Just got an email from Google advising my Nest Aware renewal price will be increasing from $120/yr to $150/yr - a 25% YoY increase with no improvements in features or services and no explanation for such an outrageous increase.
This is complete B.S.. My income sure the Hell didn’t go up anywhere close to 25% last year, and if all my expenses went up by 25%, I’d be out of business.
Beyond this ridiculous increase, Google has also announced that they will soon discontinue support for the Nest app in favor of the Google Home app. WTF - The Nest app is much easier to use/navigate and a far superior app. Way to screw this up as well!
Also, several of their cameras (i.e. Nest Floodlight) come in a whopping 1 color choice. Get your spray paint ready if you don’t want this to stick out like a sore thumb against your dark color trim. Check out the Wyze or Ring floodlights for less money and more features.
it seems like every other week Google /Nest is doing something stupid to push customers away. In my case, it’s working.
Thanks Google for screwing up the Nest products we all loved for so many years.
