I’m sharing this to warn others and raise awareness — AdCreative.ai, the so-called “AI ad generator,” charged me over $1000 in one month after I had already canceled my trial.

What happened: • Signed up for their free trial — seemed legit at first. • Canceled the subscription properly before the trial ended. • Then, I got hit with 3 unauthorized charges totaling over $1000 in a single month. • Even worse — I got a text from Amex asking if I authorized the charge. I pressed “N” to deny it. They still forced the charge through. • They reopened the subscription without my consent. • You cannot remove your card once it’s added to the platform. • No support. No refund. No accountability.

After digging deeper: • I found tons of other victims reporting the same issue • Their reviews on Trustpilot and G2 are clearly manipulated • Their Instagram is full of fake followers • Their billing practices are predatory and possibly illegal

If you’re experiencing the same thing:

Report them here (French gov site — they’re based in Paris): https://signal.conso.gouv.fr/en/achat-site/faire-un-signalement

Also: • Dispute the charges with your credit card provider • Contact your national consumer protection agency • Warn others online — Reddit, LinkedIn, Trustpilot, Twitter, anywhere

I see many utilizing Lifetime Deals with AppSumo, etc. for their AI products. Questions I have:

1. Since AI wrapper products require paying for tokens to access LLMs, is it worth providing a Lifetime Deal given the ongoing token costs?

2. AI SaaS products need good server infrastructure. Is launching a Lifetime Deal viable when you'll have recurring costs for hosting/scaling?

3. What if the AI tool becomes unprofitable long-term? Founders could be stuck honoring Lifetime Deals indefinitely even if losing money.

4. For those offering Lifetime Deals on AI tools, what pricing/monetization strategies have worked to ensure profitability?

Hey everyone, I was just curious if any of you have ever used or heard of AdCreative.ai for your social media marketing campaigns? I recently stumbled upon it. They claim to have up to 14x higher conversion rates compared to creatives that are not data-backed, and over 95% of their users improve their click-through rates in the first month using their platform.
