I’m a student and only needed this tool for one month

I never write reviews, but this situation really upset me.
I’m a student and only needed this service for one month.
Due to my limited English, I accidentally purchased the yearly subscription instead of the monthly plan.

I contacted support immediately to explain the situation and asked for a refund of the difference, but they refused – even though I explained everything clearly.

As a student from a European country, this charge financially affected me a lot.
Their response was disappointing and showed no flexibility.

The tool itself is average at best, and this whole experience left a bad impression.
Not the way paying users should be treated when it’s an obvious and honest mistake.

Unethical Practices and Misleading Payment System – Definitely Not Recommended!

I decided to try the Smodin service because it initially appeared to be a reliable platform offering a free trial period. Unfortunately, it turned out to be a completely misleading and untrustworthy service that unethically takes money from customers.

After registering, the system directed me to a payment platform. I believed that this was merely the beginning of a free trial period, with the option to cancel before any payment was charged. To my shock, however, my account was immediately debited for an entire year’s subscription – despite the website misleadingly displaying it as a monthly payment.

At first, my money was refunded, but the very next day, Smodin withdrew it again, which makes absolutely no sense to me. This process is completely non-transparent and feels like a scam.

To make matters worse, the service itself is of extremely poor quality. The text it generates is comparable to something written by an eight-year-old child – completely unusable. I expected at least a basic level of quality, but what Smodin offers is a total disaster.

When I reached out to customer support to resolve my issue, I was informed that their terms do not allow any complaints, refunds, or contract cancellations. I am unsure whether this practice is even legal, especially for customers in the EU.

In addition when I provided examples of other users who had similar experiences and received refunds, their support team simply stopped responding.

Overall, I find Smodin to be an extremely untrustworthy company whose practices border on fraudulent. Their product is of very poor quality, and their payment system is deceptive. If you don’t want to waste your money and time, avoid this service at all costs. I do not recommend it to anyone!

Hi Jana,


Thank you for sharing your feedback and we’re truly sorry to hear about your experience.

We would like to clarify a few points regarding your situation. After carefully reviewing our records, we found that your account was not enrolled under a free trial. Instead, it was registered directly under a promotional yearly subscription which was clearly indicated at the time of purchase.

Regarding the initial charge, please note that for trial activations, our system temporarily places a hold on funds to verify the account’s validity but no funds are collected unless the customer proceeds with a subscription. In your case, since the subscription was initiated directly as a yearly plan, the charge was processed accordingly.

That said, we understand that this might have been confusing and certainly not the experience we aim to provide. As a gesture of goodwill and to ensure transparency, we are proactively downgrading your account to a monthly subscription and will refund the difference in cost.

We also take your comments on product quality seriously. Smodin is continuously improving and we appreciate honest feedback like yours that helps us refine our service.

If you have any further concerns or need assistance with your account, we encourage you to reach out to our support team directly and we will be more than happy to assist.

Thank you for giving us the opportunity to address this.


Sincerely,
The Smodin Team

It's a complete scam

It's a complete scam, don't make my mistake. After a 24h trial (not specified that it only lasted one day) they deducted $29 from me, the real problem is that none of their tools really work, but even though I showed them that it didn't work they don't want to issue any refunds, for me it's a 100% scam.
My text had an AI detection of 44%, after using their tool to avoid the AI ​​detection the result was 55%.
After contacting support they told me to try to have it further processed by the tool, this time I got 60% AI detection. After that they asked me to make another attempt using their translator and this resulted in 66% AI detection, in short an absolute disaster.
But given the fraudulence of the sales and support process I don't think it's just a lousy tool but a full-blown scam.

Hi Edoardo,


We’re sorry to hear that your experience with Smodin did not meet your expectations. We take customer satisfaction seriously and we regret that you were frustrated with both our tool and support process.

Our 24 hour trial is stated during sign up but we understand how this could have been overlooked. Regarding the AI detection results, while our tool is designed to help reduce AI detection, it is not always guaranteed to work in every scenario as detection methods vary across different platforms. However, we appreciate your feedback and will use it to continue improving our service.

