Intch

Pros: I signed up for Intch Pro after leaving a review, following an offer that explicitly advertised a "free 1-month Intch Pro subscription" with a 100% discount and a button saying "Activate Intch Pro for free."

Cons: terrible customer support
Misleading free trial offer



Despite this, I was charged for the subscription.

I contacted customer support requesting a refund and provided a screenshot clearly showing the offer. On October 28, I supplied all the additional information they requested. Since then, I have followed up multiple times without receiving a meaningful response or an explanation for the charge.

My subscription was eventually confirmed as cancelled, but my refund request remains unresolved.

What makes this particularly frustrating is the lack of transparency. If an offer says "free" and displays a price of $0.00, customers should reasonably expect not to be charged for that period.

Based on my experience, I find this marketing misleading and the customer support extremely disappointing.

Overall: I would strongly advise others to be cautious before entering their payment details or activating a subscription through Intch's promotional offers.

Pros: The INTCH app will never help you find additional work! None of the promises are kept. You will be forced to fill out endless forms and post endless descriptions of your skills and abilities, yet your profile rating still won’t be good enough for anyone to offer you a job. Overall the app is a scam, because there’s no way to cancel the subscription afterwards. You will be charged €35 every month without warning. From what I understand from my bank, the only option is to block or cancel the payment card so their non‑cancelable subscription disappears. They won’t refund the money, because they rely on their internal rules (so to speak, “deal with it”). Please do not install or use this app — it’s a pure scam!

Overall: App is fraudulent SCAM! The INTCH application is designed to fraudulently obtain at least one month’s subscription fee. Once this is done, customer service will acknowledge it and state that it is not their problem and that no refund is possible. The promised service is not provided

Pros: Nothing. It looked like there were so many possibilities..... but no. It was nothing like what was portrayed in the advertising.

Cons: Don’t touch these guys unless you have 100% researched what you are getting into. I saw one of their ads on Facebooks taking about how you could use their platform to look for lots of part time gigs and “side hustles” including work from home opportunities and more (I have screenshots of all their ads if anyone wants to challenge me on that assertion).

Normally I am quite reserved and do quite a bit of research before signing up for something like this, but their advertising seemed pretty straightforward – use the platform to look for gigs and side hustles – perfect for what I was looking for. So, I signed up. Got immediate access after a bit of an issue with their technology not working, but within 15 minutes I was in and had a look around, filled out the details they asked for and then set about seeing what gigs and side hustles were out there. Well, it took me 10 minutes to realise that the reality of the site/platform was NOTHING like what was portrayed in their advertising. It’s just a very poorly executed version of LinkedIn where you can make connections and hopefully pick up work that way.

My bad for not reading the reviews before jumping in – so buyer beware.
I paid $49.99 for 12 months access and with 30 minutes of signing up and realising it was nothing like it had been portrayed I wrote to them and asked for a refund. I was very politely told that under their User Agreement there were no refunds. I replied to them and said I fully acknowledged their user agreement, that was not the problem… what I was concerned about was that their advertising was misleading and I had signed up under false pretences. Their reply to this was that while they acknowledged their advertising may have lead to the wrong impression about what their site did, there would still be no refund.

So, here I am, $50 out of pocket (not a huge deal in the grand scheme of things) but with a sour taste in my mouth and backing many of the other reviews that I have read that speak of a company that is more interested in grabbing your money than keeping you happy (I could have walked away from this going “well, the platform was not what was portrayed but they refunded my money so I’m walking away happy – while it wasn’t for me, it may work for other people”. Instead, I walk away disgruntled and adding to the chorus of complaints being expressed online.

Overall: Exceeding disappointed - the end result could have been so different!! The platform was not for me and a simple refund would have had me walk away with the attitude "well I wasn't happy the advertising was misleading, but they refunded my money - we all walk away happy"... but no, they wouldn't even come at a refund under those circumstances.
