Buyer Beware
Did I need another AI writing tool? Absolutely not. Am I a sucker for deals, yes. I promised myself I would never buy another AS deal where all the plans are mapped to the basic plan as it always comes back to bite me with very limited features.
The plans and features section says basic and pro images included, well...guess what? There's premium images you don't get access too. As a matter of fact, only two of the image options are labeled as basic. It's an illusion that you'll get the pro image options when in reality the best models are an up-sale. What I was most upset about was, I signed up for a free trial to try out the app and all the image options were available. Well, you guessed it, those go away once you pay. There's nowhere in the AS deal or on their website in the plan section that tells you this. It says "auto featured images" under ALL plans.
On top of that, you're also limited in the keywords features. The long tail keywords tool is unavailable in the AS deal (along with auto-blogging). Anyway, just prepared to be extremely limited in features and I can only image that will get worse over time as they add new features. Not interested in investing in something to where it's going to be a guessing game if new features are going to be available down the road. When they stick you on the basic plan, that becomes easy. Refund on the way

Feb 19, 2025Thank you for sharing your honest feedback.
I'm sorry to hear that your experience with Abun didn’t meet your expectations. Transparency is important to us, and we’d like to clarify a few things.
The AppSumo deal includes access to both basic and pro images, as noted in our pricing structure. Premium featured images are not included in AppSumo LTD because they require expensive third-party APIs. However, we are determining whether we could offer a BYOK for featured images for all users.
Also, once image generation becomes cheaper in the future, we will make it available to all users.
We understand that the transition from the trial to LTD may have caused some confusion, and we sincerely apologize if this wasn’t understood clearly. We’ll work on making this information more explicit to avoid any future misunderstandings.
The long-tail keywords tool is available in the AS deal. There's a UI issue that shows the button disabled. You can simply press enter to submit the keyword and use the long-tail keyword tool. The team will push a quick fix for it in the next update.
We respect your decision and appreciate you giving Abun a try. If you ever reconsider, we’d love to have you back and ensure a smoother experience. If there’s anything we can do to improve your perception of the product, please feel free to let me know.
