Hi Adam @SafetyUniversity – All good points, and thanks for taking the time to reply.
I have come from experience on local DB’s and also 2 other online DB platforms, and I have to say the functionality in Tadabase is superior to both the online platforms in nearly all cases. And it is also faster.
However the downside is there seems to be a few more bugs or things that are not complete yet in Tada? ( I understand from @moe 's post here Tadabase in 2022 that bug elimination is big focus of the TB team this year, so thats encouraging!)
To answer your question, I just bought the ‘personal’ plan @$149 a month just while I trial, however the app I am migrating will need the Performance plan, if I continue.
I have also found the chat support great. I have only dealt with @tim.young and @Megan and both have been very responsive and knowledgeable, but all the things I have chatted about have turned out to be bugs so not something they can fix on the spot. Also guess just having the option of chat support is also a big plus, most other platforms don’t offer this. Mostly though, I think I will use the ticket system as I have four issues/bugs open now so it got harder to track with chat anyway. I will leave chat for emergencies.
Getting back to the ‘elephant in the room’ and @Peter_J s OP: The change to per app pricing (so no more Dev>Test>Prod capability) + now with no ability to rollback (I am referring to the “Versioning, backups, and restores” post I linked above - functionality that was launched in March ’21 and then seemingly still pulled?) is going to be a showstopper for me.
One of these has 2 factors has to change.
I am actually continuing to develop on Tada, since I have spent a good 3 weeks on it already (trial and then bought a month plan) but yeah, seriously concerned and at that same time encouraged to know that others are also of the same mindset.
Hopefully the ‘backups-and-restores’ functionality will be re-released soon ??
Calvin.
