The premium plan should cover everything, and there should be no additional extra add-ons you have to buy that support the purpose of the site. I will see how it works.

Request and have access to results of all background checks

I selected the promotional offer for the discounted 1yr membership, and I was somehow charged $155.40. That is NOT WHAT I SELECTED. The fine print said the $155.40 would be charged at my 1yr marker!?!? I want to be refunded.

Many profiles to pick from, people started to respond immediately
Hi Joe, We appreciate the great review, thanks! I will be sure to share your valued feedback with our product team.
Constant prompting to upgrade doesn't really make a friendly free service. And the constant service adds shifts the focus from helping to revenue grab (it can be both). But I need this helpso willing to pay.
Hi Elaine, We are a paid subscription service and not a free service. I'm sorry if you thought otherwise and therefore felt mislead. That was never our intention. Many sites like ours charge a fee in order to be able to offer you the features our site offers. Otherwise we'd just be like any other free classified site with very little to offer.
Just joined as a new member. Will possibly have better rating once I begin the selection of a caregiver for my elderly parent.
Hello Tanya, Thank you for the 4 star review.
No help just a charge to join. Then they want to automatically renew and I can't figure how to stop this sign up. No way to reach anyone and I want nothing more to do with this company.

This service is way overpriced, and they shouldn't automatically sign you up for recurring payments.

I'm trying to sign up to see cleaners and you tried to upsell me about 10 times before I actually get to see the cleaners. Streamline your process a little better as that is really unprofessional and obnoxious.

I'm sure you are aware of the deception in this process. You imply that services will be available with a premium membership. Once subscribed, those services are yet an additional cost.
