Hidden Costs Breakdown

Overage charges without authorization

critical overage

Users report being charged hundreds of dollars for credit overages without explicit consent or warning when exceeding their plan's credit limit. The system does not prevent usage or warn users before incurring overage fees.

trustpilot
Somehow magically they decided to charge me 550 USD for using 44,000 credits. Whilst my monthly subscription is only 25 USD per month. And I never permitted overcharge for additional credits.

trustpilot
I started using it, and within 10 minutes, it tells me that I've already used another 5,000 credits and that I needed to upgrade again. So no warning at all.

Rapid Credit Depletion

critical overage

Credits are consumed far faster than advertised or expected. Users report burning through 500 trial credits in minutes, 5,000 Pro credits in 10 minutes during setup, and simple daily tasks consuming 3-4x the estimated credits. The credit usage is opaque with no warnings before depletion.

trustpilot
They say they give you 500 credits as a free trial. I started using it, and within a few minutes, it said that I had used my 500 credits.

trustpilot
I signed up for the free trial (which gives you 5,000 credits) to try it out. I set up 2 email summaries per day to let me know what's going on and call out any high priority emails. I set up my calendar and scheduled a "Your day today..." message each morning. And I gave my morning and evening skincare regimen to her and asked for a text morning and evening for the respective routines. All she had to do was repeat the regimen back to me. By this time in the trial week, we'd burned through roughly 4,000 credits just setting up 4 tasks.

Unable to cancel subscription

critical support

Multiple users report being unable to cancel subscriptions or delete accounts. The account deletion feature fails to work (loading forever), and users continue being charged after cancellation requests. Some users are locked into 12-month contracts with no ability to exit.

trustpilot
I cancelled my subscription, but they continue to take payments from my account. They refuse to delete my account

trustpilot
You can't delete your account (it just keeps loading forever). They're trying to rip you off

Support requires paid credits

high support

There is no direct customer support channel. Users must use the AI agent to get support, which consumes paid credits. Support emails go unanswered, forcing users to spend credits for help.

trustpilot
The worst part is that there is nowhere to contact support. Nowhere. So if you have an issue, you have to use more credits and get answers from their AI agent.

Post-cancellation billing

critical compliance

Users report being charged after account deletion or trial cancellation, including full-year charges when canceling during trial period and ongoing monthly charges after deleting accounts.

trustpilot
After deleting my account, I was still charged $34.99

trustpilot
Got billed for a full year after I had cancelled my account inside the free trial period.

Reputation Damage from AI Agent Errors

critical implementation

For custom AI agent service (highest tier), the AI repeatedly contacts the same leads multiple times even after opt-outs, causing client loss and reputation damage in local markets.

trustpilot
The AI agent repeatedly emailed the same leads 2–3 times—even after they had opted out or clearly stated they weren't interested. This wasn't just a minor glitch. It cost me 5 clients and damaged my reputation in my tight-knit community.
