How is this different than Rent-A-Center, other than Rent-A-Center not charging customers when they change furniture?

No clear model for monitization (the front page even says "Kollate has you covered. For free.") which makes me wonder what they're getting out of me. Pros: Neat concept, sort of? Evernote, Keep, and Pocket certainly aren't without their flaws. Cons: It's Evernote, Keep, and Pocket rolled into one, but doesn't offer a mobile app and the browser extension doesn't appear to work.

I tried the free demo and then immediately bought it. I can't overstate the value of being able to point this app at a directory and get a visual preview of every video file in there, then move the source files into cold storage and keep the previews on hand. Like, really! That's huge!

I feel like I should be screaming "NO WHAMMIES!" when moving my mouse around on this site. Pros: 😟 😟 😟 Cons: user interface is literally unusable

You have to crawl through 14 pages of the advisory client agreement to find out that there's an insane 0.6% annual program fee, and you can only see this after you've spent ten minutes setting up your account. That fee is more than double any comparable app. Incredibly shady. Pros: Beautiful design, great idea Cons: Ridiculous hidden fees
