The easiest way to build a website

I got it, you kept your pro plan the same.

The problem here is some essential tools (downloading websites) are locked behind a paywall. I think the issue here is just that, if a client wants to change agency, why should i pay an extra to let him do that? it is literally consumers right in lots of country to have the ability to change provider. I mean, me, the guy who made the website, should pay if my client wants to migrate?

I'll take the elite plan anyway, as they still mantained their promises. It's a great site builder (they managed to add lots of features after months). For everyone that is reviewing this product as scam, it is not. They gave you what they said.

Yeah, i am also pissed that i have to change to a "subscription based" plan as an early adopter (of tier 5, so you already got 400/500$ from me), and i agree that 50% discount is not the freshest discount for a guy that believed in you.

I may be more pissed for the paywalled essential features, as said, like website export and (you could argue, as i remember that they promise that) the billing for the client. My opinion here, from a consumer to a developer of the website, is trust. You broke that for lots of customers. And i get it, you can't keep up with "one-time" costs with something like that. But cmon, you clearly know where is the problem with this move, the trust of your customer.

Subscription based is a disease that the whole world has, and appsumo *should* be the place to avoid that.

I hope they move some essential feature to the pro back, then i'll change for the better this review.

I want to start by saying how amazing the new Elite Plan is! I’m thrilled that this company is taking steps to secure funding through this initiative, which will benefit everyone who supports them. Their commitment to innovation and quality is evident, and it’s a direction that I believe will lead to a sustainable future.

To clarify and provide firsthand insight into the situation regarding the bad reviews, I found some important information on the company's website that I believe will be helpful for everyone. It clearly states that the Pro Plan has not changed, and their commitment to continuous improvement remains strong.

Here’s what they say:

1. The Pro Plan Remains Unchanged
There has been a misconception that the Pro Plan name has changed or been altered. Let us be clear: the Pro Plan is still the Pro Plan. There has been no name change or loss of features. To reference the deal terms clearly: "All future Pro Plan updates" have been honored and continue to be delivered. We've rolled out over 100 updates that directly improve the Pro Plan, including:

40+ new blocks for website customization
Advanced AI features for easier site-building
New integration options
Expanded website settings and more

2. Commitment to Continuous Improvement
The deal also specified that users would receive "All future Pro Plan updates," and we have honored that promise consistently. This commitment is not only part of our core value but is clearly stated in the original deal you agreed to: "If the plan name changes, the deal will be mapped to the new Plan name with all accompanying updates."

However, to be clear, the Pro Plan name has not changed, and it retains all its original features and updates. This mapping clause was included for transparency, ensuring that you would not lose any benefits if we ever renamed or restructured plans in the future.

We have also introduced additional plans, like the Elite Plan, which is geared toward agencies and users requiring extra features. But upgrading is entirely optional, and the Pro Plan remains available to all early adopters with its original terms intact.

Conclusion: A Bright Future Ahead
As someone who truly appreciates what this company offers, I wholeheartedly support their journey toward sustainability and growth. The introduction of an Elite Plan reflects their understanding of user needs and their commitment to catering to a diverse audience. I believe this approach will not only help them secure necessary funding but also pave the way for further innovation and improvement.

While it's natural for users to express their concerns, I encourage everyone to consider the positive strides this company is making. I’m excited for what's to come and will continue to support them wholeheartedly!

I was trying to deploy my website, and to my surprise, the new custom domain section no longer allows me to choose options A and B for redirection. My only options are C and D, even though I'm on the max plan. Since my domain provider does not support the methods mentioned in C and D, it says that I need to contact Lindo support to get a new A record.

However, when I emailed them, they haven't replied to me for about two weeks now. I tried their chatbox, but it's just a templated AI response. I don't know where else to contact them as I need to deploy the website. I hope they will be able to fix their support team as I have high hopes for Lindo.

Otherwise, they should open options A and B for custom domains.

This company is 100% a bait and switch. I should have access to two websites per the AppSumo Tier 1 agreement, but whenever I try to do anything it prompts me to upgrade to the elite plan. They even changed the original website I created when I first was playing around with this product to be just a button to upgrade my plan.

Heed my warning: Do not do business with this company!

We all Sumo-Lings had high expectations of Lindo AI and invested our money in a product that, on paper, looked extremely promising.
Unfortunately, the platform proved to be what it is: limited, full of bugs, without a solid roadmap and with bland and spent updates. After almost 9 months, it still lacks basic tools of a proper editor for those working in this field.
And then the coup de grace: with a play on words, we were persuaded to buy an agency TIER, when it lacks everything an agency needs to work with clients-and these features are now offered with a recurring EXTRA plan, to take more money from us Sumo-Lings who despite everything, put our trust in the product and did not ask for a refund because we had believed these false promises.
Unfortunately, I feel I cannot recommend Lindo AI in any way.
(And you can also see this from the standard, detached message that the Lindo team is leaving to all the negative comments, posted by disappointed customers).

I had high expectations about this product though I was a bit nervous to invest 500$ to Lindo Ai and that's why I really thought through before purchasing the highest Tier 5. It seemed promising though quite unfinished product when I bought it.

