This website uses highly misleading practices. I signed up thinking i was being charged just $1 as advertised on this page. However, without any clear warning or upfront breakdown, they immediately charged my card $20,00.
I request immidiatly for my refund. They keep sending me respond that they will not refund my money back. DO NOT USE ANY SERVICE WHAT THEY HAVE TO OFFER AND MAKE A CV SOMEWHERE ELSE. I CURRENTLY ON THE PHONE WITH MY BANK ABOUT THIS MATTER. I HAVE NO WORDS, WHAT A DISCUSTING WAY TO HANDLE CLIENTS.

The templates are good,however they don’t make it easy to unsubscribe,they charged me 3 times even though I already unsubscribed on the website,turns out,if you check your account after you are still subscribed,even though I already cancelled.The only way to make sure you cancelled is to write an email,otherwise they just continued to take money from my account.Thats unacceptable and evens if you explain your situation to them they won’t give you any refund.Its easy for them to just show their terms and conditions and because I cancelled the first 3 times through their website you can’t show them a receipt that you already cancelled and they just charged me again.The only safe way to cancel is to write them an email.I find that highly unacceptable.

Subscribed with them on the 27/07/2026 paid € 1. And today by inadvertance I click on a block where almost € 10 were taken from my account. Sent them messages instantly, they made the refund the same time. Quite reactive.

SCAM.....I genuinely believe the company is a scam, deeply and honestly.. They charge me R418.37 AT 09:06, then when I try to cancel my subscription, they still took R150 for that, insane because this is my third time trying to cancel, even before my trial ends, when the company sees this, I want my refund and PROOF that on your side that I tried to cancel the subsctiption / have.. this is the worst app you can use, they dont care about clients. I WANT my REFUND. I am more than willing to see how I can sort this out legally. Send me an email; I want to sort this out, and the communication is bad.. When the company sees this email me directly. Terrible platform that does not care about its customers.

I am satisfied with the quality of the CV I received, and I think the final result was good. However, my experience with the subscription process was disappointing.
The subscription is quite expensive, and canceling it is more difficult than it should be. I was charged €16.40 for the subscription even though I did not use any additional services. At first, the company refused to refund the €16.40, but after I insisted and explained the situation, they eventually refunded the money.
I did not ask for any compensation regarding the subscription because I accept that it was my responsibility not to cancel it on time. Still, I believe the cancellation process should be much clearer and more user-friendly to prevent other customers from having the same experience.
Overall, I would recommend the CV service itself, but I encourage the company to improve the transparency and ease of managing subscriptions.
The payment system is extremely misleading. I signed up because it appeared to be a $1 charge. Shortly afterward, I was charged $10, and then the company repeatedly attempted to charge my card $25 for a membership I never knowingly signed up for or authorized.
The subscription and billing terms are not presented clearly, making it easy to believe you’re making a one-time payment when you’re actually being enrolled in recurring charges.
Even after I canceled and contacted support multiple times, they continued attempting to charge my card. I had to repeatedly ask them to stop the payment attempts and remove my payment information.
This experience has been incredibly frustrating. Be very careful before entering your payment details, and make sure you fully understand what you’re agreeing to before making any purchase.

Warning: Hidden Subscription and Automatic Charging!Do not use this website. I used it to create a resume, and they charged my card without any clear notice. The trial period automatically turns into an expensive weekly/monthly subscription that is extremely difficult to cancel. They make it almost impossible to remove your card details from the system. This is a total scam. Avoid at all costs!

Scam website (danger)
When I signed up, I only agreed to pay 190 JPY. I was never clearly informed that I would later be charged 7,100 JPY for a membership. If I had known about this charge, I would never have used your service.
I understand that you say the membership fee is written in the Terms of Service. However, such an important charge should be clearly explained before payment, not hidden in the Terms of Service. I do not believe this is fair.
I have used services from companies like Microsoft, and I have never experienced a situation where a large membership fee was charged without being clearly presented beforehand.
I am very dissatisfied that 7,100 JPY was deducted from my account without my clear understanding or consent. I respectfully request a full refund of this charge.
is unfair and unjust that, after the free trial ends, users are automatically charged a weekly or monthly subscription fee of around $48 without their clear knowledge or explicit consent. It is also difficult to remove saved payment card information or cancel the subscription.
I only agreed to pay 190 JPY, but I was later charged 7,100 JPY for a membership without clearly understanding that this would happen. The company says it was written in the Terms of Service, but such an important charge should have been clearly displayed before payment. If I had known about the 7,100 JPY fee, I would never have used the service. I feel this was unfair and very misleading. I hope the company improves its billing transparency and refunds customers who were charged unexpectedly.
If my bank card had not been replaced, your company would have continued charging me automatically. I only realized what was happening because my card was changed and the payment could no longer be processed.

SCAM
we I only had intention of paying 190 yen for the first week and canceled my subscription the day I purchased it only to be charged 7100 yen and 1300 yen additionally the following month. I'm trying to get a refund at the moment but this company is definitely really shady. Don’t buy anything from here.

I strongly advise people to avoid BetterCV.
I have been charged USD 8.95 every month through automatic renewals, even though I tried multiple times to cancel my subscription. Despite my efforts, the recurring payments continued.
To make matters worse, I can no longer log in to my account, so I cannot manage or cancel my subscription through the platform. I contacted support, but my issue has not been resolved.
This has been a very frustrating experience. If you decide to use BetterCV, be very careful with the subscription and automatic billing. Based on my experience, I do not recommend this platform.
