I do tend to agree, unless you reach large numbers of users and get around a 2% - 5% conversion rate to paid subscriptions I don't think freemium is good.
However, with it being a task management app it isn't impossible that it will break this kind of number. Though with the competition it may be a bit of a long shot.

I think the key question is whether they will reach that level of users...I guess not. To reach 10 million + users which is the only way I see to make this worthwhile would take a massive amount of effort in a crowded marketplace like this, it isn't likely at all.
So with that being said, going freemium is probably the death-knell for the product.

Thanks for the feedback I appreciate. While it is beta we are not charging and what you're using now will remain free but we will be looking at expansion, for more information you can take a look here.

I don't like your homepage design or the comic font, it isn't a good image for business applications.
I think you should reconsider the images and the font as it doesn't make your application look professional whatsoever. It isn't advisable when you are trying to advertise that your task management application makes people's lives more organised...

I do agree that serious applications moving towards a more cartoonish feel is not a good design trend.
However, in this case I can't agree as I don't think anything you pointed out is over-done. The font comes close, but it isn't used for every single word, just for emphasis on certain words.

Thanks for the feedback both of you. Our design was intentionally kept a bit light-hearted while trying to maintain professionalism.
We do think this strikes a good balance.

I really hate anime and it seems to be coming more pervasive in the web design world.
Actually cartoonish website design is getting more common. You can check Dropbox's new website.
Where's your data hosted? I don't trust the US government so rather host my own solution.
This is becoming a big problem for me. A lot of my project information is extremely sensitive so I would prefer a service outside of the US possibly with an encrypted database and would be willing to pay for it. I haven't found one yet...

While I respect freemium can work for some, for the vast majority it is a completely overused model. You are not going to make money on freemium unless you have a large user base, period.
This _really_ makes me unlikely to take your product serious as I don't know whether or not you will be here tomorrow. I have been stung before by tools with freemium pricing that ceased operation. I would much rather you charged a fee that was sustainable in the long run.
