Amazing support. Had an issue and Taylor resolved it in a timely manner. I do see a difference with my traffic when using Negate.

Ok So first I read the bad review like most people to see what was sooo bad about this app. I then read the dev's response, they mentioned to check out their docs, which I read that. After reading the bad review and the docs from the dev's response I decided to still give this app a try.

I am so glad I did. So for anyone not very tech savvy this is what I did and maybe it will help you.

I added this app to my site b/c I was noticing some bot traffic for sure. After I added it I reached out to support and asked if they would kindly take a look at what I had setup to make sure I had it right. Their customer service is amazing. They were very prompt to answer all my questions and we set up a call today to go over everything just to make sure I had a clear understanding of what was actually going on with my site. They listened to my concerns and explained the different types of bots and what they do and the different ways the bots actually damage your site. I looked up some of this info before the call so I was aware of some of it, but they explained it in depth. They were very thorough and how the Negate app works to help protect my site.

The phone call was extremely informative, helpful and friendly. As I mentioned after doing a lot of research on my own before the call and after the call I am very glad I installed this app to protect my site. If you're getting an influx in traffic that you're not sure of you should really consider this app. I highly recommend it.

Negate has been a game changer for our team. The staff here are friendly, and responds nearly 24/7 365. I can tell you that without the Negate team we would be spending a lot more on neg traffic. This team even helped provide custom coding to work around our theme as well as to further aid with the bot traffic volume that we had.

Beware. This app counts/ charges you for everything that interacts with every page on your site and you will get charged for every page a bot visits even though your settings are to bounce the bots from your site.

I had been noticing troubling spikes in traffic (more than a thousand in an hour) once per day for a week or more prior to installing this app and it seems to have solved that somewhat but there is no clear way of even telling this for sure since they are so obtuse with their information.

By their own admission their estimates of money saved are not accurate. I had high hopes for this app but after hitting the "API limit" in about a week of having it and them forcing a financial upgrade to continue having protection, doubling or even tripling the monthly cost, not replying to emails asking for clarification, and taking days to even reply to the help ticket I submitted I have given up and will be uninstalling the app upon submission of this review.

Their reply to my initial help ticket.

Thank you for contacting us.

An API request is counted every time we score a user or bot, this can happen multiple times if a user visits several pages on the website as the score might change due to their behavior. Depending on the plan you are on, you have a specific amount of API requests per month and whenever you get close to exceeding it we notify you that the protection will be paused when the API limit is reached.

The amount of money saved number is an estimate based on the events that we blocked on the different pixels. The numbers we use for events such as AddToCart or Checkout are averages sp they might not correctly reflect your store and could be very different from the actual numbers. We try to provide an estimate but it's difficult to account for specific kind of stores.

Do not hesitate to contact us if you have any more questions.

My reply that went unanswered for more than 11 days.

Good afternoon,

I'm asking because I'm trying to assess the value your app is providing and you haven't really said anything that will help me make that decision.

Correct me if I'm wrong but basically you just told me that the money that you are supposedly saving me is estimated from pixel data (and I don't have any of those connected to my store). Since I don't have any active pixels attached to my store, how is your app coming up with this data?

And I can get charged multiple times for the same bot/ human in the site if they decide to visit multiple pages on my site.

Can you sell me on your app before I remove it from my store?

You decided to reach out to our support team, threatening to leave a bad review unless we gave you a higher traffic limit than what your current plan allowed for. We did not give you a higher limit for free because it’d be unfair to other merchants who pay for our premium services. So here we are with your review which is extremely inaccurate. Below is how our pricing model works.

Negate charges a flat rate per month. It is either $19, $49 or $299 depending on the plan you choose. There are no in between plans, no additional fees, no contracts, and you can cancel at anytime as we bill via Shopify billing. This means as soon as you uninstall the app your subscription stops immediately. If you cancel during your trial, then you are not charged.

When a merchant surpasses their API request limit, they are not automatically charged extra, nor are they automatically bumped to a higher plan. Instead they receive a notification stating that their traffic limit has been reached. If they’d like to upgrade to a higher limit plan they can do so manually from within the app. If they decide not to upgrade, their traffic limit will reset at the start of their next billing cycle and they are not charged anything extra.

For instance, you signed up for the $19 plan. You surpassed your limit. You decided not to upgrade, and you were charged $19 at the end of the month.

The API limit for the $19 plan is 50,000 API requests. An API request is counted anytime a visitor is scored. It means it sent a request to our machine learning model for scoring. Scoring happens on each page since we need to look for things like rotating proxies.

Scenario 1:

A visitor visits 2 pages.

This would total 2 API requests.

Scenario 2:

1 visitor visits 5 pages.

A different visitor visits 1 page.

And another visitor visits 2 pages.

This would total 8 API requests.

Additionally, we use real GPU servers for our scoring, which is reflected in our pricing. If you do not require a premium service, we’d urge you to look into other alternatives.

All of this info can be found on the documentation page of the app.

Wishing you the best of luck in your future endeavors.
