Priority Matrix - Q&A

I’ve just been reminding myself of Priority Matrix - I installed the iPad version a long time ago, then uninstalled it. But it’s made some impressive strides since then - looks really rather good. I do think not having a 30-day trial is a bit of a mistake, though - task management is a very personal thing, in my experience, and people like to experiment with lots of different models before settling on the “right one”. If you can’t install a trial and play with it, you’re likely to move on. I’ve looked at the Windows version, but can’t quite bring myself to shell out $50 for it…

I’d also have to agree that the subscription charge is ridiculous. There are many very powerful alternatives out there (Podio, for example) that cost nothing at the lower end of the scale, but offer mobile clients and all sorts. I’m not suggesting you should charge nothing, but there’s no way I’d be paying that kind of monthly charge for a single-function app. You could much more reasonably use alternatives like e.g. Kerio Workspace, Atlassian Confluence etc. for the same purpose, with many of the same functions for team interaction (you could easily create a priority matrix in Kerio Workspace, for example). Both pieces of software have cheap/free basic versions.
