for reference. Taylor says:Thanks Paula for this quick review. It is the most versatile and useful all around organization tool I have ever come across and IT IS FREE!!! LOVE IT! I can look at Evernote from work (where I can't download the app), at home on my computer, on my iPad in the kitchen or on my Android phone or iPad in the store. I love it because there is a web clipper that I can use with Google Chrome and I just click on that to have the information from the web page I'm looking at imported into Evernote. Paula says:You can also use the web version of Evernote so you don't have to worry about it being outdated or out of sync with an operating system upgrade. I personally have it on both my iPhone and my MacBook. It is really amazing how many ways people are using Evernote for household management and home and life organization. Several readers have shared ideas and ways they use Evernote to help get their lives and homes organized below, from using the web clipper, meal planning, getting rid of paper clutter, tracking medications, and more. Then, you can organize all these 'notes' into various folders and virtual notebooks.

A note can be all kinds of things from typed information, photos, audio files, web pages, and more.
