This may be the second Braces site we've seen since we starting reviewing sites, suffice to say, a site like this is far and few between. HotBraces.com also covers the teen niche and currently offers 50+ image galleries but only 5+ videos. Be forewarned, joining the trial membership may seem like a good deal, but recurring monthly charges can come in as high as $36.26 per month. On the flip side, a simple recurring monthly membership is offered at a lower $9.95. This seems like a tricky site already and we're not even inside yet! On the bright side, and additional 5+ sites are included with your membership here.
The Good:
- Themed niche content. Young girls with braces are what you'll find at this simple content site; 16+ models in a number of image galleries, and about 5+ videos. This seems like random content pulled from (and advertising other sites), but at least it's here and you do get to look at it.
- Additional site access offers users 5 more sites to check out. The monthly membership price tag isn't so bad either, but for the amount of content on this site alone, I think that's about all they could get away with charging.
The Bad:
- Poor quality content. Images are tiny and the videos stream anywhere from 200k-500k. Basically, it's not good.
- Non-exclusive content. A lot of these models & content is stuff pulled from other sites. Therefore you also have to weed through a bunch of cross-sales and cross-links to get to see actual content.
- Trial memberships recur at almost $40 bucks per month. Don't forget to cancel people, this is exactly what they're counting on; a cheap buy-in with hugely expensive fees.
- No date stamps on content or clear update schedule. I doubt the site updates at all, actually.
The Conclusion:
I could go on and on with the negatives for this site, but I'd rather jump ahead and finish another review for the day. Basically this site is shit - sorry. Basically you're paying for what used to be found posted all over on free sites. Content source and quality is all over the place, and there really isn't much to see anyway. I'd save your $10 bucks and spend it where it counts. There may not be very many braces themed sites, but there's surely ones better fit to the theme than this.
