From teams who pay for it
Canva
“We canceled Canva after 12 years. We'd stopped using it a year earlier but kept paying, and two of us had separate team plans without knowing. We were paying about 4x for nothing.”
Jason Lemkin · @jasonlk
Wix
“Squarespace is a solid step up from Wix for a simple shop. If she already has a site and just wants it redesigned without starting over, I built revamped for that: paste the URL, see a redesign in about a minute.”
codemonkei · @doktordos
Evernote
Started out great years ago, went downhill, doubling price, not worth it now.
Shopify
“One of our 8-figure clients literally replaced Shopify + Skio and built their own platform in just 2 weeks.”
