Quick Warning Before Download!
As a product manager that has worked for many large companies, Cake/Clockify made a recent update that caught many users by surprise and gated functionality aggressively.
While having free vs paid functionality is common, removing free functionality that people depend on for workflows is typically done with months of advance notice. Recent changes such as export to Excel and date ranges of reporting have been moved from free to paid. Every feature has a cost to maintain, this is common. Reporting can be a heavy cost if don’t managed well. So sometimes things need to migrate from free to paid.
There are two issues:
1. A company should think long and hard about changing free functionality, and how that impact user base is in workflows. A company that has analytics and can see how much core functionality is being used. There are arguments that Data storage and reports and things like that can create cost, but there are ways of working around that as well. I’ve managed the development of 13 globally used application mobile and web applications. I know.
2. If you have all of that information, and you only provide a month’s worth of notice. They clearly communicate something about priority. The goal is that when you go to get a drink of water, all of a sudden it cost three dollars.
The core application still works well. It has certainly saved me from vibecoding my own application or relying on other applications that I consider subpar.
Unfortunately, given how things have been handled, I’ve instructed my employees and organizations that I consult for to migrate to other solutions. Perhaps this is what Cake wants, but it doesn’t feel like the respectful way to move forward.
Nice app but extra clicks for no reason
Easy and clean
Never had to sign into any app this often
I have never ever known any other app that needs me to constantly sign in.
Every. Single. Time.
