Deceptive pricing! Beware! Zero stars. Cancelled subscription. Other apps are much better.

Update: I emailed the developer and they gave zero resolution to the problem and I cancelled my subscription. There are many more apps that do a much better job without this outrageous deceptive pricing. Such as, BgMaster, Colorize, ReShoot, Yore, AI Photo. Stay away from this app. They said they needed a mental health day and now they’re back..,that’s because everyone is furious they got ripped off and they’re posting terrible reviews about this app. I purchased a one year subscription on June 12, 2026 and was able to use all features including the AI camera features with zero restrictions and zero up charges. Now all of a sudden I cannot use any AI camera features and the app is telling me I am out of “credits”. Under no circumstances were credits ever required or when I made my subscription purchase, nor was it indicated that credits would be an additional required purchase at a later date. I will be canceling my subscription and writing a review telling people this app has deceptive pricing.

Don’t do it

It’s false advertising and when you buy the subscription, it doesn’t include anything that seemed to be included when you had the free trial. I emailed them to express this and they replied once and then just stopped replying and ignored me.

I loved

Es los mejores filtros amo esta app

ugh

to use the filters you have to have a subscription

Fraude

J’ai téléchargé cette application ce matin. J’explorais les fonctionnalités, quand j’ai reçu une notification de ma banque disant que j’ai acheté pour 33,88$ chez Apple. Sur la plate-forme d’Apple, la seule dépense que j’ai engendrée aujourd’hui, c’est cette application. Je ne me suis jamais abonné au forfait premium, mais pourtant, il me l’ont chargé.

Total Scam

I purchased the annual subscription about a month ago and absolutely loved this app… Until they changed their model where you have to use credits every single time you use an AI feature. There’s literally nothing about this app worth using any longer, as you’ll end up using all your credits just trying to find a filter you like per photo. I honestly wish I could get my money back because it was a total scam

Not worth it

You have to agree to a free trial to use it and based on other reviews of people getting charged during the free trial I am not gonna waste my money on an app like this. You clearly have to pay for everything to see any features and I don’t think that’s worth it.

Response from developer

Hello! We're sorry for the frustration. Paid features help us keep improving Esti. Because creating AI content requires high-powered external server processing for each generation, these features consume credits. We truly appreciate your feedback. For any other suggestions, please contact us via the app's Settings -> Help -> Send feedback.

Charged $16 for nothing?

I opted for a free 3 day trial but was immediately charged $16.99. No better than any photo editing app and way more expensive.

It changed

This was my go to app for everything! Best app by far until they changed it to now having to use “credits” to use the filters. Having to pay for the quantity of edits it’s not it.

Not happy with updates

At first, I loved this app. I paid for premium and used it to filter all my pics and make them look cuter. I used the blue hour filter on soooo many pictures of sunsets and views and it made me glad I spent my money on better filters. Then I open my app last week to edit a photo and I find out that I have to spend MORE money in order to get the experience that I had ALREADY PAID FOR. So disappointed in this recent update and I am very unhappy that I spent money in the first place. Really unfortunate because it was such a good app at first.

not recommend downloading this app!!!

I definitely do not recommend downloading this app.

First, you’re forced to go through a long onboarding process with multiple steps, answering endless questions about your preferences, how you edit photos, and what you plan to use the app for. After all that, you realize that the free editing tools are actually more limited—and the results are worse—than the built-in photo editing features on an iPhone.

Almost every useful feature is locked behind an expensive subscription.

Very disappointing. Deleting it immediately.

Why

The app has changed. I liked the new g7x filter but we have lost the ability to reduce the intensity of the filter. It looks insane at full intensity. Please let us change the intensity.

Kind of expensive

I’ve been joined for 2 minutes and I’m being asked for a review. So far my only opinion is, damn $7 a week is alot.

excellent filters

worth trying the free trial, the filters are great 👍🏼 i may just get the yearly

False advertising

The camera options advertised on their Instagram ads such as Backlight, Flash, Golden Hour, Blue Hour etc have been moved to an Ai Studio tab where you have to pay EXTRA (using coins) on top of the subscription fee you already have to pay. There are some good filters and camera options on here but it’s still false advertising and I’ll be going with one of the other apps that do the same job but aren’t making me pay more. They also love to delete your comments on socials when calling them out so feels like a scam imo.

It was so good what happened??

I’ve been using the app and paying I loved it but last week it’s changed. It’s not as good anymore. The filters all changed now even the upgraded Ai filters are not as good they do too much blur on the face. Can we change back please😭

Expensive

6.99 a week!!!!
