These things really didn’t bother me over the short term for several reasons: Help is spread out amongst an online forum, YouTube videos, Twitter, a Slack channel and a multitude of community-run websites and pricey online tutorial courses. There is no public roadmap outside of intermittent tweets from the company founders. New functionality, when it does get added, seems only half-baked (take the delta function, for instance, which was supposed to be the solution to spaced repetition in Roam). Releases are brisk, but what’s being worked on at any given moment is vague. Coming in at $15 per month - or $500 up front for a 5-year subscription as part of their “Believer’s” plan - Roam is more expensive than any other SASS application or knowledge tool out there.įor another thing, Roam’s development is a bit haphazard.
That being said, I also think Roam has its issues.įor one thing, it is expensive. What the founders are doing with block-level text manipulation has turned it into a ground-breaking tool for writing and knowledge-work. Let me start by saying, I think Roam is amazing. This will be a long read, but hopefully a helpful one for folks trying to decide between these two applications.įor some background, I am a fairly long-standing Roam user, having used the application since around February 2020 up until the last few months.
