The honest half
Where it falls short
Concrete and checkable, so you can decide whether any of them matter to you. This is the half of a review a vendor will not write about Raya.
- Access requires submitting an application that is queued and reviewed, and an applicant can remain waitlisted indefinitely
- Full functionality of the service is only available while a paid membership is active
- Memberships are sold only as 1, 6 or 12 month auto-renewing terms
- Auto-renewals are charged within 24 hours before the end of the period
- Cancelling a subscription only takes effect at the end of the current period, with no mid-term exit
- Accounts can be suspended or terminated for conduct judged not to reflect the community guidelines
- The iOS app requires iOS 17.0 or later

Softwr does not host reviews and shows no star rating for Raya, because a rating we did not collect is not ours to publish. What is here is the pricing and platform detail from the vendor’s own pages, limitations we could state concretely, and alternatives a reviewer confirmed people weigh against it.
