TaskMagic Reviews

After tiring of Zapier, I switched to Make and was much happier.
...until I purchased TaskMagic here on AppSumo.
It's even easier than Make; much easier.
In fact, it's simple.
TaskMagic makes automating tasks a breeze!
5 tacos all the way!

TaskMagic is an absolute game-changer when it comes to automating web-based tasks! I've tested numerous automation tools over the years, but TaskMagic stands out with its intuitive interface and AI-powered functionality. The ability to capture a process once and replicate it effortlessly saved me countless hours of manual work.

Here's what I absolutely loved about TaskMagic:

Ease of Use: The platform is incredibly user-friendly, even for those with minimal tech experience. Capturing and automating processes feels seamless.
AI-Powered Efficiency: The AI handles complex workflows like a pro, minimizing errors and maximizing accuracy.
Customization Options: The flexibility to tweak automation workflows ensures that it meets specific business needs, whether it's for data entry, lead generation, or repetitive browser tasks.
Time-Saving Superpowers: What used to take hours can now be done in mere minutes—it's like having an extra pair of hands at work.
Stellar Support: The TaskMagic team has been highly responsive and helpful in addressing any questions I had during setup.
If I had to nitpick, I’d say there’s a slight learning curve for ultra-complex tasks, but the payoff is massive once you get the hang of it.

Overall, TaskMagic has completely transformed how I manage repetitive tasks, giving me more time to focus on strategic goals. If you’re tired of manual processes slowing you down, TaskMagic is the tool you need in your arsenal. Highly recommend it to business owners, freelancers, and anyone looking to optimize their workflow!

Here is the use case I have had and how TaskMagic worked for within the scope of the use case.

Scrape the first result of a Google page with information from a Google sheet.

They go over how to scrape using google sheets here: https://help.taskmagic.com/help-center/s5FiF82Lv6xeJADe7k8pss/getting-started-with-automation-logic-how-to-think/jGisaZbaupaAvpoX1BuS9q

The actual implementation was hit or miss- on some runs it would refuse to read from Google Sheets. On others it would be able to read from Google sheets. This quickly got annoying because the whole point of this type of automation product is that I can leave it to work it's magic.

There are a few ease of use issues as well. For example, I want TM to search only for @var1 @var2 site:instagram.com . When I record the in the browser recorder, I have to manually type out Goldfish electronica site:instagram.com, then go and change the variables afterwards to be @var1 and @var2. I have to always remember to send out to google sheets and create a new google sheet for variables to write to (otherwise it appends to end of the first column)

For now, I am using ZeroWork, which has been much more reliable than TaskMagic. I hope that TM will be able to work eventually, but for now, it's been pretty disappointing.

This review is not to criticize TM, just to give other buyer's/potential buyers a real understanding of the product when making a purchasing decision.

I am a software developer so take my perspective with a grain of salt.

I do most things through code but TM has been great for clicking buttons on websites and grabbing data in a repeated way

One quick example is how I made an interest rate watcher to watch mortgage rates on big bank websites. I once went from 1.67% to 5% during the last few years of interest rate hikes so i'm never making that mistake again and TM has been helpful to achieve that

I use N8n to integrate things since I have unlimited usage with my self hosted version

the product is not ready yet. even the simplest of steps and functions like filters and google sheets integrations have their own free will and will not behave the way you want them to as per your workflow.

if you wish to troubleshoot bugs/issues, the support is practically non-existent. the "best" way to get help on every small and big issue is to make a post in their skool community and hope that someone replies in a few days in a way that doesn't solve your problem completely. When you ask an obvious followup, you'll need to wait for few more days.

The tool and its UI are not at all intuitive. most competing products are much easier on the eye and the brain. to make it worse, they recorded an entire training in the old version and then changed the UI, rendering the training videos meaningless. They have probably pivoted to building their other more recent software instead of focusing on making taskmagic usable.

Then the issue of the pricing. Where most softwares on appsumo charge 3-4 months of their actual pricing, these guys charge 20 months of their website pricing in advance for such a buggy product!
Even their cloud hours is priced exorbitantly. they use activepieces in their backend for their workflows which offered 200,000 tasks per month for $239. but taskmagic offers just 18,000 activepieces tasks per month (6 cloud hours) on Tier 4 for $999!

Not worth it.
