Read this properly Don t risk taking a trial you will be charged even after you cancel
I took a 14 day trial of uscreen on the 9th of January I didn t like the platform because of extortionist charges So I cancelled within 10 days I use a lot of SaaS products so I was used to the process and I ALWAYS PUT AN ALARM ON MY CALENDAR so I assumed that was it when I cancelled Today I logged into my bank account to find 2 months worth of payments to uScreen So I am assuming they had a glitch because I can t believe they would be stupid enough to intentionally not cancel accounts on request Anyway they saved my card details and kept charging me and would have continued to charge me had I not logged into my bank account Every single software company emails you before the trial expires and before every payment after you become a customer And they DID NOT send me a single email to say that payment will be taken and I have all my emails So this is 2 months in a tow If they believe what I am saying is not true PROVE IT Because I can show you my mailbox When I signed up for the trial the cancellation was fairly straightforward I logged in today and recorded the whole process which I will publish so that you don t have to suffer like me Most software or SaaS companies allow you to cancel the account by logging into the dashboard It s fairly common in the industry Uscreen insists on you emailing them I don t get this If a company is confident in its product and feels it offers great value then why the desperation to put obstacles so that people have jump over barriers to cancel More important people don t sign up for ANY COMPANY that insists on card details in advance Most companies nowadays don t want card details in advance Look around you will see I am right I was stupid and and didn t believe their system would be this bad One other thing you should know Most companies like this will have customer support 7 days Some will have 24 7 live chat Even if it s not 24 7 chat they will have email support 7 days even if they don t have phone support With Uscreen as a PAYING customer you will have to wait till Monday for someone responds to you Imagine running VOD channel and something goes wrong and you are relying on people who do your IT aka uscreen and they are doing 9-5 I had no intention of going into all the problems I found with the platform I had left after trying it and just kept my opinions to myself However one of the worst things you can do to someone who gave you the courtesy of trying your product is to take money without permission worst of it not even a basic email to say that money was going to be taken 2 MONTHS IN A ROW I have since signed up for a platform where I am getting double the amount of videos built in quizzes iOS and Android app for less than 1500 per Year uscreen prices for that would above 6- 10 000 a year Just check with uscreen they can tell you because I have the emails from uscreen support uScreen you need to refund me my money It s the least you should do Before you consider responding investigate this properly Oh one other thing Does uscreen not care about its paying customers If we assume for a second that I was a willing paying customer The least a SaaS company normally would do is to check if that customer is logging into their account and if they are happy and if the onboarding has gone well etc And the bare minimum basics like have they uploaded videos or a site That would have straight away given alarm bells to any customer service agent unless they are told to keep charging I have not logged in after cancelling the trial within 14 days and never published it on a domain That was almost 2 months ago A few weeks ago I trialled Setmore scheduling app Even though I did not proceed with them I was shocked at how great the service was They sent me emails to say why I wasn t logging in and even called me twice to see if I needed help I work in IT so I know these are automated in their workflow but even though I know this I felt they appreciated my business So even after not using them I would happily recommend them in the future because they made me feel valued I think Setmore plans start at about 10 a month and you guys start at 100 a month so uscreen just ignores its customers Business must be too good
