You're talking about a service which is theoretically used every day to help you run your life, and you think $40/year is expensive? In my experience, even my poorer friends routinely spend that at a bar or a restaurant.

I've spent lots on various GTD apps, but lately settled on facilethings.com which is focused on the GTD workflow. I pay around $100/year.

That would be a great point if it wasn't competing in a marketplace with other products. None of those pro features make me go "wow, this saves me so much time" compared to other offerings.

My argument isn't that paying $40 for software a year is obscene, it's that this particular feature set in the competitive space is not worth $40 to me. And correct me if I'm wrong, but if I actually wanted to use these features with my girlfriend, would we not have to both spend $40?

That's not what you said, though. It was your argument, then you realized you were overstating your case. Why not just say so?

It literally is what I said. I'm unsure what you're reading.

"$40 a year is obscene for what they offer IMO". Please feel free to show me the exact time I said "Paying $40 a year for any type of software is ridiculous".

Todoist is half of that price and basically can be used daily without notifications and comments for free.

Task warrior costs nothing. And does a whole lot too.

It's a shinier version of a tasks function available in every phone for $0.
