Helpful But Underperforms

T-4 buyer and I first need to admit that I have liked the tool initially. It has helped me create some new posts on occasion but mostly, I use it just to schedule posts. I often leverage Chat GPT or Gemini and Canva to write captions and create images externally. The AI image generation in Followr underperforms. The majority of the images it has created for me are not usable and I have an easier time using Canva. Followr's image editor is too basic as well. I am still hoping that Followr will continue to improve and am VERY much waiting on a Google Business Update integration. I was surprised to read about GPT-4o being available BUT I can't use it. Even though I am a paid Chat GPT subscriber and use 4o almost daily, Followr is now asking for $99/year to unlock such features. To be honest, I'm thinking about paying the $99 with the hope that the text and image creation will vastly improve --- but something tells me that will likely not be the case. Why can't you at least give appsumo buyers a free 30 day trial for the add-ons to see if they actually improve our experience with the app first? Also - schedule and record a webinar to walk through the add-ons and run some examples. As of right now, I don't trust that the added investment for me is going to result in the quality I am looking for. I can't speak for everyone but the reason we often buy on appsumo is to find great tools that can support our businesses and save us money. But in this case, you're asking for more money before many of us have seen the initial value we expected.
