I feel like I've been conned.
I feel like I've been conned and wasted hours of my life that I won't get back using Blaze Ai...
Before I spent 2 days populating my account with graphics and branded material, I was offered a price of $33/month. After the trial, and once I decided i was going to sign up, I proceeded to the subscription page only to see that the rate had more than doubled. I had to double-check that I didn't imagine the initial rate and proceeded to log out and access the pricing page, which confirmed that the rate (for the cheapest package) was indeed $33. So, why, after the week's trial, does it increase to $79 with absolutely no explanation of why? I contacted customer services and provided them with a screenshot of the price list, asking why I wasn't being shown those prices while logged into my now populated account. After hours of waiting in the chat room, their response was as follows: "Sorry for the late response. I checked the subscription for the email you sent and noticed that it's actually under Autopilot trial.
The $33/month offer is actually for the annual price for one of our Copilot plan.
At the moment, Autopilot is only available to invited users, so its pricing hasn’t been released publicly yet. Once the product is fully launched, we’ll share detailed pricing information." I still don't understand why "invited" users are offered the more expensive rate. I'm confused about why I can't simply opt for the cheapest co-pilot package. I would never have responded to their invitation if I had known it meant they planned to charge me over double their usual rate - they were not honest about this. I don't need all the features of the top-tier package and can't see any difference between the basic and what I used during the trial period; hence, I wanted to opt for the basic package, as I did some years ago. As a former user, I feel this is a significant setback. This experience has thoroughly put me off the idea of using Blaze AI. Instead, I have asked Gemini Ai to offer some suggestions on competitor software. I didn't realise there were so many options out there that were way more affordable. I refuse to be conned by Blaze AI again. I strongly recommend that you avoid the mistake I made by wasting your time populating the system only to find that the price has doubled for no reason. For almost $100 a month, I expect transparency and prompt customer service. Judging by the rep's slow and convoluted response, I don't even think he knew why I was being offered such extortionate rates.
