replyNot only did it burn a 100$ failing but it did so in a very untransparent way.
I bought a 20 dollar plan but they snuck a 100$ billed usage into the billing agreements next thing I know the agent as used the quote going in circles and my card is billed.

replyYou can already do this: hire a consultancy to build you a working deliverable for a fixed price. They will be incentivized to prompt their tools well and to avoid tools that are consistently pathological.
They will also charge a lot more than you using the service if they aren’t charlatans

I’m so sick of this that I go to the trouble to set up prepaid cards to pay for these things now.
