This is hands-down the best tool I've used for video scripts and social carousels. I'd had it on my radar for a while — a lot of the bigger creators I follow have been on Poppy for years. The second I saw it on AppSumo, I grabbed it. I've since upgraded to Tier 4 so my wife can use it too.

The scripts are excellent. The carousels are 10x better than anything I'd make myself — and they'd take me hours to build. No complaints on quality.

But the credit consumption is way, way off.

In the onboarding workflow, I told it what I wanted to create, pasted a channel URL for style, and described what I offer. Then I generated 2 short video scripts and 4 LinkedIn carousels. No videos to analyze. No long notes to digest. Nothing heavy.

That cost 488 credits.

For context: the demo video from the Poppy team showed someone analyze 10 YouTube videos and produce 5 scripts — for about 30 credits. I analyzed zero videos, made fewer assets, and burned nearly 500. I'm positive I'm the one that's missing something here so hopefully they can help me figure it out.

At that rate, Tier 4's 3,000 credits gets me ~6 scripts and ~12 carousels a month. That can't be right.

I've reached out to support twice, but the AI chat couldn't explain it — and I didn't want to sit waiting on a chat, so I let it go. I'd really like a straight answer on what's going on here.

Everything else is fantastic. But if this is the actual rate and not a bug, anything below Tier 4 is unusable — and even Tier 4 runs tight.
