Billed after I thought I cancelled
Billed after I thought I cancelled
PriceI hesitated before signing up — worried about recurring charges and support. I use the app daily for work file sync, and it does that well. Still, I was billed after cancelling and getting help is a maze.
Quick delivery, billing hiccup
Quick delivery, billing hiccup
PriceWas halfway through a couple videos when I realized they'd charged me for a year instead of the monthly plan — irritating, but the content arrived immediately and customer service actually helped sort most of it fast. I opened a PayPal dispute for the extra months, but overall their support and delivery were solid; check the billing.
Unexpected annual charge
Unexpected annual charge
PriceThey charged me for a year when I thought I signed up for a month. That’s the bottom line. Pricing page showed $16.50/month. I only needed it a month, so I signed up and then cancelled the same day. Instead of a monthly charge I was billed $198 for an annual plan. Checkout didn’t make that clear. Support refused a refund because I had downloaded files, even though their promo says 'unlimited downloads.' That felt like bait-and-switch. I’ve had cleaner billing at other sites, so I was suspicious from the start. Plus the downloads worked right away, so I did get what I paid for, even if the rest was frustrating.
Video editing and graphic design materials
Video editing and graphic design materials
PriceI find it really convenient to have access to samples and templates for editing videos and creating artwork. It's a great value for the money. I wish there were more songs with vocals, especially for car videos and weddings.
Software purchase
Software purchase
PriceI recently bought some software on Envato and I was really happy with the whole experience. There were so many different options to choose from, which made it easy for me to find exactly what I was looking for. The price was really good too, but what really impressed me were the licensing agreements that gave me peace of mind about the legal stuff.
Variety of resources for generalist freelancers
Variety of resources for generalist freelancers
PriceAs a freelancer, I love all the different resources I can find on this platform. They've got everything from audio and video to graphics and web templates, perfect for whatever project I'm working on. I also really like the subscription model because it lets me access as many resources as I want without any pesky limits. And the user interface is super smooth and easy to use, much better than other sites like iStock and Adobe. It definitely makes my life a lot easier!
Royalty-free content for music video
Royalty-free content for music video
PriceI just bought some royalty-free content from Envato for my music video, and let me tell you, I was really impressed with what they had to offer. They had a ton of choices to pick from, so it was easy for me to find exactly what I was looking for. And the prices were super fair, especially when you compare them to other sites out there. I was able to get everything I needed without spending a fortune.
Video editing package
Video editing package
PriceI'm really happy with the video editing package I bought. It was a great bonus to get video snippets, fonts, and royalty-free music included with the upgrade. I've been using a different platform for a long time, but they only give you pictures and graphics and make you pay more for video clips. The value I got from this purchase was definitely worth it.
