The short version

  • Only Evernote has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Evernote free tier limited to 50 notes, 1 notebook, 5 spaces; 20GB storage with Single device sync; Jackrabbit Class billing counts every student record in the account, active and inactive, so studios that never archive leavers pay for a larger tier than their real enrolment and only discover it when someone audits the database.
  • They diverge on capability: Evernote covers Note creation and organization, Jackrabbit Class covers Class scheduling.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 31 August 2026.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Evernote

  • Free tier limited to 50 notes, 1 notebook, 5 spaces; 20GB storage with Single device sync
  • AI features (AI Assistant, Semantic Search, Transcription) only available in Advanced plan
  • Advanced and Enterprise plans require custom pricing for enterprises
  • Note limit constraints in Starter plan: 1000 notes vs unlimited in Advanced

Jackrabbit Class

  • Billing counts every student record in the account, active and inactive, so studios that never archive leavers pay for a larger tier than their real enrolment and only discover it when someone audits the database.
  • Payment processing through Jackrabbit Pay is charged on top of the subscription and typically exceeds it in absolute terms, so the published tier price understates the real monthly cost considerably.
  • Marketing capability is minimal: there is no meaningful lead capture, nurture or campaign tooling, so studios run a separate marketing stack and reconcile enrolments manually.
  • The interface is dense and dated, and part-time front desk staff need more training than the price point suggests, which is a recurring cost in a sector with high staff turnover.
  • Feature parity between the web application and the mobile apps is incomplete, so administrators end up back at a desktop for anything beyond attendance and rosters.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Evernote: Does Evernote publish specific pricing for its paid plans?

No. Evernote's pricing page displays plan tiers (Starter, Advanced, Enterprise) with different features but does not disclose any dollar amounts, subscription costs, or pricing information.

Source
Jackrabbit Class: How is the student count calculated?

On the total number of students in your account at month end, including inactive ones. Archive former students before the billing date or you will pay a higher tier than your enrolment warrants.

Evernote: What storage limit comes with Evernote's free plan?

The free plan includes 1GB of storage, 50 notes, 1 notebook, 5 spaces, and 20 tags with access limited to 1 device.

Source
Jackrabbit Class: What does payment processing cost?

It is charged separately from the subscription through Jackrabbit Pay and is quoted rather than published. For most studios it is the larger cost, so get the rate in writing.

Evernote: What are the key differences between Evernote's free, Starter, and Advanced plans?

Free includes 1GB storage and 50 notes. Starter adds 5GB storage and 1,000 notes. Advanced provides unlimited storage, notes, and devices with full AI features.

Source
Jackrabbit Class: Is there a per-user charge?

No. Staff users are unlimited on every tier, which suits studios with many part-time instructors.

Jackrabbit Class: Does it handle multiple locations?

Yes, with location-level scheduling and reporting, though very large multi-site operators find the reporting shallower than a purpose-built enterprise system.
