Broken and dishonest business model
Domestika relies on customers overlooking large recurring charges as their standard business practice. I bought a US$1.31 drawing course. That purchase also started a 30-day Domestika Plus trial that converted into a £269 annual subscription. The recurring charge was disclosed in fine print beneath promotional content. Domestika charged me £269 in August 2025 and another £269 in July 2026. I received no notice before the 2026 renewal and no email confirming either charge. I discovered the subscription only after noticing the second charge on my bank statement. I had never used Domestika Plus, cancelled immediately, and requested a refund. They refused even to refund the brand-new, completely unused renewal. A subscription model built around fine print, silence at renewal, and a blanket no-refund policy is deeply broken. I will update this review if Domestika refunds the charges.
