FOMO What started as a promising subscription turned into a massive disappointment when, out of the blue, we were downgraded to a free plan back in March without any notification or explanation. This left us with a barely functional app, operational only on the first of April and May—talk about an April Fool’s joke, but nobody’s laughing.
To add insult to injury, the cost of the pro plan has skyrocketed to an eye-watering $499 per month. It’s baffling since their operational costs for notifications surely haven’t spiked to justify such a steep increase. Sadly, it’s no longer feasible or rational to continue our subscription. A real letdown from a service I once valued.
We appreciate your feedback and look forward to discussing a tailored solution for your business in the next few days.
These guys are great! Elias went above and beyond to assist me with my needs, and I will continue to refer friends and family.
Thank you for the kind words! and taking the time for a great feedback!
We chose a free plan as we think the quota is enough. Then we found out we have been charged 189USD, 149USD,89USD for a couple of times. We then checked further and found this "Smart" FOMO serectly "upgraded" our plan (more expensive one). They set an option (in a very hidden place) saying: Auto Upgrade Plan enable. Obviously we didnt know we have to "disable" it, and thats why they leave it" enable" and automatically upgraded our plan.
I doubt is is a scam, because we don't have that great traffic for the past few months, and they said it showed x amount of notification so charge us more (they said we have 30k notification which we don't believe it)
Now this FOMO app chardge us around 1000USD and we barely have any sales.
AVOID FOMO!
Hello - thank you for taking the time to share your experience with Fomo, even though it was not a positive one.
I want to assure you that the traffic and impression numbers you see on Fomo are accurate.
In response to users who would reach out to support when notifications stopped appearing when they were over their plan limit,mwe introduced the Automatic Upgrade feature. When the automatic upgrade takes place, the higher plan tier is pro-rated for the time remaining in the billing period.
I am happy to see that you do have sales conversions from Fomo notifications. I am sorry you were disappointed with our billing model.
Wishing you all the best with your store and it's beautiful jewellery.
My favorite app on Shopify! The UI design is incredible!! Customer service is also great. Can‘t wait to use it :)
Thanks for taking the time and for the great feedback!
Janice took care of me and we shared a giggle - these guys are the best - more than enough functionality - ease of set-up is amazing - flexibility to upgrade/ downgrade as well (unlike other apps!). Using FOMO in all our, and friends', stores!
Thanks for the fantastic review! I'm so glad you love Fomo as much as I do. Happy to help anytime.
I think it all looks good and it seems like you can customize a lot. But I take issue in it immediately pumping out notifications and no clear way how to turn them off. I uninstalled - also because I think the pricing is insane. It racked up thousands of impressions within 30 minutes or so and we are by no means a "huge" site.
Hello - thanks for your feedback about Fomo. I'm sorry to hear it wasn't the right tool for you. For any users considering Fomo, notifications are easy to turn off using the toggle above each notification in the Admin under Notifications.
Fomo does come with the Active Visitors and Someone is Viewing notifications turned on on default so you can see notifications right away.
Our pricing reflects the value users get in increased conversions - Fomo pays for itself after just a few transactions.
I wish you all the best, Awesome Maps - love your product!
Although I've used this app for over 4 years, when I needed extra help, Rebecca and Hideko helped me out in a very patient and efficient way :)
Thank you so much for the kind words! :) We're so glad we were able to help you with your customization!
I have used FOMO for 3 years without issue. My only concern is my developer and speed test sho it ads .5 seconds to the load stack. The second most app after reviews on load time
Hey Scent Fill team,
I've emailed you but also wanted to follow up here. Fomo loads asynchronously to the rest of your page and does not slow down your site - more on that here: https://help.fomo.com/en/articles/1455008-will-fomo-slow-down-my-website
Happy to walk your developer through this. I've also sent you screenshots of the different assets loading on your page to show you a comparison so you can see what is taking longer to load on your site.
We've only been using the app for a short time but already can see its potential. I love the dashboard which gives an overview of everything and I like how the app highlights products other customers may have overlooked and offers social proof through their purchase. We're excited to try out the new features the team seem to be continually adding on!
Loving the popup, not only giving social proof but also presenting bestselling products all the time
