Broken Promises
When VaultCord was announced, mak described it as a full-featured version of RestoreCord, which he founded in 2020 and sold in 2022. He promised to take member security seriously, avoid “amateur mistakes,” and not associate with “scummy activities (selling real members, for example)” (https://archive.is/lUpys). VaultCord now runs a full marketplace at https://vaultcord.com/market.
In an announcement on August 17, 2023, he said prices would likely be €19.99 and €39.99 per year, with a 40% launch discount (https://archive.is/lUpys). A little over two years later, prices are $27.99 and $45.99 per year, or $47.88 and $107.88 per year when paid monthly.
On March 9, 2024, he announced that VaultCord would “ASAP” pay a professional developer to improve the dashboard, calling it the most common request from users (https://archive.is/0Ksge). Users still complain about it, with one saying their dashboard looks bad (https://archive.ph/1LQWe). Mak later brushed this off by saying new UI frameworks “come out all the time” (https://archive.ph/IHdFo).
VaultCord also advertised “letting members unlink/unauthorize with ease,” but removed that ability a few months later. Mak said he was “going to remove unlink button” (https://archive.ph/ExPXj), and a changelog later listed the removal as a way of “driving higher member conversions” (https://archive.ph/Q3L5D).
