Magic, as advertised!
I use Alt Text Magic on my e-commerce website. I'm uploading a mix of photos for product pages, blog posts, marketing content, etc. I appreciate that any image I upload is automatically given Alt text! Most of the time the generated text is pretty accurate, though I typically tweak it a little because I want to describe my products (framed artwork) in a specific way. Still, it's much faster and easier to tweak existing content than it is to write the full description myself! I've upgraded to the professional plan at $5/mo so that when I have large batches of product photos to add I don't run out of credits mid-stream, though there's also a way to check your library and add alt text to any images that are missing it, as well as a log of recent alt text generated and which images it was added to. They've thought of everything! Leave no alt text blank!

Works as advertised
I really enjoy the plugin. It worked just as advertised. I do wish there was more functionality to add an SEO keyword in or give it a length guideline. For example it might say "laptop with blue text stating 'X'" but it doesn't have any context to it if it was a decorative piece or any connection to the SEO keyword of the article. Overall, still impressed

Very expensive for a very little functionality
The pricing model for this plugin is absurd. Perhaps makes sense for large agencies with money to burn but the credits for this simple task costs more than the credits for advanced cloud caching tools, image cdns, even many cloud based hosting companies. Perhaps worth it at bulk prices, but certainly not on the smaller end.

Awesome and simple
Works as advertised. This saves my agency a lot of time when uploading a lot of images.
