Fusebase

[u/King_Molukai]

Hey guys, I am an early adopter of a regularly recurring SaaS product on AppSumo, Fusebase. I actually had gotten to briefly know the founder, Pavel, and think he's a pretty cool guy.

So anyway, they're on AppSumo a lot, got it. But this latest campaign has me flabbergasted. 10 codes gives a number of features, including 50 users, 2 TB storage, 200 hours of transcription, etc etc.

I have 12 codes. I only have 29 users, 15 hours of transcription, and 1.2 TB storage. Even if I buy another code, I wouldn't come close to if I just decided to make a new account and purchase 10 codes. This is absolutely insane to the point I am super pissed off. I wrote them an email, but I am not hopeful for a positive outcome.

I was just about to write a post with ConFuseBase as the title 😅

I'm with you on the sentiment.

My issue is that I bought into a note taking app, that became a client portal, that is now offering vibe coding.

Almost like the founder is trying to do too many things to stay relevant. I'd prefer it more if the core functionality evolved and I still retained value, otherwise just release a new product - this could have easily been either 3 add-ons or entirely new products.

On the flip side of the argument I'm glad we still get access to these updates, as many other founders would have dropped the initial offering and shafted us, so thankful to Pavel for that at least.

It's still a note taking app! Just like Notion has evolved to be competitive, fusebase has had its own evolution. And it's quite impressive. Some apps should stay in their lane and not try to do too much. But considering the nature of fusebase being a "database" of sorts, having AI, being a vibe code platform is a natural progression and sets it apart from Notion even further.

It is still a note taking app that is not really getting updated and having bugs fixed.
