I'm definitely intrigued. We've used everything under the sun and always end up falling back to Asana (we're a small design agency).

Looking forward to trying this out!

Edit: You guys might want to be a bit more clear that you're requiring a credit card to signup for beta access, even if you're not charging for 30 days.

Thanks for your feedback. The current flow allows me to see who's interested in the product, but may not be interested in paying. If the price was front and center from the get-go, I wouldn't have ever known of numerous users who showed interest.

On the other hand, hiding the price also drives away people (like me) who feel tricked by that practice.

FWIW, I'd be quite interested in paying, but I'm hesitant to provide my credit card to a website with no track-record just to evaluate their product. I'd happily provide my paypal info though.
Good to know regarding Paypal.
The truth is that I also felt tricked by this approach. I thought that the service was free until I gave you my email. Not nice, guys. Even being tricked this way, I'm still considering the idea to pay, but $9 might be too much for the use I'd give the product. Not sure...

On the other hand, I'd really encourage you to implement the export data feature. I do not commit to any cloud service if I cannot get my data back if the business closes (unlikely with big companies, more likely with startups :).

Pricing page is live now. We were definitely not trying to be tricky. The goal was to see who was interested in the product, but not willing to pay for a subscription. Nevertheless, the feedback was clear that we needed to show pricing. Thanks for your interest. Import/Export data is in the top 3 items of our roadmap. It's in the works.
If you could offer even a shorter period of trial without needs of credit card information up front, I would have been happier.

I'm not inclined to put in my credit card number up front for the service that I'm not even sure right for me or not...
