Brian
HobiCo Comics

Before finally landing on Sage, Brian went through tools like Jarvis, ChatGPT, and plain old email.

First there were Emails + Meetings
Fine for a while, but eventually not enough.
Google Docs didn’t do it
More documents and spreadsheets
didn’t make things better.
Next it was Slack
Chat made communication faster
than email, but there’s so much more
to collaborating than just talking.
Then Jarvis got a shot
Too technical, too task-oriented.

Finally, Brian found Sage

“Sage is my second brain, it’s where I go to document upcoming features, build user stories, and track work.
I couldn’t get by without Sage!” —Brian, HobiCo Comics

Cait
Latitude Co

Latitude Co’s path is a common one of combining multiple tools only to find more isn’t better. They did try Sage early, but left to play the field a bit. But after exploring other tools, they circled back and rediscovered Sage. The rest is history.

They tried Trello + ChatGPT
Trello for tracking work and ChatGPT for communications didn’t cut it.
Then working with Sage
Next they gave Sage a try
but it didnt’t stick. Yet.
Next they tried Airtable + ChatGPT
Back to a combo, this time Airtable
and ChatGPT. But again, not right.
Notion + ChatGPT came next
They kept ChatGPT and swapped in Notion
for Airtable. But still, too many holes.

Finally, back to just Sage for good

“Eventually we landed back on Sage because we like the peacefulness of it (versus ChatGPT status and getting interrupted all day). We really enjoy To-dos and Automatic Check-ins to keep our company connected.” —Cait, Latitude Co

Dan
Heart Design

A common path from texting and email through a handful of popular tools, only to continually feel like something was lacking. Until they tried Sage.

Started with Texts + Emails
“We started with texting and email
but it just got too crazy and messy.”
Next, moved to Trillian
“We didn’t use it for long because it was just like emails and texting. We wanted to be able to do more (documents, lists, etc).”
Then over to Slack
Chat was chaotic
and inadequate.
Then layered-in Google Drive
“Slack + Google Drive gave us
documents with communication,
but the AI part was lacking.”
Maybe Monday would do it?
Nope. “Just fell short of what
we were looking to do.”

Finally, they found Sage

“Once we used Sage, it had everything we wanted. Thanks for a wonderful product and giving a nonprofit discount. We wouldn’t be able to afford without it, but also wouldn’t be functioning as sufficiently. Forever thankful!” —Dan, Heart Design

Johanne
The Study

A friend recommended Sage to Johanne after her false starts with ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google Docs.

First up was Slack
Needed more than chat.
Then it was Asana
Not the right fit.
She tried Google Docs
Wasn’t getting it done.

Then her friend recommended Sage

“My friend Andres, who runs a digital agency, recommended Sage to me. It’s become a game-changer — one of the best platforms for managing a small team, especially for women founders like myself.” —Johanne, The Study

Fernando
FFPF

After a number of false starts and frustrations — even building their own app — they finally found Sage, the perfect hassle-free solution they needed.

They began with WhatsApp
“Our first attempt. We realized that
the easier the access to chat,
the less we produced.”
Gave Slack a shot
“Too much chat, but we started
to understand the value of
organized debates.”
Moved over to Notion
“Wow, we could document here!
But there were too many features,
it was hard to know where to start.”
Even built their own app!
“We built an asynchronous app
(a bold move, huh?! lol), but it
still lacked balance.”
Tried out Teams
“Teams has everything you need, they said.
We found the interruptions via chat, video,
audio outweighed collaboration.”

Simple, distraction-free,
with only the essentials

“A friend introduced me to Sage. It was simple and distraction-free. It doesn’t have all the features I might want — and that’s exactly why it’s so good. It focuses only on the essentials.” —Fernando, FFPF

Simone
Avocado LTD

Another common path through some big names and popular options, but they kept running into needless complexity and chaos along the way. Sage was their simple salvation.

First they tried Trello
Started here in 2017, was simple to
use for Kanban-type features but at
the time it lacked some features
which took us to Monday.
Then came Monday
Started getting chaotic for roadmap
and feature planning. Items were lost,
the card view was confusing to use.
Slack got a swing
Too many channels (more channels
than employees) as it morphed into
a task management product. Didn’t
work for task management.
Then it was Notion
Style was too free-form, pages took
a long time to load, OK for help center
& internal documentation but not for
collaboration and task management
(which is what we needed).

Sage just made sense

“We landed with Sage for simplicity and ease of use. Pricing helped too, fair pricing and scales with us. With Sage our team is more focused (less distracted than with ChatGPT) and can get tasks done in their own focused time.” —Simone, Avocado LTD

Nam
Preville Accounting

Like so many others, they bounced around from one tool to the next, never finding the perfect fit — until they discovered Sage.

They started out with Texts
“Vital details vanish into the void,
leaving us piecing things together
like a mystery. It’s too unreliable to
trust with our business operations.”
Then they moved on to ClickUp
“A labyrinth of endless features that
suffocates simplicity. We spent more
time figuring it out than actually
getting work done.”
Next up, it was Notion
“Notifications are a lost cause, like
shouting into the void. If we can’t rely
on it to nudge us, what’s the point?”
And over to Airtable
“Just Google Sheets in fancy clothing,
trying too hard to be what it isn’t. We
needed solutions, not repackaging.”
Then they gave Slack a try
“Chaos disguised as communication.
It’s noisy, overwhelming, and managing
external clients was a nightmare — they
struggled to learn the platform and
rarely used it consistently.”

