Paid one month basic, had 5k credits, I stopped my subscription so they removed my left over 3,800 unused.

One-time credit purchases require active subscription

medium addon

Additional credit packs purchased separately cannot be used without maintaining an active paid subscription, despite marketing suggesting they work as a subscription alternative.

trustpilot
I purchased a package of additional calculation units and it turns out that it is not valid if you do not have a subscription! Although there was no information about this! It was written that these calculation units are instead of a subscription, but this is not true.

Hidden subscription management UI

medium support

The billing dashboard does not clearly display active subscriptions or provide obvious cancellation options. Users report having to search through hidden workspace menus to find downgrade/cancel options.

trustpilot
The billing dashboard was incomplete and did not display the active plan, so I had no way to cancel in time. Only after searching through hidden workspace menus I found a downgrade option.

Charges continue after account deletion

critical support

Some users report recurring charges continuing even after deleting their account, with no way to log in and cancel the subscription.

trustpilot
I deleted my Krea account a long time ago, but they are still charging my card every month. I no longer have access to the account, I cannot log in, and there is no active subscription visible, yet the payments continue.
