Very Good Product
I’ve been using your service and find it very useful. I wanted to kindly suggest adding PayPal as a payment option. PayPal is widely used and trusted, and having it integrated would make monetization much easier and more accessible for many users, myself included.

May 19, 2026Thank you so much for your review! We have considered adding PayPal as an option instead of Stripe, we even use it for affiliate payouts. If you make a post on our community forum, listing where you're located, we might be able to help further!

accounts BANNED
someone should tell PickAxe that in 2026 you don’t ban or delete accounts if they haven’t migrated, especially if those accounts were bought via AppSumo as lifetime deals! we are aware of numerous users whose accounts got removed—or rather banned. this is a clear violation of the sale terms advertised. the crazier part is AppSumo thinks it’s not a problem? over the last few years AppSumo has been dropping the ball.

May 1, 2026Hi,
We gave users 9 MONTHS to migrate to the new system. We sent 10 emails over the course of that time. I'm sorry you missed it, but we couldn't maintain the AppSumo migration infrastructure forever.

Now they deactivated account! - Unfair
They deactivated my account. Their response was that they had emailed users to migrate to the new portal, and since I didn't do so within the given timeframe, I missed the window — and now my account has been permanently disabled.
However, I could not find any such email in my inbox asking me to migrate to the new portal within a limited period.

Pickaxe degraded our deals
Due to the change from credit system to "dollar" system, the deals now are laughable. Value of the deal dropped like 98%. Total scam and unethical move from Pickaxe company, I hope Appsumo will stand by us and help us get back the value we had.

Edited Feb 23, 2026Hi Siven,
Sorry to hear you feel that way. Actually we were pretty generous with AppSumo users when we made the switch. All 3 AppSumo tiers get between $10-$15 per month of usage... every month... in for life! Our gold users that pay $37/m only get $15/m of usage.
$15 would amount to about 75 thousand interactions with Gemini 2.0 Flash... way more than the ~750 "uses" credits you may have had...

Questionable Ethics.
I picked up this tool on I think the Tier 2 level when it was first on Appsumo. Played around with it but wasnt quite sure it was ready for prime time so I shelved it to come back later. No problem. When I come back to check on the progress it seems that there have been some, unfortunately most dont apply to LTD buyers. Unfortunate, but fair enough. Whats not fair is that major features of the LTD (Document limits and most importantly Bring Your Own API key) have been removed. I honestly would not have purchased if these features were not offered and judging by the recent reviews many others feel the same. Super shady. Of course we're past the refund period so this will just be pretty much a toy for me now. But I dont like the feeling of being conned.

Edited Jan 29, 2026Thanks for the feedback! The document limit & BYOK changes we made apply to ALL CUSTOMERS, not just LTD holders. Sorry to hear this damages your opinion of the product.
The product today has years of the team's effort and tons of money poured into it. It is almost unrecognizable from where it was a year ago, and we're very proud of the changes we've been able to make.
Unlike any other company I...
