Deceptive pricing

Price

This company really tricks people with their sneaky pricing tricks. I thought I was snagging a good deal at $399, but then I saw after downloading their app that the actual price was $299. When I asked for a refund of the $100 difference, they said no and I was not impressed. On top of that, their cancellation link was hard to find, buried deep in several pages at the bottom of the page. It was a headache trying to opt out of their services. All in all, dealing with this company was a letdown and I would advise others to watch out for their pricing tricks.

Online subscription purchase

Price

I just signed up for this online service and got hit with a $400 charge on my credit card. I thought it was a monthly fee, but turns out it was a one-time payment. I feel so misled and ripped off. Next time, I'll check reviews before jumping in. Stay on your toes and do your homework before committing to this service.

Tech Journalism Subscription

Price

The content from this tech journalism subscription is top-notch. It's exclusive and better than other tech news sites. But, the cost is a bit high, especially for the average person. Unless you're really into tech or investing in it, it might not be worth it. I got a discount when I signed up, which helped a bit, but still, the price can be a lot for most folks.

I had an issue when they switched to a pro and non-pro subscription model. The pro one had more stuff like org charts and databases but cost a lot more. I thought I'd get everything for the discounted rate, but they cut me off from the pro stuff. It was disappointing and not cool.

If you're thinking about signing up, use a pre-paid or virtual credit card. And remember to cancel before the renewal date to avoid any surprises. Just looking out for you!
