Pay attention
Please read carefully the different plans: some offer a 7 free trial, some will lead you to pay immediately the full amount. And to understand in which one you will be, you need to read very very carefully the page.
Response from OsumMay 9, 2024
Hi Gainet, thank you so much for your feedback - we have listened to what you and some other users have shared. We understand and appreciate that there was some cause for confusion here.
We have now overhauled the sign up experience so that the 7 day trial is the main action and the option to skip the trial and subscribe is explicitly visible as a secondary action.
What you experienced will no longer be a an issue for anyone ever again.
To show you our appreciation, we would like to offer you a complementary month of access to Osum. You are invited to reach out to us via the support chat on the website whenever you are ready!

I've tried numerous market research tools in the past, but none have come close to the level of detail and accuracy provided by this platform. The SWOT analysis alone has helped me identify key areas for growth and development in my business. Plus, the buyer personas have allowed me to tailor my marketing strategies more effectively. It's like having a secret weapon in my arsenal!

BEWARE of Osum
BEWARE. I signed up for the 7 day trial and my credit card was immediately billed.
All attempts to get in touch with Osum (email, Facebook chat) have been ignored.
Do not give your credit card details unless you want to be billed immediately.
Update - Osum only replied after I had posted this review online, despite what they state below. They did not reply to email nor FB within 5 days. They have refused my request for a refund, because I downloaded the "trial" data into a PDF.
Update2 - Adam from Osum asked me how they can make the website clearer, so that people don't get confused like I did. It looks like they have made some changes now so that it's clearer. Good to see.

UPDATE (2):
Hi Peter, thank you for your honest feedback. We've listened and made significant updates to our sign-up process. Now, the 7-day trial is prominently featured, and the option to skip the trial for immediate subscription is clearly outlined as a secondary option.
We're confident these changes will prevent any further confusion. As a token of our appreciation for your feedback and to make up for the inconvenience, we’re offering you a complimentary month of access to Osum. Please connect with us via the support chat on our website when you're ready to claim it. Thank you for helping us improve!

SUMMARY UPDATE (1): As per the pricing page on https://osum.com/pricing the 7 day trial is available exclusively for our monthly Pro and Expert plans. However, a 7 day trial is not available for the monthly Business plan or any annual plans. This user signed up for a Business plan where on the checkout it explicitly states they are to be billed immediately.
Despite that, in case of any mistakes, we offer a generous refund policy: Refunds can be requested within 7 days post-trial (in case a user forgot to cancel) or from the start of a subscription without a trial, provided usage does not exceed 3 reports viewed or any PDF exports.
This user used significant account resources (more than 3 reports or any PDF exports) therefore was no longer eligible for a refund. User also makes a contradictory claim: Supposedly we did not reply, when in fact the records show there was a reply, which he confirmed in his review - that he was not eligible for a refund.

Hi Peter,
Thank you for your feedback, and I’m sorry to hear about your frustration. I want to assure you that we take your concerns seriously.
Upon reviewing your issue, I can confirm that we responded to your queries within a few hours on the same day you reached out. In fact our typical response time is 30-60 minutes. We strive to provide timely and effective support, and our chat logs reflect our commitment to this.
Regarding the billing, we aim for transparency in our pricing and plan differences, as detailed on our detailed FAQ on https://osum.com/pricing#faq
As explained in our chat, the 'Try Now' option is available for our Pro and Expert Monthly plans, designed for a trial experience without immediate charges. Other plans, such as the Business Monthly and all Annual plans, are standard subscriptions without a trial, which is clearly indicated on our pricing page.
Furthermore, even if you started a subscription without a trial, we still offer fair refund options within the first 7 days for customers if they did not exceed the typical trial limits of 3 reports or any PDF exports. You exceeded these limits.
As you were offered in our chat, I’d be happy to extend this to you again. We can reactivate your access and add an extra month at no additional cost to you as a gesture of goodwill. Just let me know in our chat and will be happy to activate it for you immediately upon confirmation.
