Areas for Improvement

Poor Performance and Questionable Business Practices

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Limited selection of imagery with poor search capability and no ability to filter out the junk. The AI is useless - out of all the platforms weʻve tried (many) this gave us the worst results. Then, thereʻs the scammy "trial period" that auto-switches to the expensive annual paid plan without notice. Live and learn.

Cons

  • Limited selection of imagery with poor search capability.
  • No ability to filter.
  • The AI is useless.
  • Scammy "trial period" that auto-switches to the expensive annual paid plan without notice.

Return on Investment

  • it cost us money that would have been much better spent elsewhere
  • it cost us time to try to deal with the company by email and to write reviews
  • it annoyed us while testing and aggravated us when we learned we had been duped
