I signed up for Topview’s Pro plan (29 USD/month for 80 credits) expecting a reliable AI video creation tool, and instead discovered a platform engineered to burn through credits while delivering inconsistent results. Most videos only became usable after 3–5 regenerations, meaning a large chunk of my paid credits disappeared just trying to get something half‑decent. When I raised this, support’s response was to blame my “improper prompts” and throw some generic “guidelines” at me, which did nothing to fix the underlying issue.
The subscription model is even worse. Topview makes a big deal out of “80 credits per month” but quietly treats unused credits as disposable; they explicitly state that credits reset at the beginning of each billing cycle, which you’ll only notice in the fine print on their pricing and feature pages. I renewed my subscription on 22 Dec 2025, didn’t fully use my credits because I was away from my business for a while, and when my plan expired those paid credits were simply wiped out. Even when I offered to resubscribe on the same monthly plan, they flatly refused to restore anything, despite the fact that the credits were already paid for and not some bonus or promo.
What really pushed this from “bad product design” into “never again” territory was their customer service attitude. Instead of acknowledging how unfair it is to erase purchased credits just because a renewal date was missed, the agent doubled down, repeatedly hiding behind the small print and even throwing in snarky remarks implying I had “forgotten the time and shirked responsibility.” The message was crystal clear: if their ambiguous rules cause you to lose money, that’s your problem, not theirs.
To add insult to injury, they were very quick to ask for a positive review when I first joined, and I obliged in good faith. Looking back, I feel misled; that early praise definitely does not reflect the reality of using the platform long‑term. Public listings show the same pricing structure and expiring‑credit model I experienced, so this isn’t a one‑off glitch – it’s how the service is designed to work.
If you value transparent pricing, respect for customers, and a product that doesn’t penalise you for taking a short break from content creation, I would strongly recommend looking at other AI video tools. Topview might look attractive on the surface, but between the aggressive credit burn, non‑rolling credits, and dismissive support, my experience has been frustrating, costly, and ultimately not worth it.
