This service engages in fraudulent…

This service engages in fraudulent financial practices. Initially, they offer a specific pricing plan that promises "unlimited" access to their services.
However, immediately after receiving payment, they abruptly alter the terms of this "unlimited" access—rendering it impossible to work effectively within the "unlimited" tier. They disable simultaneous generation capabilities, claiming that "your usage is too active." Furthermore, they make the "unlimited" generation process unbearably slow. Meanwhile, their support team offers nothing but excuses, all of which ultimately boil down to a single objective: pressuring you to purchase additional generation credits.

Never purchase services from this website. Never provide them with your bank card details (they constantly attempt to charge you amounts far exceeding what is contractually owed).

Extremely disappointed with Magnific billing issue — attempted to charge me 3X–6X more than my actual plan

I’ve been a Premium Plus user for a while, and my current subscription is around 10,350 PKR/month (~37 USD). Everything was working completely fine back when it was still under Freepik.

But today I got a call from my bank saying that Magnific attempted TWO different charges on my card:

First attempt: around 66,000 PKR (~235 USD)
Second attempt: around 42,000 PKR (~150 USD)

Both transactions were declined because I didn’t have enough balance in my account.

Honestly, this is extremely concerning and disappointing. My actual monthly plan is nowhere near those amounts, so why is the system trying to charge me 3X–6X more than my subscription?

And the scary part is: if I had enough money in my account, those payments might have gone through without me even realizing it at first. I would have seriously regretted that.

I don’t know if this is a billing bug, payment system issue, or something else after the transition from Freepik to Magnific, but this really damaged my trust in the platform.

Has this happened to anyone else recently?

We moved to the annual plan this afternoon. In the evening, we suddenly got an email saying that the subscription had ended and we were locked out. They put us on the free plan, and we moved from the Pro monthly plan to the Pro annual plan, which is their highest paid plan.

Now that we are on the free plan, we do not have premium support, so we are stuck here at work, waiting for them to get back to us by email.

Unusable Platform — Cancelling Until Fixed

Ever since the company was acquired by Magnific, production has slowed down dramatically. Before, even when the unlimited limit was reached, up to 6 videos could run simultaneously in the queue. Now it constantly throws errors and arbitrarily limits you to 2 at a time. To make it worse, it occasionally displays messages saying Kling is overloaded and suggests using other tools which is absurd. They raised prices while degrading the service. The platform is in a terrible state right now, practically unusable. The site crashes throughout the day, slows to a crawl, and sometimes tabs become completely unresponsive. For these reasons I am cancelling my subscription and looking for alternatives.

I don't care about your bot response. Fix the system. What I used to finish in 1 hour now takes an entire day.

Avoid at any costs

This thing is becoming a legitimate scam. There is nothing 'magnific' about this platform. You pay the subscription but you don't know what you are buying, they are not transparent at all. When asking how many fast gens there are for Premium+, this is the answer that I got: Speed on Unlimited varies with demand and how much volume is going through your account. It still works, generations just take longer when usage is high. Credits are full speed any time and your plan includes them, that’s the fastest way to work when you need it consistent. DM us your email support if you want us to take a look.
I am pretty sure this is against the EU law, but I will have a proper look into this and will report then.

Lately, a slow gen for on image was about 10 minutes on average for NB2.

The support is almost non existent, with a reply 48-72 hours after you make the enquiry.

Since Freepik rebranded into Magnific

Since Freepik rebranded into Magnific, the platform has gone noticeably downhill. What used to feel like an accessible, creator-friendly service is now heavily monetized and restrictive.

The biggest issue is the shift to a credit-based system. Even on a €45/month plan, you’re not getting real “unlimited” access—you’re just buying into a pool of credits that disappear fast. Generating higher-quality images eats through them quickly, making the subscription feel misleading.

And the free tier? Practically useless. With only ~1K low-tier (“nano”) generations, it’s hard to create anything meaningful. What can you realistically do with that if you’re trying to work seriously?

Overall, it feels like a bait-and-switch: what was marketed as flexible and powerful is now locked behind aggressive credit limits. Not worth it anymore—there are better alternatives out there.

Thank you for sharing your feedback!
We're sorry to hear the experience hasn't met your expectations. The transition to Magnific brought significant upgrades in image quality and processing power, which is why a credit-based model became necessary — higher-quality outputs require substantially more computational resources than before.
That said, we genuinely hear your frustration around value perception. Our team is continuously working to improve credit efficiency and plan transparency so users always know what to expect. If you feel your current plan isn't the right fit, we'd love to help you find one that works better for your workflow — please don't hesitate to reach out to our support team directly.

Very disappointing experience. Customer support was slow, unhelpful, and repeatedly failed to resolve a clear issue. They refused to provide a fair refund and kept giving the same responses without addressing the problem. After multiple follow-ups, they simply stopped responding altogether.

Charged Twice After Upgrading Plan

I upgraded from the Essential plan to the Premium plan, but instead of only charging me for the upgrade, I was charged for both plans. I tried contacting customer support, but it doesn’t seem like there’s any human support available. The AI chatbot created a support case, but I still haven’t received any response or refund.

Please don’t ask me to email support, as I’ve already done that. Overall, this has been a very unpleasant customer support experience.

Freepik (now Magnific) is A Study in Corporate Discourtesy

Freepik launched with enough promise to earn loyalty. It didn't keep it. My annual subscription was set to expire on 29 April 2026. It was terminated on 28 April, one day early, with over 500,000 credits still in my account. This is not a rounding error. This is a billing discrepancy, and one I raised directly with their support team, to no reply.

In the hours I spent trying to exhaust those remaining credits, I noticed that Google Veo 3 and Seedance 2.0 were both generating errors for quite a few hours of the day. Whether by coincidence or design, the platform's most capable tools became inaccessible precisely when I needed them most.

I agree, I should have used my credits steadily across the year. But I held off because the features, frankly, weren't there yet. Even today, character consistency on native Gemini 3.1 Flash Image outperforms what Freepik delivers after considerable effort. I waited, the platform improved, they added genuinely useful features and a training academy, and then my subscription ended (a day early) before I could meaningfully use any of it.

I was a subscriber before their latest investment round. Every time their feedback prompt appeared, I responded honestly. That kind of customer deserves, at minimum, a reply to a complaint email. Freepik sent none.

What makes all this worse is that unlimited features of their Premium+ tier have been rolled back, functionality capped, AND Premium+ pricing increased. The pattern is familiar. The answer is straightforward: find an alternative and do so before they find another creative way to shorten your billing cycle.

Update: As noted, this is about ending the contract early, not about the carry over of any credits.

I can't use my subscription. I've validated my subscription with a personalized email, and reached the main menu. When I've disconnected my browser and came back, it asked me to sign in again. Since I've not been prompt to create a password, I've asked a reset password. I'm not getting the link and therefore can't setup my password.

Hidden charges and terrible supportd extra credits

Freepik added extra credits to my account and charged me without any prior notification or clear consent. I used them thinking they were part of my monthly plan, as the UI is intentionally confusing.
