The $40 (25 GBP) upgrade to the Plus plan to be able to export any of my data really rubs me the wrong way. I thought we'd generally decided that was a bad way to make money...


Hi Chris,

ok this tell me that written like that, the features is very misleading. You can ALWAYS retrieve all the data via API on any plan. The data is yours.

The export one is just a commodity to have it formatted on an Excel or CVS file (good for non tech people or for those who dont want to integrate via API to collect data)

Does it makes sense?

Thanks for this comment!


By 'retrieve all the data' do you mean I'll have to write a script that goes through the API, iterates over things, and dumps it into a format I would like? Or is there a single 'dump' API endpoint that gives me all the data?


At this moment the first one you mentioned, but the second one is a good suggestion. writing it down now :)


Agreed...


I value my time at $125/hour. If this saves me 20 minutes it is a win. $40 is pocket change.


That's a $0.75 comment right there, folks.


So this really depends on how quickly you can do the job :)
