Best soona UGC (formerly Trend.io) Alternatives

Why look beyond soona UGC (formerly Trend.io)

• Legacy Trend.io credit buyers report credits expiring after 12 months and not being honored after the soona acquisition (Trustpilot)
• Trend.io's own Trustpilot score is poor (2.9/5, 72% 1-star) with complaints about non-existent customer support and creator payout/withdrawal problems
• A media buyer review called the creator pool low-quality and skewed toward skincare-type products, weak for premium goods
