REVIEWS
Why People Love Upmetrics Over LivePlan?
I never used it after the trial, but they kept charging me $40/month for 10 months with no reminder emails. Feels like they profit from people forgetting to cancel.
Charlie Dominguez
I like the overall layout and section flow—it’s well organized. But it feels too limited when it comes to adding or importing graphs from other tools. That kind of flexibility should be standard. Also, ChatGPT performs much better than the built-in AI feature.
They use refund only as a sales strategy. I have realized inside in 24hrs that i forgot and sticked to premium instead of standard one. When i reach to them for a downgrade refund they refused. But it’s not acceptable, so looking for new alternatives.
