Nowa

I subscribed to tier 2 to gain access to the desktop environment and its features, only to discover that from version 3 onwards, these offerings are included in the free tier of the new subscription model.

A typical bait and switch after a year of the last call on AppSumo. I stood by this company and supported their software development journey, yet now I feel like just another user benefiting from the for everyone free features I paid money for. This unfortunate trend extends to all other tiers, which have also been "downgraded" to what is now available for free.

It would have been prudent for nowa to create a way to link the AppSumo tiers to the higher subscription levels or, at the very least, to provide all users access to a basic paid tier. They talk about allocating AI credits according to tier levels, but I question the actual value of these credits in the new pricing model, especially considering the previous limitations on AppSumo tier projections and the incrementally risen costs of nowa subscription packages.

It’s disheartening to see another company diminishing the reputation of lifetime deals and SaaS backing before they truly mature. Shame on you nowa!
