80% of the generated thumbnails are irrelevant
I tested this tool and was really disappointed. I literally burned through my 50 credits in less than an hour, only to end up with fewer than 10 even remotely coherent thumbnails. Consistency is the real issue with Reflare, at least for my channel. I get that trying something different to attract viewers is a good idea. Still, when the result is a thumbnail that bears absolutely no relation to the video content—featuring poorly executed or bizarre elements typical of "AI slop"—you realise something is wrong, and the tool is fundamentally flawed. In any case, I cancelled my subscription as soon as I used up my 50 generations. Reflare didn't live up to the hype created by its developers. To me, it’s just a basic image generator, much like what most generative AI tools offer. The devs should've provided a free trial version before. EDIT: Taste isn't the point here. Once again, it's a matter of coherence. I deleted almost 40 totally irrelevant images. For instance, one video is about Dark Souls 2 awestones farming and the tool tried to recreate the stones' appearance. However, it provided 10 images with things that were never linked to it. I mean, the AI was providing countless nonsense mixes again and again, no matter the topic of the video. I deleted 80% of them, and those I kept are kind of correct, but none of the retained ones amazed me at any time, none. Once again, this tool should have a free version so as to check if it's worth it. It would prevent from having bad surprises. Of course, I'll check the metrics, and I do hope the thumbnails I kept will be efficient, especially after paying more than 50€ for just a few files...

Hi ! Thanks for the feedback I had a look at your account , while I personally didn’t find anything wrong with your thumbnails , taste is personal and I totally understand if they weren’t to your taste. Apologies, we’re working really hard to get better generations every day I’d also like to add you did not let any of the A/B tests go to completion, so we have no idea if the Reflare thumbnails would have performed better, like they do for our hundred of customers Would love for you to come back and try the product to completion if you’re up for it ! Edit : After tests ended on your account, 4 out of 5 tests were won by a Reflare thumbnail , with better click through rates, the last test was inconclusive with similar performance as the original