That being said, we want to make things right. We will be processing a refund and you should see the amount reflected in your account soon.

We truly appreciate your feedback and the opportunity to improve. If you have any further questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us at support@smodin.io

I have been Scammed out of my money!!

I have been scammed out of my money. I wanted to try Smodin for a month because it was clearly stated that the first month is free and that the subscription can be canceled at any time. However, what you did directly contradicts your own terms.

You charged me after I canceled my subscription, which, as it turns out, could not actually be canceled, despite your claims. This is a clear violation of your own policies.

I have all the necessary evidence, and this issue will be made public and reported to the authorities.

Hi Mist,


Thank you for your continued feedback. We understand your frustration and truly regret that this experience has been upsetting.

To clarify once again, our free trial period is one day as stated during the sign-up process. After this trial ends, the subscription automatically converts to a paid plan unless canceled within that time. It appears there was a misunderstanding regarding the trial length, which led to the charge.

We also want to emphasize that after your initial concerns, we took immediate action by removing your payment details from our system to ensure no further charges could occur.

We understand that this situation has been frustrating for you and while we’ve addressed this matter in previous responses, we genuinely appreciate your feedback and will continue to review how we present trial information to avoid any future confusion.

If you have any further questions or if there’s anything more we can assist you with, please feel free to reach out to us directly at support@smodin.io

TALK ABOUT SCAMMING PEOPLE WITHOUT FULL DISCLOSURE

So i needed some help with my paper and i thought well why not have some help with grammar and streamlining my writing hence me falling for this app. The price at the time of purchase was not what i was billed for while i was hoping to just try a month they billed me for a year with no prior disclosure. I mean where’s the transparency and consumer trust. Please be careful and i would highly recommend steering clear of this service as the customer service team is no help at all.

Makes gift thank-yous memorable

I received gifts, and Smodin helped me write heartfelt thank-you notes. The receivers felt genuinely valued because the AI made sure my remarks were sincere and precise. It has transformed thankfulness into an art form. Smodin gives each statement a touch of warmth.

Stay away from smodin

This platform is not honest with their customers. Please be careful. I paid for a 79dkk bill, that apparently turned out to be 950dkk instead.
In no way was it shown that, the bill would be that expensive.
And upon contacting customer service, no help was provided, and they refused to give me a refund. This is unacceptable.
So, be careful what you pay for, since they are in no way transparent with their customers on the amount that they’re charging them.

Hi Anonym,


Thank you for sharing your concerns. We sincerely regret any confusion regarding our pricing display and understand your frustration.

At Smodin, we currently display the monthly price for our plans and we acknowledge that the full yearly charge is not prominently shown at checkout. We understand that this may have led to an unexpected charge and we truly appreciate your feedback as we work to improve our pricing transparency.

To resolve this matter, we will downgrade your subscription to a monthly plan and refund the difference. Our team is already processing this adjustment and you should see the refund reflected in your account soon.

We truly value our customers and are committed to providing a positive experience. If you have any further concerns, please feel free to reach out to our support team at support@smodin.io and we’ll be happy to assist you.

Recreator not good

I have been using the Smodin paraphraser for years. I was very happy. The text was changed perfectly and the plagiarism report was extremely low.That according the Turnitin, the only 100% reliable plagiarism tool, at least for academics (students, teachers, researchers).
The past year, things are changed. The rewrite tool is useless 95% (only 10 in 500 words are chaged). The recreator tool (the one i was satisfied with) it turned half useless, too. It changes only few words (some of them may have been shown as changed but are still the same). The recreated text now cant go through Turnitin because the plagiarism is high. The plagiarism detection tool is not to be trusted too, because it says 8% but in reality it is 38 to 48% according to Turnitin. So, you have to do most of the work yourself, even though you pay money for the job (i personally pay circa 35 dollars monthly). And there is the fear to be caught plagiarized from your university, your firm or wherever you sent your text and they use Turnitin or another reliable plagiarism tool. They need to fix it promptly.
Other tools like Rephrasely or Editpad that i checked (by paying) are the same, not good for the work. Does anyone know any reliable tool?
