Hidden Costs Breakdown

1

Automatic Plan Upgrades Without Notice

high addon

Users report being automatically upgraded to higher-tier plans without explicit consent or advance notification, resulting in significantly higher charges than expected.

They keep upgrading your plan without sending us an email or asking if we want to upgrade! I was fine with the plan that charged $15/month, but they automatically charge me every month the next model pricing and the next and the next and luckily i got it before my bill would get up to $250/month.

The billing system has to be the worst thing I've ever experienced with a company in my life. It makes zero sense, over charges constantly, adds on upgrades I didn't ask for and it's completely random.

Continued Billing After Cancellation

critical support

Multiple users report being charged after canceling their subscriptions, with some experiencing charges more than a month after disabling all services.

I canceled my membership, and they still charged me without warning. They charge you even after you cancel, and the email says, 'This is your last invoice.' But the worst part is that they continued charging me the following month.

I disabled all my subscriptions more than a month ago, yet they are still charging my card. My account (fb4062005) is clearly showing as inactive or cancelled, but the money keeps being taken from my account.

Confusing and Opaque Pricing Structure

medium addon

Users report difficulty understanding the pricing model, with uncertainty about whether charges are based on contacts, messages sent, or other metrics. The lack of transparent pricing documentation leads to unexpected bills.

The only thing stoping me from getting it is I can't quite figure out the pricing. I have over 100K. Do they charge per follower or just per DMs sent?

You are right it's just that their pricing scheme is a little bit confusing.

Example: True Cost for 25 Users

License (25 × $15 × 12) $4,500/yr
Automatic Plan Upgrades Without Notice +$150-$250/month unexpected charges
Continued Billing After Cancellation +$15-$150/month post-cancellation
Confusing and Opaque Pricing Structure +Variable - unpredictable monthly costs
Estimated Year 1 Total ~$7,650
That's roughly 1.7× the advertised license price.