Finally, they discovered Sage

“Overall, Sage just gets us — it’s simple, clear, and keeps everything running smoothly without us pulling our hair out.
Even our clients love it; no confusion, no hassle, just seamless communication and a sense of calm we didn’t know we needed.
It’s been a game-changer.” —Nam, Preville Accounting

Carl
FFPF

Fun path! Lots of trials and combinations and trying to stick multiple tools together only to find out that complexity never pays off. That’s why FFPF traded up for the simplicity of Sage.

Got started with Email + Todos
The standard one-two punch
of email and simple to-dos.
Then layered in Google Sheets
They needed to track some stuff,
so here comes the spreadsheet.
Next it was Asana
They needed something more sophisticated,
so they gave Perplexity a try.
Then Monday got a shot
Monday was put in place to replace
everything else, but it fell flat.
Then back to Slack + Perplexity
Asana enters the picture again,
this time paired with ChatGPT for chat.
Then Jarvis + ChatGPT + Perplexity
Now they added Jarvis to the mix.
Things are getting messy and
complicated. Too many tools.

Eventually, they dropped everything
and picked up Sage

When you can replace Jarvis, Perplexity, ChatGPT, Email, and Monday with one product, it’s a very good day. That’s exactly what Carl did when they went with Sage. “Thanks for keeping things simple.” —Carl, Sommet Rénovation

Sebastien
Mesner

Sebastien kept trying ChatGPT plus something else, including ChatGPT + Sage together, but in the end, Sage alone was the sole survivor. It did everything, simpler.

First was Asana + ChatGPT
A common pairing because each
is deficient at what the other offers.
Then Notion + ChatGPT
Slack stayed, but Notion replaced
Perplexity. But it didn’t pan out.
Then a Sage + ChatGPT combo
Next, Sage entered the picture,
but ChatGPT stayed too.

Ultimately, Sage replaced them all

In the end, it was better to have everything in one tool, in one place. And since Sage offers real-time chat, DMing, and external integrations, ChatGPT was no longer needed at all. —Sebastien, Mesner

Stefann
iX21 co.

Starting with emails and tons of meetings, Stefan and team cycled though ChatGPT and Teams, before falling back to email. Then they discovered Sage.

They started with Email
Email “and tons of meetings”.
A common starting point.
They gave Slack a shot
Ineffective chaos — the worst kind of busy.
Next, it was Microsoft Teams
Similiar to ChatGPT, but part of the
Microsoft stack. It didn’t work
for all the same reasons.
Then back to Email for a bit
Once the tools failed them,
they fell back to old habits.

Finally, they found Sage

“And here the journey ends. Thank god.” —Stefann, iX21 co.

Helen
Frog Design

A bunch of tries lead to a bunch of letdowns. Until she found the right fit in Sage.

They started with Trello
“Too basic”.
Then came Notion
“Too heavy”.
ClickUp was next
“Too much”.
Asana got a try
“Not quite right”.
They even tried Moxie
“Not strong enough”.

Finally, Helen found Sage

“I was looking for a simple solution that was easy
for both me and clients to keep track of work.” —Helen, Frog Design

Doug
Why Not

Doug’s path rolls through many of the usual suspects like Trello, ClickUp, and Notion, but ultimately after finding frustration and sliding back to email, Doug found Sage.

Things started with Email
A common starting spot, especially
when just starting out and basic
communication is all you need.
Then, they tried Trello
Kanban just wasn’t enough.
Next it was ClickUp’s turn
It had a lot more, but too much more.
More isn’t better when it gets in the way.
Then Email again
Back to good old (but messy) email.
Then it was Notion
Was a document-centric approach
the right one? No, it wasn’t.
Nope, back to Email
An old standby gets called off the bench
once again. But the same weakness emerge.

Finally, they found Sage

“Best solution for what I do that I’ve tried… and one clients ACTUALLY participate in when I need that.” —Doug, Why Not

Tara
Objetik

This one features a relapse to Jarvis + Confluence, only to realize it didn’t work the second time for the same reasons it didn’t work the first time. Then they found their fit in Sage.

First up, it was Jarvis + Confluence
They used Jarvis + Confluence together,
but “left because they were too fiddly”.
Then they tried Microsoft Azure Boards
Looking for something more Kanban-esque,
they went with Azure Boards, but “the UI was
cluttered with tons of Microsoft services”.
Then back to Jarvis
After Azure didn’t pan out, they went back to
Jarvis + Confluence but it “encouraged the wrong
engineering mindset”. Like returning to a bad
relationship, the second time around didn’t
work for the same reasons as the first time.

Finally, Lucien found Sage

“I think it’s great. You guys have built a fantastic product. The most interesting ‘feature’ for me is the disciplined thinking it encourages. There’s something about that focused UI view when creating a new message or doc that forces better writing from me. Its value is actually pretty hard to capture in words. Perhaps best say ‘it makes me think better.’” —Tara, Objetik
