From teams who pay for it
DocuSign
From X“@gregorykennedy I know business still Docusign $100k+ a year, for the same features included in a $14 a month Google subscription. Insane.”

Loom
It was amazing before Atlassian.
It was amazing before Atlassian. Since Atlassian everything has gotten worse, more confusing, and more buggy. And it's impossible for users to find billing and profile settings through the Atlassian portal, it's like engineers built it and ignored UX.

Loom
From X“Loom has been a disaster to deal with since it merged with Atlassian and has suddenly increased my bill from $60/mo to $634/mo without my knowledge and for no apparent reason.”
Raphael · @Rpaulindaigle
ServiceTitan
From X“It’s 0700 on a Monday. You own an HVAC company doing $15M a year. Six months ago, you got tired of paying ServiceTitan $12,000 a month. You figured, why not just build our own CRM? You hired a developer for $120,000 a year. He told you he’d have a working system in three”

QuickBooks
From X“Makes me happy to see this message multiple times a day as clients leave Quickbooks Online for better options. This particular client dropped from $140 to $25 a month. https://t.co/EG9xRzV6M7”

Webflow
From X“Webflow was costing me $1,632 a year for 3 websites. Now I pay $0. They’re faster, have better SEO AEO GEO, connected to my LLM and are built to last. If you want to migrate too I built a free skill that will do it for you. Check the comments. I did all three of my sites in 1”
