Checked 23 Sept 2026. Based on the 80 Trustpilot reviews and 1 web discussion we could read (24 Apr 2025 to 22 Sept 2026). Review sites over-represent people with strong experiences, especially billing and support problems, so this shows what reviewers say, not every customer. The company's promise is quoted word for word from its own site. An AI groups reviews by topic; the counts and the verdict are fixed rules. How the Reality Gap works
