The AI is unable to generate videos that match your script accurately. 90% of the time it was showing me random video clips that have nothing to do with the script.
Plus, they have no option to explore the pro-features for 7 days, and upgrade amount is NON REFUNDABLE.
That, and quite a few features are still in development. Seems like a textbook case of a startup shipping an MVP but charging full price for it.

Thank you for your feedback, and we sincerely apologize for the experience you've had. As a small team of 3 engineers managing over 1 million users, we’ve been working hard to make continuous improvements based on feedback like yours.
Since your last visit, we’ve significantly improved our video matching algorithm to ensure that the AI-generated videos align more closely with your script. Additionally, we’ve focused on enhancing the stability of the app to offer a smoother and more reliable experience.
We also want to assure you that we have a fair refund policy in place. If you had any issues with your upgrade, we’d be happy to discuss it further to make things right.

Never Recommend Their Services
Their subscription fees are non refundable even don't use their services, even in an hour cancellation. You can cancel anytime but they charged you and don't refund any payment they charged. They have very bad customer services which is not good for any startup companies among this competitive market. They should have a customer satisfactory oriented mindset but they have a very old-school mindset.

We deeply apologize on our end for the issues you faced. We’re a small team of three engineers who scaled VideoGen to over 1 million users, and due to overwhelming demand, we've been behind in addressing support requests.
We're very lenient with refunds and are more than happy to refund your subscription. Please send us your account details so we can process the refund right away.

Overpriced and Unfriendly Customer Service
They don't cancel your subscription fee on the same day you charged. As I forget to cancel my monthly subscription, they charged me. After I realised, I sent them a cancellation email kindly. Most of companies, especially startups cancel the invoice even you benefitted their service. Even I didn't use their services and asked for the cancellation, they didn't accept. Also their video gen website is not useful. It is very easy website and overpriced.

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused and for the delay in our response. We’re a small team of three engineers who scaled to over 1 million users out of our college dorm rooms, so we may have missed your earlier message due to overwhelming demand.
Since you last used VideoGen, we've made significant improvements, including enhanced video matching to help users find the right footage faster, project saving, and AI-generated cartoons. We’re constantly working to make the platform more intuitive and valuable to our users.
I want to assure you that we are now prioritizing refund requests and streamlining the cancellation process to avoid such complexities moving forward.

Avoid this platform at all cost
We were trying different platforms to see what is best feasible for our business. Then we discovered this platform and thought it was a good idea to subscribe to test it. Since they do not have a trial period, we paid for the yearly since its cheaper. then after going into more details, we found that this platform is not as good or effective as we thought. Very bad AI, definetely not smart, artwork is repetitive for most videos and not related to the created content and it is so hard sometimes to find a good photo or video for the content we had. AND everytime you close the video and comeback to the same one to finish editing, you have to regenerate it (its not saved) so they will deduct credits from your account again and again. Which wasted a lot of our time and didn't give us the quality we need. ON TOP OF ALL, when we requested to cancel, only after 3 days, the company was very strict that we wont get any refund, even though we are not going to use the platform and we already did cancel. Thats a very bad way to do business, so stay away from this platform. REPLY TO PROVIDER COMMENT: We have reached out many times regarding the refund since we paid for a year and we are not using the platform at all but you weren't supportive or understanding at all. You actually asked us to understand that you are a small team which is not our place to do. we are also a business and paying money for something we won't be using just because you don't have a trial period so we can test is not acceptable and any reputable company would have understand this situation.. We actually fought through emails and your replies were even more frustrating which caused us to add negative reviews about the experience. So good luck I hope you are now treating your customers much better and not just seeking money out of them!

We sincerely apologize for the experience you’ve had and for the delay in our response. As a small team of three engineers, we’ve scaled to over 1 million users in a short period, and we acknowledge that we fell behind on customer support due to overwhelming demand. We deeply regret that this impacted your experience.
Since then, we've made significant improvements, including a project-saving feature that ensures your work is always available without using additional credits, so you won’t need to regenerate videos when returning to edit. We’ve also enhanced our video selection algorithm, making it easier to find high-quality, relevant visuals for your content.
Regarding your refund request, we understand your frustration. We're now on top of our refund processes and have adjusted our policies to be more aligned with our customers' needs. Please reach out directly, and we’ll do everything we can to assist you.

Avoid
I first purchased the $5 package and then upgraded to the Pro package, hoping to create videos longer than 3.5 minutes. However, I was disappointed to find out that I needed to purchase the $99 package to create longer videos. It was unclear that the 5000 characters of the script only equated to 3.5 minutes of video. To make things worse, the company has a strict no-refund policy, which feels unfair. They seem more focused on taking your money than providing quality service. I would highly recommend avoiding this service at all costs.

We’re sorry to hear about your experience, and we appreciate your feedback. When you initially subscribed, we were still in college and couldn’t dedicate 100% of our time to VideoGen. However, as of May, we’ve gone all in and made significant improvements, including bumping the Pro package video limit to 10 minutes. We also strive to be gracious with refunds, and we’d be happy to take a closer look at your case. Please reach out to our support team, and we’ll do our best to resolve this fairly.
