Reviewers split sharply: praise for how easy it is to make AI films and for fast support, one-star reviews about credits draining, censorship and billing:
Read on OpenArt's public Trustpilot page on 11 November 2026; 1,551 of the 1,746 reviews were posted in the past 12 months. We show Trustpilot only because we could not open a current G2 star breakdown to verify it.
