Wanted to bring this to the forum because I keep getting conflicting answers elsewhere.
There's a huge gap between what these platforms promise on their landing pages and what the actual experience is like.
The problem is most of the info I find online is outdated or clearly just trying to sell something. I want to hear from people who've actually used these things recently.
- Always check for recent reviews, not just the homepage testimonials
- Test the free tier thoroughly before paying anything
- Never share your real phone number in early conversations
Even negative experiences are useful — helps narrow down what to avoid.
