2026 Trustpilot reviews describe refunds refused after a credit was used, charges after cancelling, and paid upgrades that would not install. CyberLink's policy confirms that using any credit in an order makes the whole order non-refundable, and App Store purchases can only be refunded by Apple.
Buyers who started on the free Essential edition report the watermark still appears after subscribing or buying a license. CyberLink's FAQ explains that Essential must sign in with the purchase email to upgrade, and perpetual buyers must download a separate installer; videos produced earlier keep the watermark.
PowerDirector 365 includes 100 AI credits per month and the perpetual 2027 edition only 500 one-time credits valid for a year. Reviewers complain that generative AI features burn credits quickly and the results don't always justify buying more.
The free mobile app stamps a PowerDirector logo in the lower-right corner, caps export at 1080p, locks auto captions, enhancer and some effects, and shows ads. The 7-day trial converts to a yearly charge unless cancelled.
The annual plan is almost always advertised on sale ($59.99 vs a $79.99 list price), but users report renewals charged at full price. App Store terms also say an active subscription can't be cancelled mid-period, only stopped from renewing.
