Impractical. Avoid.

This will be the first 1-taco review I think I’ve written on AppSumo. Simply put, Straico is impractical to use as an LTD as it consumes way too many coins. So much so, that you’ll think it’s a glitch until you take the issue up with the founders and they confirm that it’s to be expected, making excuses and outright lying about the average number of LLM word outputs to shift the blame. I ran 4 models side-by-side, DeepSeekV3, ChatGPT4o-mini, Claude 3.5 Sonnet and Open AI o1. I asked them translate 108 words. Only one model managed to perform the task (Claude); the others simply spat back short text asking me to share the text for translation. It consumed 8,000 coins. For 108 words… Looking at the other reviews, I’m not the only one with these sentiments but the common thread with the replies appears to be founder’s hubris hiding behind excuses and palming the blame off to the user. It is impractical to expect the tool to do what it says on the box if you ask it to output a simple translation and it spits back 108 words while eating 8,000 coins! Don’t try and go to the team about it—they’ll blame you and lie about LLMs outputting only a maximum of 800 words (like that would be relevant to the problem even if it were true). Don’t expect Straico’s main features to be useful for LLM chat unless you have millions of coins. I enjoyed refunding this.

Hello there,

Thank you for sharing your experience with Straico. We truly value your feedback and understand your concerns regarding coin consumption.

It’s true that coin usage can vary depending on the model and task. Some models you mentioned are indeed more resource-intensive. However, we’re actively working on implementing a retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) system to narrow down the...

The best purchase ever

Hi,

I use Straico almost everyday for my work, primarily around content and research.

My favorite lifetime deal AI service

I have purchased a number of lifetime deals and non-lifetime deals for various other services just like Straico, and I have to say Straico is one of my favorites. The amount of credits you get and how much you are able to chat is extremely generous. If I had gotten a lower plan, I probably would have been happy with it too. Just for an idea, I have a setup in Straico where I ask 4 LLMs the same question so I can compare answers and learn a bit faster, and it uses about 50 coins per query. I get 40,000 coins per month. That is kind of insane, I will probably never hit the limit even if I stick only to using Straico for my LLM needs. This place is the real deal, if you can't get the lifetime deal anymore and are considering a monthly subscription, definitely go for it!

Though a good tool, coin consumption is crazy with no option to use trained chats otherwise

If you try to use a trained chat - coin usage just increases exponentially - there is no way to limit this or you just need to train again. There was supposed to be light mode but not yet. Was such a good one, but now cannot use this practically

Testing only LLMs

After buying Tier 3 I have refund it because:

- I was unable to get a straightforward French to English translation, as it kept asking how I’d like to proceed and repeatedly offered to summarize the text. Even though I specified that it has occurred with different models Straico's answer was: "I’d strongly recommend testing multiple models to find the one that provides the best results for your specific task." But what if I like how a specific model translates?

- Another issue is that I requested a complete translation in one response - as the model offered it itself, but it did not initially provide this. However, after translating in parts, I asked it to combine the text, and it did, indicating that the issue lies not with the text length but with something else. Straico's answer: "it’s worth noting that AI providers often enforce character or word limits on the model’s outputs." "We recommend you try with multiple models to determine which model has a longer output limit, so you can get the answer in fewer outputs. "

- Additionally, Straico's support also mentioned, "the issue doesn’t appear to be on our end", so I tested the same prompt in the LLM's original app, and surely the response was accurate and concise, free of unnecessary questions, opinions, or divided answers.

So, I believe that Straico uses a pre-prompt that needs adjustment, as it complicates the user's tasks, and consumes time and credits on jobs the user did not request. And even though Straico's team will have a positive attitude in their responses, the real outcome you get from Straico - at least for now - is that the LLMs on their app are for testing only, at the price of your time and credits.
