Pictory

The ol' bait and switch trick. "All future plan updates" means nothing! The "Premium Plan" is gone and I've no idea what plan my LTD is now mapped to. Customer support? Not existing, simply ignores the question. The much needed updates to this promising platform introduced better voice overs and other features that now required a monthly paid upgrade! Not best business practice. Really disappointned. Again.

WHY DOES APPSUMO NOT ENFORCE THEIR "ALL FUTURE PLAN UPDATES" CLAIM???

Here's the reply from Pictory.ai on that matter, a canned response:
"Thank you for reaching out! We understand your concern regarding the mapping of your AppSumo lifetime deal for the "Premium Plan" and the updates associated with it.

Currently, Pictory offers three plans: Starter, Professional, and Enterprise. Since the "Premium Plan" is no longer listed, your account should be mapped to the plan that aligns most closely with the features of the original "Premium Plan" you purchased. However, specific details about how your lifetime deal is mapped to the current plans or features would depend on the terms of your AppSumo deal and the updates provided by Pictory.

Regarding the new features like voice-over capabilities, these are included in the Professional Plan and Enterprise Plan. If you are being prompted to upgrade for these features, it may indicate that they are not part of the mapped plan for your lifetime deal.

To clarify your account's current mapping and access to features, we recommend reviewing the details of your AppSumo deal and comparing it with the features of the current plans."
