Brad Browning review: the videos, The Ex Factor Guide, and the marketing
Search “brad browning reviews” or “the ex factor guide review” and nearly everything that comes up was written by someone earning a 75% commission if you buy. This page pays me nothing. I compete with the man instead, which you deserve to know before reading a word of it. Here’s what holds up in his work and what doesn’t.
Watch his free videos, they’re the best of him. If $47 fits your budget, the refund is real. Just read the sales page the way you’d read a used-car ad.
Who Brad Browning is
Brad Browning is a Canadian breakup and divorce coach. The branding says Vancouver; the business address on his site is in Victoria, BC, under his company LoveLearnings Media. He has a Bachelor of Arts in psychology from the University of British Columbia, and his YouTube channel (@breakupbradbrowning) has been running since 2012. His channel description says he’s helped more than 130,000 people. There’s no way to check that number, so I won’t treat it as a fact, and neither should you.
One thing I want to correct from the rumor mill: he has not gone quiet. When I checked his channel feed in August 2026 he’d posted 15 videos in the previous five weeks. The business is fully alive.
The free stuff is the best of him
Credit where it’s due. Six hundred videos over fourteen years is a body of work, and the advice in his titles and articles is mostly standard, sane breakup coaching: stop chasing, work on yourself, let absence do some of the talking. Lately he’s deep in avoidant-attachment content because that’s what the algorithm wants, but the core material is reasonable. If you’re deciding whether to trust him, watch ten of his videos before you spend a dollar. Most of what he sells is in there somewhere, free.
The Ex Factor Guide: what $47 buys
His flagship is The Ex Factor Guide: an ebook plus an audiobook, video lessons, and two bonus manuals. It’s sold as two mirrored versions, one for getting a girlfriend back and one for a boyfriend, behind a gender gate. The price is $47, presented as marked down from $129. I have not bought it, so I can’t review the chapters, and anyone reviewing “the material” without buying it is making it up. What I can review is how it’s sold, because that part is public.
Two things in its favor. The price really is low for this market (I charge $499 for a single session, and I’m mid-range; here’s the whole market’s pricing). And the 60-day money-back guarantee runs through ClickBank, which processes the refund whether or not the vendor feels like it. That’s a real consumer protection, not a promise.
One thing not in its favor: his own affiliate documentation describes a checkout with two $9.95 order bumpsand four upsells running as high as $97 a month. The $47 headline is the door, not the building.
Where he loses me
The sales page tells you research has proven “more than 90% of all relationships can be salvaged.” No study is named, because no such study exists. It promises your ex will be “literally banging on your door.” The Mend the Marriage page runs a countdown timer warning the video expires soon; it’s an evergreen countdown, and the page never expires. His coaching page shows 3 of 30 slots remaining. These are pressure tools aimed at people at their lowest, and I hold that against any coach, including the ones I like.
I’ll say the quiet part as a competitor and as a coach: nobody can promise you a percentage on another human being’s decision. When you see one, you’re reading copywriting, not coaching.
The rest of the catalog
Mend the Marriage is $49.95 for a 270-page ebook, a four-hour audio course, and a seven-part video series, same twin-funnel structure, same 60-day ClickBank refund, plus the countdown timer. There’s also Beat the Breakup, and one-to-one coaching that is email only: $147 a month, replies within 72 hours, no refunds. Email coaching at that price undercuts almost everyone, but know what you’re buying: a pen pal with a three-day clock, not someone in the trenches with you on a bad night.
About every other “review” of him
This is the part I most want you to take with you. Browning’s affiliate program pays 75% commission and ships pre-written article templates, email scripts, and presell pages. The result: the “reviews” that rank are ads wearing a costume. In one search session I found his guide “reviewed” on a dementia-care website, a teen-dating-abuse nonprofit’s domain, fake Goodreads book listings, and a paid press release. I found zero reviews from anyone without a commission link. Whatever you make of my bias, it’s disclosed, it’s the top of this page, and I earn nothing if you buy or don’t.
Should you buy it?
If your budget is $47 and you want structure instead of scattered videos, it’s a defensible buy: watch his free content first, buy the base guide only, skip every checkbox at checkout, and put the refund deadline in your calendar. If what you actually need is a person who knows your situation and answers you, that’s coaching, his costs $147 a month by email and mine costs more and works differently. And if you’re deciding whether anyone should get your money at all, start with whether a breakup coach is worth it, where the honest answer is “not for everyone.”
Is Brad Browning legit?
He’s a real coach with a real business. His YouTube channel has run since 2012, has roughly 600 videos and over 600,000 subscribers, and he was still uploading two to three times a week when I checked in August 2026. He has a psychology degree from UBC, and his products refund through ClickBank, which honors the 60-day guarantee whether or not the seller wants to. The business is legitimate. The marketing is where I have a problem, and the rest of this page covers that.
Is The Ex Factor Guide worth $47?
Maybe. It’s an ebook plus audio and video lessons, it costs less than one session with almost any coach alive, and the 60-day refund is real. I haven’t bought it, so I can’t grade the material itself. I can tell you the free YouTube videos cover most of his thinking, so watch ten of those first. If you still want the structure of a written program, $47 with a working refund is a small bet.
Does the "90% of relationships can be salvaged" claim hold up?
No. The sales page says research has proven that more than 90% of all relationships can be salvaged, and cites nothing. I coach breakups for a living and I’ll tell you what every honest coach knows: nobody has that number, because nobody can run that study. Your ex is a person, not a statistic. When a sales page quotes a success rate with no source, that line is there to close the sale.
What does Brad Browning’s coaching cost?
His one-to-one coaching is email only: $147 a month, unlimited emails, replies within 72 hours, no refunds. That’s a different product from live coaching. If waiting up to three days for a written reply works for your situation, it’s cheap. If you’re mid-crisis at 11pm, it isn’t coaching in the way most people mean the word.
Why do all the other Brad Browning reviews sound like ads?
Because most of them are. His affiliate program pays 75% commission on every sale and hands affiliates pre-written article templates and email scripts. The "reviews" that rank are written from those templates by people paid on your click. I found his guide reviewed on a dementia-care website and a teen-dating-abuse nonprofit’s domain. This page carries no affiliate links, and I’m a competitor, which I say at the top instead of hiding it.
