Chat AI by DEEP FLOW SOFTWARE SERVICES is generally praised for its helpfulness and ability to generate content, but its value is severely undermined by frequent complaints about chat limits, outdated information, and billing issues, especially for paid users.

While many users find Chat AI helpful for generating content and completing tasks, numerous reviews highlight significant issues with chat limits, even for paid subscribers, and an outdated knowledge base. The app also faces widespread complaints about unexpected charges and difficulty canceling subscriptions, making the paid tiers a poor value.

Free vs paid

The free version of Chat AI allows users to send a limited number of messages, with some reporting only three messages before hitting a paywall . Paid users, including those on 'Pro' or 'Lifetime membership' plans, still encounter chat limits, daily message caps, and conversation cut-offs, which prevent continuous discussions R251R276R321R394. Some users report being charged immediately upon signing up for a 'free trial' R274R280R286.

Worth paying if

It is not worth paying for this app due to pervasive issues with chat limits even for paid users, an outdated knowledge base, and numerous billing complaints.

Skip / stay free if

You should skip paying for Chat AI if you expect unlimited conversations, up-to-date information, or reliable billing practices, as many users report issues in these areas R119R276R321R394. If you need an AI for detailed research or continuous creative writing, this app's limitations will likely be frustrating R251R276R321.

Evidence note: The evidence for this app is heavily skewed, with a large number of recent negative reviews focusing on monetization issues, chat limits, and outdated information, contrasting with many older positive reviews that praise its general helpfulness. The lifetime rating of 4.76 is likely inflated by these older reviews and does not accurately reflect current user sentiment regarding value and paid features.

  1. [R274] 1/5 · GB scam: will charge you even if you cancel during free trial then make it impossible to contact anyone for a refund. dishonest
  2. [R280] 1/5 · GB Scam: Sign up for free trail and boom, you’re charged straight away
  3. [R286] 1/5 · GB Money Taken: I did a free trial and cancelled it about an hour after i did it, to find out that it’s taken 7.99 out of my account after cancelling i am not happy and would like a refund, anybody doing the free trial be careful when you cancel it as it will take the money from your account! - i would appreciate if someone could please get in contact with me as i am not happy at all
  4. [R327] 1/5 · GB Subscription: Can’t cancel it after accidentally paying
  5. [R251] 3/5 · GB 5 star rate from me: It amazing and I recommend it to whom it may concern . Cheers guess but I don’t like it when it cut off and says oops , it looks like we have reached our limit for 20 today . Let’s chat on GPT-4o mini . I should be able to make my choice and it should have unlimited space to take in as much message as possible, because when I start a new conversation it new and not a continuou
  6. [R276] 2/5 · GB Kinda scammy: While I do enjoy the AI models and they are superior compared to the other AI apps I have tried. I must say one massive downside is the chat limit. When I’m creating a story with the AI I get hit with some stupid chat limit and I can’t continue with the conversation. I don’t mind the daily chat limits, but I find the conversational chat limits excruciatingly annoying and unnecessary.
  7. [R321] 1/5 · GB Needs work.: Chat limits run out fast even with pro. You’re in the middle of extensive research and bam the conversation gets ended. It has history but no memory so when you have to start a new chat you cannot continue where you left off. Do you realise how dysfunctional and annoying this is? These are the exact reasons why this app is not good enough, and why I won’t be paying for a subscription
  8. [R394] 1/5 · GB Unclear,Unstable, poor value for money: I’ve been using the AI Image Generator app, and honestly, it’s a huge disappointment considering how much it costs. This isn’t the first time I’ve run into the same annoying message: “I’m sorry, this conversation has worn me out and it looks like we’ve reached the limit. Perhaps we can start talking about something else?” (see attached screenshot). The app i
  9. [R119] 2/5 · US Outdated knowledge base: The knowledge base that this platform is using was last updated October 2023. Really?! As rapid as information and technology is changing, this will very soon become a useless and obsolete AI tool. Yes, it’s the more affordable than others but you’re buying a flip phone instead of a smartphone as AI platforms are concerned.
  10. [R428] 1/5 · GB Very disappointed: Once I started using this app, I was shocked to find that it doesn’t use ChatGPT but was built using ChatGPT and its information comes from October 2023. Consequently, a lot of the answers are incorrect. I also tried the image generator and it was useless even when I kept refining the prompts. It just started repeating some of the same images it had done earlier which were not
  11. [R591] 3/5 · CA Does not keep updated: I paid for a membership but found out later that it does not update and the last accurate info it contained was from around 2023
  12. [R281] 1/5 · GB Worst AI chat I ever used: Don’t waste your money it . Not worth a penny . Tried to create AI images and it doesn’t follow my instructions. Creates photos out of nowhere. Waste of time and money .
  13. [R339] 1/5 · GB Garbage: Can’t edit pictures or when you ask for pictures it’s completely wrong chat gbt is far better
  14. [R423] 3/5 · GB Image generator can’t spell: Tattoo generator is poor
  15. [R2] 5/5 · US Love it: It has allowed me to post every day and not have to figure out what I’m going to say
  16. [R8] 5/5 · US Great job: Loved Ai It helped me a lot
  17. [R10] 4/5 · US Very helpful: Helpful to complete assignments. Bought the app asap. Lifetime membership as well sign me up. Used it daily so beneficial game changer
  18. [R17] 5/5 · US AI is perfect for me.: I really like AI it give me information that I wouldn’t think of. AI is very helpful to me.
  19. [R3] 5/5 · US AI: I gained my knowledge in AI, so accurate to the questions I asked and gave a very meaningful response. I'm very honored that I’ve been introduced to this platform of the medium that people can use and interact with. Thank you!
  20. [R12] 5/5 · US Amazing help: Thank you for this enciclopédia
  21. [R14] 5/5 · US Dependable: Truest to its word and thanks for being so helpful.
  22. [R9] 5/5 · US Love this app. Best ever: Makes my life so easy
  23. [R15] 5/5 · US Good Job: The UI/UX is a bit much but I the its user friendly for all ages above 12 years of age. Diminishing the digital layout will help it be a little more navigable.
  24. [R28] 5/5 · US Best thing since sliced bread: This is so easy to use and so adequately designed equipped to bring in vision and thoughts to life
  25. [R51] 1/5 · US Trash: Free trial and I feel like I should be owed money. 30 minutes into free trial and will cancel and uninstall. Complete disappointment and waste of time. It didn’t deserve the 1 star I had to give
  26. [R180] 1/5 · US Cannot even write a full long sentence: I got this app because I thought it will replace google gemini because Google gemini has some restriction things that’s not even allowed on there despite Google allowing some things that is 18+ so I thought this app could do this for me but no, it has a limit of the amount of words, which means I can barely write a full sentence. How can I write a full sente
  27. [R222] 3/5 · US No word limit: It seems good and the ai is friendly, but theres a word limit so i can’t input all my information into one message! My fingers get tired easily so i have this copy and pasted message that i use, but now i have to continuously separate it into multiple parts.
  28. [R241] 2/5 · US The Change text box need to be fix: I’m having trouble with changing text because the chat box have become to small to operate with
