We hired BYC for our Aiklo/Stix project. We read the reviews before hiring them but gave credibility to most of the positive ones. As we worked with them until the end of the campaign, we realized we had made a mistake. I fully agree with the other negative reviews (I completely subscribe to Chris review from 8th Oct 24). The service they offer is a scam. DO NOT trust the high-rated reviews.At first glance, everything seems well-intentioned, and communication is acceptable, but there is zero transparency. The first draft of the landing page was terrible, with no logical structure. It looked like it was automatically generated. In the end, we had to create it entirely ourselves. They do not share the ad account, so we have no way of knowing how much they are actually spending to generate leads. They only provide a dashboard with a graph showing the number of leads and CPC. The results are highly questionable, as the lead growth follows a perfectly constant pattern. It is impossible for the daily increase percentage to be almost identical every week. They claim they spend a budget on ads, but they do not share any data. They generated 5,600 leads at an average CPC of $1.34, which would amount to $7,504. Does anyone really believe they spent more than what we paid for the service? During the KS campaign, they were also supposed to spend on ads, but since they never shared any information, we are certain they did not spend anything. The service included influencer collaborations to promote the project, as well as media presence. We asked them to send us links to all this content, but they have not provided anything. Now, they are not even responding.If you hire these types of success-based agencies, you will be throwing your money away. They know that only a tiny percentage of projects reach their goal. So their real objective is to charge as much as possible while delivering the bare minimum service and, obviously, spending nothing on advertising—which is why they refuse to share any information.
