One off purchase surely
I've only just seen this for the first time and am trying to access the legitimacy of it. I thought it was a one off 39 dollar payment for the cd, etc., and that was it. What's this about subscriptions and being unable to unsubscribe? It's supposed to be just a product you purchase one time and one time only. Mary Gilligan

Hi Mary,
Thank you for taking the time to write a review. I think there might be some confusion about our service.
Brain.fm is a digital subscription service that provides focus music through our app and website - we don't sell physical CDs or one-time purchases for $39. Our service operates on a subscription model (monthly or yearly) that gives you continuous access to our full library of focus music.
It seems possible you might have confused us with another product. If you did sign up for Brain.fm and have questions about your subscription or would like help canceling, please contact our support team at support@brain.fm and we'll be happy to assist you.
Looks like a scam site
If you really have a service worth a monthly subscription, then allow new users to try it out for atleast 30 days without having to provide any payment methods.
When you read about users having difficulty unsubscribing again and you are met with requirement of providing card details, it sounds like a scam site.
Only trial option triggers a yearly subscription after 14 days, no option for trial and then monthly.

Thank you so much for your feedback! We really do value hearing from our customers, even when it's not all positive.
I wanted to clear up a couple things about our trial options:
Yes, our 30-day trial (available through referrals and affiliates) does require payment info upfront - this is pretty standard for subscription services, but I totally get why that can feel concerning! If you have reservations about this process, please reach out to our team directly at support@brain.fm- we're committed to finding solutions that work for our customers' individual needs and concerns.
We understand that navigating subscription services can sometimes be tricky, and we're genuinely here to help! Our team loves providing personalized guidance to make sure you get the most out of your experience with us.
If you had any trouble with cancellation or just want someone to walk you through the platform, please contact us. A real person from our team will be happy to assist you.
Your feedback helps us improve, and we're grateful you took the time to share your thoughts with us.

Why are Reviews so Low? This app has litterily been my life
I have absolutely no idea why the reviews are so low on this and people saying it doesn't work. This app is literally like the holy Grail but even better. Their music is so so good, countless amazing soundtracks that actually keep you focused for long period of time. This app changed my life. If you don't think this app works, I'm sorry you just don't get it. This is like my secret weapon of productivity. I'm not even kidding. I seriously don't know what my future would've been like had I not found brain.FM over two years ago. Ive literally use it every single day for the last two years. Bro, in fact, these people should literally log into my account and double the payment of my subscription because I will happily pay them for the amount of time and output that I have gain from them it's ridiculous. Seriously brain.fm I love you guys so much. If your on the fence, let me put it at this. If you are my competition, be very afriad. Because I have brain.FM, and you don't.

Way over hyped
Read and heard all the marketing hype. I was a little suspicious when I saw only top reviews on some sites and practically all positive comments on YouTube so I took the free trial and was very disappointed. I don't see what all the fuss is about. I didn't experience the purported effects. Hype and marketing leveraged probably off some short term placebo effect.

Thank you for your feedback, Noel.
We're sorry to hear our product didn't meet your expectations during your trial. Everyone's experience is different, and we appreciate you sharing yours.
Our focus music works differently for different people, and finding the right tracks, volume, and settings can make a big difference in effectiveness. We'd love to help you find settings that might work better for your specific needs.
If you're open to it, please reach out to our support team at supprt@brain.fm. We'd be happy to offer some personalized recommendations or discuss your experience further.
Thanks again for taking the time to share your thoughts.

Email Spam, can't unsubscribe
I was considering giving it a go but they wanted credit card details a little prematurely ... Big red flag so I didn't continue. Now they spam me with emails (every few days) from which I there is no way to unsubscribe.

Thank you for your feedback, Donna.
We're sorry to hear about your experience with our emails. There should definitely be an unsubscribe link at the bottom of every email we send - we take email compliance very seriously.
If you're having trouble finding the unsubscribe option, please reach out to our team at support@brain.fm and we'll immediately remove you from our mailing list.
We'd also like to offer you a 30-day free trial to properly experience our app without any payment information required. Our team would be happy to set this up for you if you're still interested in giving brain.fm a try.
Again, we apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate you bringing this to our attention.
Free trial with strings
The typical free trial where you have to provide payment details. If your product is so good, give me the trial without strings... I clicked on the how to cancel link, maybe the answer was in there, but in a sea of other stuff. Stand by your product! I didn't bother trying it for the reason above.
Update - After declining, I did get a free trial, they could have offered this first.

Thank you for your feedback about our trial process. We're sorry we missed responding to your review earlier.
We appreciate your perspective on our free trial. While we do require payment details upfront like many subscription services, we understand this can be a barrier for some users. We're glad to hear you eventually received a free trial without payment information after declining.
Your suggestion about offering this option upfront is valuable feedback for our team to consider as we continue improving our onboarding process. We're constantly evaluating how to best balance security measures with a seamless trial experience.
Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts - it helps us become better.
musics works for a while, but not updated, scam subscription policies
musics works, first year may be. than it just stops sort of. they did not updated their music for long period. have to go to youtube.
would be 4 starts, but.
scam subscription policies force overpay.
music was not updated during my time - so why subscription for set of static files?

Thank you for your feedback, Dzmitry.
We're sorry to hear about your experience with our service. I'd like to clarify a couple of important points:
We actually add new music tracks weekly to our library through the "New" section in the app. It seems you might have missed this feature during your subscription period, which is unfortunate as we're constantly expanding our collection.
Regarding our subscription policies, we strive to make them straightforward and fair. If you experienced any issues with billing or felt there was an overpayment, we'd be happy to look into this for you specifically if you reach out to our support team at support@brain.fm.
We appreciate your initial positive impression of our music's effectiveness. If you're open to giving us another try, we'd love to show you the numerous updates and improvements we've made recently.
Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts.
Great range of music and easier to get into flow
It makes me as a copywriter and marketer get into flow and focus much faster. I can type many hours without realizing it. They also give you new sounds and songs every now and then (it shows as "new" next to the song). I really like the range of music and it is not very costly when you subscribe to the yearly option.
Definitely recommend. I realize they might be scummy/scammy during the free subscription, but that doesnt really scare me off. I love the concept and feel like they do their best for their customers :-)

Good product, scummy company
- PRODUCT: The music works well, both for focus and sleeping. Once you listen to it, you sort of get it, it is more than just listening to lo-fi. It has the right speed and amount of complexity for your brain.
The app is a bit slow, but it doesn't really affect the listening.
- COMPANY: Like others have said, they charged me for a year without a reminder. They explicitly say during sign-up not to worry about entering your card details, because they will remind you before your trial ends. And they don't do it. I was actually going to subscribe, but that scares me away. They have refunded me right away after requesting it, but to me that just means they didn't manage to trick me.
If you search for them on reddit, you can also clearly see that they have bots shilling for them. ChatGPT accounts whose only purpose is to praise BrainFM.
These are scummy company decisions for what would otherwise be a good product.

No renewal reminders sent
No renewal reminders sent. Support refuse to refund even after a few minutes of unpredicted renewal. Really bad experience with customer service. Hopefully my $50 won't make them happy.

Be careful: Scammy renewal policy
Be careful, and cancel auto renewal on the first day of your plan. Brain.fm are renewing plans without sending a mere reminder before (which is yet a broadly enforced market practice in the industry). And then, they refuse to cancel accidental renewals.
That’s the exact definition of a scam.
