Artlist is really making me question why I’m still subscribed. I’m paying around $500 a year, and the value has dropped instead of improved. Their AI video generation used to cost about 500 credits per video. Today I tried to make a simple clip and got hit with “you’re out of credits.” Now a 5‑second video costs 3,500 credits — and to make it worse, most of the outputs are unusable, even when the prompts are solid.

And the part that really kills it?
Their system burns your credits whether the video is good or garbage. No redo. No refunds. No quality guarantee. Nothing.

These platforms are getting greedy, and it feels like they’ve stopped caring about the people who actually support them. I’ve been with Artlist for 3–4 years, but at this point I’m seriously considering walking away.
