For comparisons to other productivity software systems, it's actually comparable to Evernote at $7.99 USD/month, with similar functionality (except the drag-and-drop from tasks to a schedule). In contrast, Todoist is around $4 USD/month, which matches Notion's Personal Pro plan.

> it's actually comparable to Evernote at $7.99 USD/month No, it's not remotely comparable to a product that's had millions of customers for years and years, after basically creating this industry. Most Evernote customers pay $70/year. And for that matter, Evernote regularly has sales to get new users at $42 for the first year.

  Industry insiders and experts can tell you the history of who did what and when. But "comparable" is in the eye of the beholder (i.e. the potential customer). Does the customer anchor on Evernote? Maybe. Maybe not. I tend to think "almost certainly not." I have not once thought of Evernote as an all-inclusive productivity, calendaring, and organizing tool. But that's just me.

  Ah, the tired old arguing over if something is comparable or not. People. If you define something as binary (on or off), you have to set a threshold. Don't expect others to share your definition. But feel free to bicker away.

    There's nothing to argue about in this case. Trust is incredibly important when you're asking people to give you their personal data. Evernote has an established track record, and this is a Show HN. Evernote is objectively better in that critical area.

  It remains comparable in absolute terms ($7 versus $7.99). Users can therefore be conditioned to think it's not that expensive. Despite its respected legacy and heavy marketing over the years, it's not exceptional enough at its current state (after its switch to Electron) to say that no other productivity app can charge around that price. If the app had mobile apps and better privacy assurances that your calendar information and tasks won't be used in advertising, the pricing would not be outrageous at all.
