Suddenly I was charged $159. I never intended to subscribe for a year, and they have no way to cancel it. I feel totally ripped off.
If they were legit they would refund money in such situations, not smugly sit there with my money sneering at me. I'm 73 and this money I need for food, etc.
I recommend staying clear of this BS scam site.
After the trial subscription, they charge me 80$. I accepted, and they told me there wouldn't be any additional charges. But in january the charged me other 80$ dollars, saying it was the second payment for my whole year, when in a previous message, they told me they cancelled the subscription. Shitty page. It's definitely not worth it. I'm already seeing if taking legal actions

I'd give it a zero if I could. I can publish on Zenodo, I don't need Academia. I wanted to submit an article for one of their magazines. I went through the workflow making the submission. There was one section where I could choose a radio button to indicate I wouldn't pay for the publication but when I finished the page after I submitted said I'd be charged $2000 if publication was approved. Fraudulent practices.
As the ensh*tification of everything to do with academia continues, academia.edu takes it to new levels. A once useful resource is now a zombie pirate site. My annual subscription renewed today and they took £216 instead of the agreed £108. When I queried it they refused to engage - just said that was now my subscription price. Luckily I paid by paypal who agreed to refund the money. Just hoping something else emerges that does what academia.edu used to do.
Great website to make articles accessible but incredibly scummy practices when it comes to premium subscription. On top of the insane subscription price, unsubsrcribing is made hard to do and displayed in such a way to trick you into thinking you unsubscribed only to get a 200$ bill months later that customer service refuses to refund. It's so bad that it made me create a trustpilot account just to slander these practices.
This year, Academia.edu charged me €252.54, which is double what I paid last year (= €126.27) and I do not know why. Since Academia.edu isn't listening to our complaints, I'm making an appeal: Let's find an alternative platform (which I don't know of) and move there en masse. Paolo Rocchi
Cancellation is challenging. I thought I had cancelled soon after purchasing last year to access a couple of items, but there was an autorenewal increasing the cost from approximately USD 160 to USD 272 on December 22nd. While I had not intended to renew at all, I was even more appalled by the fact that there was a massive price hike without justification of new features and informing customers and giving them an opportunity to cancel as a result. I see from other reviewers that I am not alone in being appalled at this unethical practice.
I went to check my bank account after Christmas to discover that this organisation had made an unauthorised withdrawal from my account of £333.60. I never had a paid service - their premium service, and I definitely did not authorise this transaction. To make things worse when I went onto the website I had not even been granted access to the supposed Premium services.I challenged the unauthorised withdrawal within 2 days of it being made and received an unhelpful response stating that the organisation did not refund subscriptions (even though I had never had a subscription). I then applied further pressure and can confirm that a full refund was provided. While I am relieved to have had the refund the situation should never have arisen in the first place.I would caution you not to have anything to do with this business as my experience is completely unfavourable.
