TL;DR: Poor quality, glitchy software, and an overall bad experience.

I took advantage of the deal today in @AppSumo , but honestly, the experience was disappointing. For starters, the fact that the service doesn't even use its own product to showcase itself says a lot. I asked if the blonde lady featured in their materials was one of their avatars, and they confirmed she wasn’t—she’s just a friend of theirs.

On their website, there’s a banner below the video with the lady that says: "Trusted by the world’s best companies" and features logos like AppSumo, NVIDIA, Amazon, DMZ, and StackSocial. Come on, really? With this level of quality? Why would Amazon or NVIDIA use this product when they have their own far superior solutions? It just doesn’t add up.

Since I could refund and had some credits, I decided to give it a try anyway. Unfortunately, I hit issues right away. I tried uploading a video for dubbing, only to find out the maximum file size allowed is 30 MB (seriously?). I then tried with a 5 MB video (twice), and although the platform claimed it was uploaded, it was nowhere to be found.

Next, I tested one of their avatars. The default voice sounded like something from a 90’s TTS program—not what you'd expect today. While you can switch to Azure voices, which many similar tools use because they’re great, it doesn’t make up for the overall lack of quality.

The whole experience was glitchy, poorly executed, and not worth the investment. And how does this deal have 5 stars on AppSumo? At the very least, it’s suspicious. I’ve already requested a refund and wouldn’t recommend this deal to anyone.
