Pickaxe just dumped Appsumo buyers.
Exactly when the "refund" period with appsumo finished. They launched a "New version".
They also launched a "special offer" to buy add-ons and perks for their "successful journey". TOO expensive, something like 1,000 USD, for some benefits we suppose to have on the appsumo deal.
It seems they failed, therefore, they are finding ways to limit Appsumo users by limiting their plans.
1. After building 3 studios (I bought the option T3 of 50), now they limit the amount of data coming from URL links. TO ONLY 50 PAGES!
2. Even though they agreed that the only limitation was anchored in the amount of documents uploaded (50), they started to limit the amount of links fetched.
3. No single Pickaxe project can live with only 50 pages. That is insane. Therefore, they are pushing everyone to buy or upgrade.
4. Futhermore, Pickaxe is now limiting the amount of data used per Studio, even though the deal clearly states that the limitations apply to each Pickaxe, not to every Studio.
The original deal stated that the limitations on documents uploaded apply to each pickaxe, not to each studio. If I am allowed to fetch 50 documents per pickaxe and I have three pickaxes in one studio, it means I should be able to fetch 150 documents.
However, now the 50-document limit applies to all three pickaxes combined. Furthermore, every link is now also considered a document, which makes the pickaxe completely useless.
No really ethical from the Pickaxe team side. I already looked for some answers on social media, and it seems people are furious about this change.
I hope Appsumo take action on this. Appsumo buyers are being scammed.
