Pricing Issues Reported by Users
No free plan - $15/month minimum with no affordable tier
Roam Research doesn't offer a free plan at all. The minimum is $15/month or $180/year for the Pro plan. This is exceptionally expensive for a note-taking app, especially when alternatives like Obsidian and Logseq offer similar features for free. The 31-day trial converts to annual billing if not cancelled.
Annual billing trap after trial ends
Users complain about being charged for a 12-month subscription after a 1-month trial, describing it as a 'try and forget' strategy profiting from forgetful people. The trial auto-converts to annual billing, catching users off guard with a $180 charge.
