💸💸 Harvest price hike hits business with 1500% increase in bills

｢ Harvest was acquired by the Italian tech company Bending Spoons in 2025, and changed its pricing structure the following year.
Many businesses who pay annually are only now finding out about the increase, as their payment is now coming up for renewal ｣

So, 🤡 Bending Spoons swoops in, waves a magic wand, and *abracadabra* 💸—your Harvest bills now come with a side of bankruptcy! Because clearly, nothing says "innovation" like a 1500% price increase to remind you that the only thing bending here is your wallet. 🤦‍♂️

1 day and 16 hours ago, harvest (now owned by the private equity company #bendingspoons) sent a notice that the cost to use their service would rise from $184/year to $1,158/year (USD)

a month ago, they disabled CSV export of invoice data, which i used to do my taxes

they've replaced their customer support with LLM gaslighting

i've replaced their service with a python script and a spreadsheet :blobcat_thisisfine:

Now that #Meetup is going all in on dark patterns, with #BendingSpoons having rewritten its mobile app to cram people into extra groups and pitch them unnecessary paid subscriptions, I’m looking to move a 500+ person group off. What do others use for free social group event organizing?
