Just to confirm that UpNote does indeed import .enex files very successfully.
Cheers,

Evernote servers were working better today, so I did manage to delete my notes and close my account.

There’s no way any small company can affordably absorb significant data from large and/or numerous Evernote customers for a one-time $25 unlock while continuing to pay its dev and storage costs (and make a profit), so either be prepared to pay a subscription in the future, or be ready to accept the export formats of the app (text, PDF, Markdown, HTML, screenshot).
I like the app and it’s frequently updated. I think it’s well designed and can for most people be a decent Evernot alternative, but this one-time Pro unlock smells wrong for what’s being offered - either they plan to introduce subs or they’re angling to sell the app to a company that won’t honor forever unlimited storage and full features.

$29.99 now or $0.99 a month

Or the single developer is playing the long game.
Income now sufficient for costs now. The one-time payment has been gradually increasing. The number of paying customers now is probably only a fraction of the long-term potential, and the low price attracts more users and attention in the market. By the time there’s a very large number of customers, with attendant costs, the price may be considerably higher and the one-time payment model could be ended at any time.

Silicon Valley is full of dead companies playing the ‘long game’ of money-losing customers until… profit$. Not impressed. And UpNote’s current pricing remains untenable, since most of its paying customers took the $25 lifetime unlock that was available for years.
Since I doubt they’re bad at business they’re either planning to introduce a new subscription tier with features unavailable to people who paid once, or they’re looking to flip the app to a company that will do that.
