Another LTD rip-off all AI credits zeroed - full pay to play despite being in from the start
I don't blame appsumo for this, but just in case Taskade ever come near appsumo again here is my current review.
As a Tier 3 user of Taskade through AppSumo, I’ve experienced significant changes that have impacted my workflow and trust in the platform:
The unlimited AI access I initially had was quietly replaced with strict AI credit limits, which severely restricts how much I can use the AI features. My plan was downgraded from the top-tier Ultimate/Tier 3 level to a lower-tier Pro plan without any clear communication or warning. Key features I relied on, like AI agents and knowledge base access, which were included in the original lifetime deal, are now either locked behind additional payments or completely restricted. These changes happened abruptly with no prior notice. Overall, I feel this shift from unlimited access to paid usage is a breach of trust and has disrupted important workflows and business processes that depended on those AI capabilities. Many other users share these frustrations, and discussions about restoring the original access.
Again the sustainability of LTDs raise their ugly head, if you want a quick smash and grab software to churn out short-term benefits great, but you really cannot rely on these products for your long-term business when some proprietors don't honour their original deals.
I gave this product 5 stars originally nearly 2 years ago. The product was amazing as a Notion alternative. Luckily I did not use it to manage project because it has now changed into some AI agent vibe coding platform and move away from its original purpose.
They should have stuck to what they did best with managing tasks, projects and to-do. They used to release regular videos on YouTube with existing updates and now it just seems some sort of trying to do everything mess. Such a shame to lose what was a great product. Their Discord channel is just flooded with spam.
This app barely has anything to do with the original purpose anymore.
Everywhere a window pops up -> create an app, without the option to disable it.
The purpose has changed.
Basically, I find the features good, but the way Appsumo supporters are treated is really bad.
You can barely use the app without credits anymore and have to buy the almost regular subscription or purchase credits. A small amount of monthly credits would have been fair, but setting them completely to 0 reveals the makers' goal at Taskade. You have to keep buying.
Bait and Switch. No direction. I feel Scammed by Taskade.
I was an early supporter of this app and have watched it detract from its primary mission of Task Management to devolve into absolute AI Slop with no direction. The founder of this app never had a clear roadmap of where this product is going. Even though I had a lifetime deal they broke their own terms and now they’re forcing us to buy AI credits just to use the dang app we already paid hundreds for.
We paid for what you promised: UNLIMITED AI agents. Period. but your silly loophole now is us AppSumo users can’t use ANY of our AI “unlimited” agents without paying every single month? What was the point of ever promising Unlimited AI agents to Lifetime deal holders if you goal all along was to lock their functionality behind a subscription? Deceptive behavior from Taskade.
If you were building with Taskade, these greedy corporate people just broke all your hard work, your whole project just so they can make a dollar. AND they just raised the price of AI credits as an extra slap in the face. This is how you reward your earliest supporters? What a joke. I’m done with these bait-and-switches by SaaS companies on AppSumo. Would give 0 tacos if I could!

Changing of the goal posts - LTD cancelled!
Taskade removed Ai agents and knowledge base, I spent 100s of hours compiling.
I've used Taskade since 11/2022, it was a lifetime deal LTD and fantastic.
Today, 03 April 2026 I wanted to build a website and was prompted to purchase credits.
This is disgusting behaviour I've noticed from other LTDs as well.
**Everything listed below got removed, but used to be included since Day 1 purchase**:
* Taskade AI
* Unlimited AI agents
* Automations
* Train agents with my data.
* Password-protected sharing
* Removed Taskade branding
* Connect 100+ integrations
I already have a Google Gemini subscription, why will pay for Taskade as well when I already bought the LIFETIME deal?
