One Month's Notice, Millions of Credits Lost
I deeply regret purchasing Straico.
Like many other customers, I bought a lifetime deal expecting the platform to continue growing. Instead, Straico announced that it would shut down with only one month's notice, leaving lifetime customers with virtually no time to make meaningful use of what they paid for.
I still have more than **1.5 million credits** remaining, and it's practically impossible to use them all before the service disappears. To make matters worse, the features that consume credits the fastest—and that many of us relied on—have either stopped working or have been removed.
Google Veo has been unusable for quite some time, and Kling, one of the main video generation models, was removed entirely. Video generation is exactly the kind of feature that helps users spend their credits, yet it disappeared during the final month of the service. At this point, I have no confidence that these services will ever be restored before the shutdown.
What disappoints me even more is how Straico has handled this situation. After announcing the shutdown, they seem to have given up on supporting the platform altogether. Bugs remain unfixed, major services are unavailable, and there has been little sign of any effort to help customers use the credits they legitimately purchased. This reflects a serious lack of responsibility and respect for paying customers.
Unfortunately, this experience reinforces a growing concern about lifetime deals. More and more products disappear before they ever mature into reliable services, leaving customers with nothing but wasted money. Straico has become another example of that trend.
I cannot recommend this product to anyone. If you're considering buying a lifetime deal from a young AI startup, think very carefully. My experience with Straico has completely destroyed my confidence in both this company and the lifetime deal model.
