Disagree with this. Companies like Microsoft, and Zoho provide these types of tools as part of a broader subscription. For $5/user, I can get email, MS Teams, cloud storage, a tool similar to this, plus tons more.

Why would I pay $12/user just for this tool?

Because no indie dev can compete with big co when it comes to pricing. It’s just a race to the bottom.

Where you have a chance to compete is by offering a differentiated service like q boutique company.

I don’t want to get customers that will complain about paying an extra $6. These are the people that will complain about minor things and just cause trouble. Raising prices will get rid of these problematic customers. People that really see the value of a bespoke solution will still pay for it

What MS product in 365 Business Basic does what this does?

MS Teams with the Planner and ToDo integrations. Planner: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/use-planner-in-mi...

Teams already has chat, meetings, calendar, wiki (but a very shitty one), file storage, docs via a OneNote document.

I kind of agree with OP, it looks nice for my personal stuff.

But if you are a company, why? And why trust their cloud with your data over a company like Google or MS?
