Trustpilot★☆☆☆☆Pure crap“Pure crap. And a waste of time. Its good practice that you can take to other competition.”
Trustpilot★☆☆☆☆Not free. Probably scam.“"FREE" only on word. A static website went paused because of use of credit. Yeah, 300 credits for a static website with only 1 visitor (me) in one day. The interface is pretty bad also, it is very difficult to manage simple tasks like see the content, force deploy etc... This website looks like a scam...”

Support is just ghosting me & didn't even comment on the issue for days. Shouldn't have trusted the recommendation here - what a waste of time. The same issue”
