Wellows is a real Dubai-operated AI-visibility SaaS, but its free trial feeds auto-renewing billing that several users say they could not cancel
wellows.com sells a subscription tool that tracks how often a brand is cited by MT Intelligence, Gemini, Perplexity and AI Overviews, and the site is run by a named UAE company, WEBAFFINITI-FZCO, with a domain-matched support address, a phone number and social profiles. Nothing technical is wrong with the site: no threat warning, a valid encrypted connection and a clean hosting reputation. The risk sits in the money flow. The homepage pushes a 'Start Free Trial' button, the terms state that subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled before the renewal date, and independent forum and review-site posts describe being charged after a trial and hitting a cancellation interface that errored or did not exist. That combination of a disclosed auto-renew funnel plus repeated third-party accounts of failed cancellation puts the site in the moderate-risk band rather than the safe one.

The score combines saved evidence strength and analysis quality. Coverage is reported separately.
Why 58/100
Moderate Risk covers scores 45–69. 5 findings pulled the score down; 5 pushed it up.
What pulled the score down
- StrongA low-entry offer is tied to recurring billing and a cancellation/disclosure obstacle in its legal terms.
- Moderate2 independent sources carry complaints or warnings about this site, including: "Be careful with this company as there is non existent page from where you can manage your subription and cancel it etc, they will charge your credit card at…"
- Moderate2 independent sources carry complaints or warnings about this site, including: "I purchased a trial of this program under the impression that it was a one-time trial, but I was charged for the following month without any prior…"
- ModerateThe terms cap total liability at three months of fees and exclude indirect and consequential damages.
- MinorThe site's own terms state subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled before the renewal date, and the homepage leads with a 'Start Free Trial' button.
What pushed the score up
- SupportsThe terms name WEBAFFINITI-FZCO, a UAE entity with a Dubai principal office, rather than leaving ownership anonymous.
- SupportsSupport uses a domain-matched email, a published +971 phone number and six social profiles.
- SupportsNo Safe Browsing warning, a valid encrypted connection and a hosting IP with zero abuse reports; these show absence of technical detections only.
- SupportsThe registrable domain is about 1,699 days old, inconsistent with a disposable shell site.
- SupportsThe site publishes named monthly plans such as 'Wellows Basic ... $29 /month' instead of hiding cost behind a sales call.
No points per finding are stored for this report: our analysis weighed all findings together to set the score. Each finding shows its saved severity instead (Decisive, Strong, Moderate or Minor).
01 · Investigation Brief
Investigation Brief
wellows.com sells a subscription tool that tracks how often a brand is cited by MT Intelligence, Gemini, Perplexity and AI Overviews, and the site is run by a named UAE company, WEBAFFINITI-FZCO, with a domain-matched support address, a phone number and social profiles. Nothing technical is wrong with the site: no threat warning, a valid encrypted connection and a clean hosting reputation. The risk sits in the money flow. The homepage pushes a 'Start Free Trial' button, the terms state that subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled before the renewal date, and independent forum and review-site posts describe being charged after a trial and hitting a cancellation interface that errored or did not exist. That combination of a disclosed auto-renew funnel plus repeated third-party accounts of failed cancellation puts the site in the moderate-risk band rather than the safe one.
A free trial that rolls into recurring charges
The homepage hero offers two paths: 'Book a demo' and a blue 'Start Free Trial' button, with Pricing in the navigation. The pricing page lists concrete monthly plans, for example 'Wellows Basic ... $29 /month', so the cost is not hidden behind a sales call.
The terms carry a 'Payment Terms & Subscription Fees' section and state plainly that 'Subscriptions automatically renew unless canceled before the renewal date', with cancellation handled through account settings. That is a disclosed auto-renew model, not a concealed one, but it means a trial entry point converts into an ongoing card charge unless the visitor actively stops it.
The terms also limit the company's total liability to the fees paid in the three months before a claim and exclude indirect or consequential losses, which narrows what a dissatisfied subscriber could recover.
Users describe charges after cancelling
A WordPress.org support forum post warns that there is 'non existent page from where you can manage your subription and cancel it' and that the card was charged at the end of the billing period without further notice.
A second forum post says the cancellation interface 'was not working' and returned errors, and that the payment went through the next day. A reviewer profile on Trustindex describes buying what they understood to be a one-time trial, cancelling two days before the charge, and still being billed for the following month.
These are third-party accounts rather than anything the site itself confirms, and the forum excerpts do not quote the brand name directly, so the link to this specific product rests on the search context. Read together with the site's own auto-renew language, they describe a consistent pattern worth knowing before entering card details.
Clean technical checks, identifiable operator
The browser threat feed returned no threat warning, the saved TLS check found a valid encrypted connection, and the hosting IP carries an abuse confidence score of 0/100 across zero saved reports. The domain has been registered for roughly 1,699 days, which does not fit a throwaway storefront.
Ownership is disclosed: the terms name WEBAFFINITI-FZCO, a UAE entity with a principal office in Silicon Oasis, Dubai. Support runs on the site's own domain (support@wellows.com), a +971 phone number is published, and six social profiles are linked, including LinkedIn and YouTube.
The commercial links stay on the operator's own properties: Pricing and the sample report resolve to wellows.com and app.wellows.com, and the only off-site call to action is a 'Save your spot' banner pointing to a third-party event platform for a live session, which is marketing rather than a payment path. The dashboard shown on the homepage is labelled 'Illustrative data' with fictional competitor brands, so those figures are a mock-up, not live results.
Why the score is 58
A low-entry offer is tied to recurring billing and a cancellation/disclosure obstacle in its legal terms.
