Our automated security review flags popvid.ai as dangerous. Multiple threat indicators were detected — treat the site as a scam until proven otherwise.

Is popvid.ai safe to use?

No — popvid.ai scored 1/100 on our trust scale. We detected active threat indicators, so we recommend avoiding the site entirely.

Does popvid.ai have a valid SSL certificate?

Yes. popvid.ai presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Google Trust Services · WR3, expiring in 39 days. Note that SSL only encrypts the connection — it does not guarantee that the site itself is trustworthy.

Has popvid.ai been flagged by antivirus engines?

4 out of 92 antivirus engines in our malware network flagged popvid.ai as malicious or suspicious (3 outright malicious). Even one detection is a meaningful signal.

Is popvid.ai on any phishing or malware blacklists?

No. popvid.ai is not currently listed on the major browser blocklist feeds that modern browsers use.

Where is popvid.ai hosted?

popvid.ai resolves to an IP operated by Google LLC in US (usage type: Content Delivery Network). Hosting location alone doesn't make a site good or bad, but unusual geography for a brand's claimed country is one of many signals we weigh.

How often is the popvid.ai report updated?

This is a permanent record of the scan run on June 20, 2026. The verdict and evidence above reflect that scan and do not change on their own. If circumstances around popvid.ai have changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan, which re-runs every check from scratch and publishes an updated report.

Confidence

Our analysis shows a mix of legitimate service features and significant risk signals. Three antivirus engines, including Fortinet and ADMINUSLabs, have flagged the site for phishing or malicious activity. While the site features a professional design and an active social media presence, independent research uncovered multiple user complaints regarding the paid subscription model. Users report being charged without receiving the promised features, which aligns with a 'subscription trap' pattern. The domain is also relatively young, having been registered only five months ago, which increases the risk profile for a service handling recurring payments.

Full dossier

Analysis complete

Page Content

The website presents a high-quality landing page for an AI-driven video platform, offering 'Roleplay Stories' and 'Twist Videos.' It includes standard navigation and social media links but notably lacks direct contact information like a phone number or physical address.

Infrastructure

The site is hosted on a reputable IP range with no history of abuse reports. It uses a valid SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services. However, the technical setup triggered multiple detections from our antivirus partners, specifically for phishing and suspicious behavior.

Domain History

The domain was registered in early 2026 and uses a privacy service to hide the owner's identity. While common, this combined with the site's young age (5 months) means it hasn't yet established a long-term reputation.

Web Reputation

Public sentiment is divided. While some creative tool reviews describe it as a legitimate utility, consumer feedback on mobile app platforms is heavily focused on billing failures and 'scam' accusations regarding the pro-tier features.

Risk Factors

Flagged as phishing by Fortinet and malicious by ADMINUSLabs and alphaMountain.ai.
Multiple user reports of paid subscriptions failing to unlock advertised features.
Domain is only 5 months old, lacking a long-term trust history.
No physical business address or direct contact phone number provided on the site.
Gridinsoft security analysis gives the site a low trust score of 35/100.

Positive Signals

Professional website design with functional interactive demos.
Active social media presence and a significant YouTube following.
Valid SSL certificate and clean hosting IP reputation.

AI Recommendation

Avoid entering credit card details or signing up for 'Pro' subscriptions until the billing issues are resolved. If you choose to use the service, stick to the free tier and use a unique password.
