I currently have a Gold membership, expiring in May 2019. I will be very surprised if I renew based on the current tiers.

- Gold price is currently $30 pa.
- New Gold price is $90.

- Silver price is currently $20
- New Silver price is $60.

- 1 week task retention, even on PAID plans.
- Other ridiculous changes to available features per tier.

- stating prices per month, even though its billed annually, to trick you into thinking its cheaper / not realising what a huge price increase they've rolled out

Seriously?! It just feels like you are completely screwing over your entire membership base.
