Outdated, buggy, unable to generate errors.
I have to be honest, this has been my biggest LTD disappointment.
It started off okay, but it went downhill fast. At this point, the video side of the platform feels outdated, overpriced, and badly behind the market.
Their video and image lineup is behind.
To stay competitive, they urgently need to add:
Video Models:
- Seedance 2.0 (This is the most important model qolaba needs to get to stay competitive because this is the new industry standard, if your platform doesn't have seedance 2.0, most people will leave and go to a platform that has seedance 2.0)
- Kling Motion Control - a specific kling model seperate than kling 3.0 where you upload a video and it copies the motion
- Kling Omni (v3) this is better than the standard kling 3.0 and better than the pro 3.0 because it allows multi reference. Kling omni v3.0 is the actual full model that allows you to upload up to i believe 5 reference images and a video.
- Wan 2.5 with custom audio upload
- Ltx 2.3 with 4k option
Image Models:
- add Nano banana 2 with 4k
- they have nano banana pro but need the options up to 4k
- Gpt 1.5
- Recraft 4
- Imagen 4 ultra
- Qwen Image Edit
- Z turbo
- Grok Imagine (image model)
- Latest Wan Image model
- 1080p and 4K video options and better pricing
The only feature I consistently liked was the text-to-speech, but even that is unreliable. I regularly get “can’t generate” errors.
Their chat models are okay, and that is probably the one area they update the most, but even there they still feel behind. From what I can see, they are still on GPT-5.2, while other LTDs already have GPT-5.4.
This was one of my most expensive LTD purchases, and it has turned into one of my worst-performing AI buys in terms of model updates, video resolution options, and credit efficiency. I bought two accounts, so this is about $1,200 that feels wasted. To put that into perspective, I have LTD accounts that cost me around $300 and give me double the generations of the $1,200 I spent on two Qolaba accounts, while also offering better, newer models and more support than Qolaba. So you can imagine how sick that feels.
Every day I think about how, if I had just waited for better LTDs, I would have ended up with more accounts that have Seedance 2.0 and AI agents. For what I spent on Qolaba, I could have had three more accounts with another company that would have given me 8 times more generation. The worst part is that I gave a lot of this feedback six months ago about keeping up with models, and it has not gotten any better. They are holding community meetings on things like better prompting, but that is not what people care about most. People care about having the right models and updates that actually provide value.
You do not need to be an expert prompter because you can literally type into ChatGPT, “make my prompt better.” It is not rocket science. But not only that, Seedance 2.0 fixed a lot of the prompting problem. Seedance 2.0 is the first model where you do not have to be great at prompting because it implements multi-modal reference, but they do not seem to know this because they have not researched the market well enough. If they knew this, they would not have had a workshop on how to prompt better. There are already tons of videos by great YouTubers like TaoPrompts that cover this topic. They have not learned how to properly read the room and ask the right questions, and I say that because if they had, they would know the real issue is that Qolaba lacks the right models that support multi-modal references. Once multi-modal reference became a thing, you do not have to be great at prompting because the AI model has references and the proper training to achieve stellar results .
What worries me most is that this is not just a “needs improvement” situation anymore. It feels like they are actively falling behind while competitors keep moving forward. If they do not start updating faster, improve pricing, and modernize the platform, I honestly worry they could price themselves out of relevance.
They also need to rethink their YouTube content. Right now, it feels too much like advertising. They should be making practical content like “here is how to create a poster” or “here is how to make a singing video with Qolaba tools,” oooo wait, my bad, you cannot, BECAUSE YOU DO NOT HAVE THE RIGHT MODELS. That is the whole problem. They promised Omnihuman 6 months ago and it never came. Now Seedance 2.0 is out on other platforms which is way better at lip-syncing anyway.
They also need to study competing LTD platforms more seriously. If they did, they would quickly see two things: they are outdated, and they are overpriced. Some competing platforms now offer newer and stronger models for three to eight times less.
Right now, i have barely used the LTD because it frequently doesn't work. If they fix the issues and improve then I will revisit my review. But for now, this is feedback on what needs to change.
