Fias al Rawahi

I was pumped to try Submagic. The free trial lasted about as long as it takes to make a cup of coffee, because they put the features I wanted to test behind a pay wall. So I hit “buy” and oops, clicked the wrong annual plan. No biggie, right? I paid for the correct monthly plan a minute later and asked support to swap the first charge or just refund it. Here’s what happened next: Friendly “We’ll forward this to accounts!” email. Cool. Radio silence. Follow-up: “We don’t do refunds. Ever. You already used the trial.” (Total trial time for me: maybe 20 minutes.) Link to a refund policy hidden in the fine print I never agreed to on sign-up. So in under 24 hours I owned two plans I didn’t want, zero flexibility, and a canned apology. Submagic may sell “magic,” but their customer-care playbook is pure vanishing act. Pros? The rep used nice emojis. Cons? Everything else: no clear refund notice at checkout, no grace period, no real conversation about fixing a brand-new customer’s mistake nor refunding and hiding refund policy that says: "Please, keep in mind that you accepted this policy in the GCU (General Conditions of Use) section when you created your account🙏" but trust me you'll not find it whicle creating your account. If you’re thinking of subscribing, double-check the plan and kiss that money goodbye if you mis-click. My advice: spend your cash with a company that remembers software is service, not a trapdoor or a digital product that I get to keep to warrant a no refund policy. Lesson learned: read every policy (even the invisible ones that I didn't agree on somehow) and support businesses that treat first-timers like future fans, not sunk costs.