It was not a problem for me to wait updates at that time, but still after 8 months basic but more refined editing possibilities are still missing - such as ability ability to edit font sizes, color schemes... + create templates and many more. Basic things that one need when designing sites for a client. Lindo Team really fooled us agencies to think that we as early adopters meant something to them and we could have the possibility to enjoy updates and features which they implied here in appsumo (for example AI-powered block generator, blocks, agency version...) - and also assured those features to be included to their deal (at least Tier 5).

And now suddenly I find my account to be an a lowest plan (?? what a joke) and feel pressured to buy monthly paid elite plan. They just wanted to collect our money and "And laugh on the way to the bank" as saying goes here in Finland.

Unfortunately, I Can't recommend Lindo (ai / team) in any way. How you can trust them after this?

I purchased the top tier plan because I believed this website builder would be an industry leader.

Imagine my shock when I opened an email from Lindo.ai saying I needed to pay an additional $99 a month or $199 a month if I didn't upgrade right away to get the features I was lead to believe I was getting in the first place!

My choices now are to give them more money when I can no longer trust them, when and what will the next "upsell" be, or to support a company I can trust and values it's clients?

I guess it's time to put all the Appsumo buyers out to pasture and move onto greener fields!

I paid $299 for Tier 3 and really looked forward to seeing what this app could do. Created my website--but guess what? I can't even view it, edit it, NOTHING because it's been DEACTIVATED until I UPGRADE TO PRO? I spent $299 for ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! If this isn't a TOTAL RIP-OFF, I don't know what is? Where is Appsumo in this mess? FUMING! https://sharemyimage.com/image/DEACTIVATED.lGKI8g

You spend hard-earned money on software that doesn't even let you into the system. Do yourself a favour and stay away from this software before it eventually closes down from lack of service. I have had an account for a while, but only use it occasionally. Every time I try to log in it won't work with a microsoft login. I finally got an answer from Saeed after it eventually let me in after 2 weeks and I was able to contact for help. (There is nowhere to contact these guys if you cant log into the system.) Saeed said oh yes we have problems with Microsoft. Well then fix your problem or start refunding people on Appsumo. Tired of asking to get into software that i paid top tier for.

I'm writing this review with a heavy heart, as I've never felt compelled to write a negative review before. Unfortunately, my experience with Lindo.ai has been so disappointing that I feel obligated to share my perspective. The product, once available on AppSumo, has fallen far short of its initial promises.

Key features advertised during the campaign, such as exporting your entire website, utilizing an AI-powered block generator, will now be locked behind a paywall (Elite subscription). This is a blatant betrayal of the trust of customers who invested in this product based on those promises. A mere 50% discount on the Elite tier does not soften this blow, nor makes it attractive. We already payed for this product...

The slow update cycle leaves users waiting for essential features that hinder website creation. Additionally, many basic design features, like the ability to edit font sizes for example, remain missing. The sudden introduction of a seemingly forced subscription tier feels like a deceptive tactic to extract more money from loyal customers who backed this company on AppSumo.

I strongly advise anyone considering Lindo.ai to steer clear. This company has demonstrated a disregard for its customer base and a willingness to prioritize profit over delivering on its commitments and promises.

Such a disappointment and waste of time. I love Appsumo but please screen these money grabbing companies more thoroughly in the future. This is not healthy for your company either.

Like a previous person wrote on here. Lindo.ai, please make this right or give a refund.

During my time on AS, I've purchased multiple deals, some better than others. When I saw Lindo AI's offer, it seemed like the perfect solution for scaling my agency, but it wasn't quite there yet. Half-baked, but promising. I decided to give it a shot and invest in Tier 5, believing in this tool's bright future and wanting to be part of it. Fast-forward nine months, Lindo is getting there, but leaving its early users behind (a paywall).

The promise of unlimited AI-powered websites, white-labeling, agency features, blocks, and many other future updates has evaporated faster than morning dew. Instead, we're now facing a "Pro Plan" as the lowest of their offering (quite a joke), and an "Elite Plan" with a hefty annual fee being presented as the deal of the century, gating features that were supposed to be part of our lifetime deal—features that we, the early users, were reporting back to Lindo to develop, making the software a better product.

What stings the most isn't just the financial hit, but the betrayal of trust. We aren't just customers; we are early adopters, beta testers, early fund providers, and believers in Lindo AI's vision. Now it feels like our investment and feedback were just stepping stones for them to reach a more lucrative business model—one that is being yet again sold back to us.

This experience raises serious questions about the sustainability of "lifetime" deals and AppSumo's ability to protect its community from such bait-and-switch tactics.

To Lindo AI: It's not too late to make this right. Honor your promises or offer full refunds.

To AppSumo: Your reputation is on the line. It's time to implement stronger safeguards for your users.

To fellow entrepreneurs: Proceed with caution. In the world of lifetime deals, "forever" might just mean "until we change our minds."

It's a shame because the system works well, but as people here have said, we've all been lied to. I bought a 5-license LTD plan based on the promises made by the developers in the comments: white label, unlimited website exports, and an agency version on the way.

It's very unfortunate that these things happen, and that Appsumo has no control or signed contracts to enforce these kinds of "agreements" when they are published here. This isn't the first time these types of deceptions have occurred, and as customers and users, we find ourselves defenseless.

As for me, I've been thinking about it for a while: I'm not going to keep wasting my money here just to enrich a bunch of scammers. I'm done buying from Appsumo. It's not worth it.

Answer to Founder: You keep copying and pasting the same message in all the reviews. You could at least have the decency to stop treating us like fools.
