STAY CLEAR - I would say stay away from this company if you would like customer support. They don’t provide anything but empty promises and ongoing stress. The only lady that has been helpful was the one that set it up but apart from that it’s terrible. They charge you for a subscription you can’t even access and when you ask for a refund they say well it’s because there was still emails getting sent out you still have to pay. ( what a joke because I couldn’t even get access to the account ) went to my bank and forced the refund on Omnisend as it wasn’t suppling the full goods or service I was paying for. And now the stupid company won’t disconnect from my website and keep sending me emails saying I need to pay money for sms credits but they confirm my account has been cancelled and closed off? But no it hasn’t as if I go on my website the automations are still running, but now I’m not paying so what a nightmare. Sort your workflow and customer accounts out as I don’t want to be associated with omnisend anymore. Remove my details and unlink from my website. Enough is enough!!!
Hello there,
Hello,
I’m truly sorry to hear about the challenges you’ve faced and the frustration it’s caused. We understand how important it is for our customers to have a smooth experience.
I want to assure you that a senior representative reached out to you previously to confirm the account deletion and provided details about the charges. Additionally, the refund you requested was processed 21 days ago.
If you’re still encountering issues or have further concerns, please review the email from our senior agent. Your feedback is important to us, and we’re here to help resolve any remaining issues.
Thank you for your understanding and patience.
Their customer service is really bad, it takes forever for them to answer and even when they do, most of the time it's not clear what they're saying and they always send you to read articles instead of actually wanting to help.
and also they chraged me for 10$ idk why, cus im on the free plan!!
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We genuinely appreciate it and are sorry to hear about your experience.
Regarding your concerns about customer service, we understand the frustration you've faced, particularly with the shipping confirmation challenge. Since we do not have an integration with the third-party app you’re using, we suggested two potential solutions that require a better understanding of certain aspects. The articles we provided contain screenshots and detailed explanations to help clarify these solutions. If you have any follow-up questions, please feel free to ask. Our senior support specialist is currently handling your conversation to ensure you receive the best possible assistance.
As for the $10 charge, we want to clarify that while you are on a free plan, you also have an active SMS credits subscription for $10 per month. This charge is related to that subscription. If you no longer need it, you can cancel it directly in your store settings. Should you require additional instructions or if you would like us to cancel it for you, please let our senior support specialist know, and we’ll handle it promptly.
We’ve also sent a separate email, as it seems you may have missed several in-app messages we've sent that clarify your recent concerns.
Thank you again for your feedback, and we’re here to help!
This app was good, untill they started deceiving their customers.
At first, the payment was based on how many emails and sms messages can you send, now they are doing some tricky way to take money from you, and they are charging on the amount of subscribers you have.
We have just 600 active subscribers, and they are charging us like we have 3000 +.
HIGHLY AVOID THIS APP!!!
Hello there,
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We apologize for any confusion and frustration you’ve experienced regarding our pricing structure.
Our billing system is designed to be transparent and fair, charging based on the number of subscribers and non-subscribers in your audience.
A senior agent has already reached out to address your concerns and provide clarification. Please respond to their email so we can assist you further and resolve any issues.
We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to improve your experience with our service.
trash app, i will be switching to klavyio or something else. I currently have this for 3 stores but today was the breaking point. They always require some type of domain email verification and their support is garbage. Claim to reply in under 10 minutes but don't. DO NOT OVER PAY FOR THIS email provider, they are terrible.
Hello there,
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We sincerely apologize for the frustration and inconvenience you’ve experienced with our service. We understand how critical timely support and reliable functionality are for your business.
The domain verification issue you’re encountering is related to having multiple SPF records on your end. To resolve this, please merge the records into one and delete the extras, as our agents have advised. A senior agent has already reached out to you to address your request and provide further assistance.
We strive to respond as quickly as possible and regret that we did not meet your expectations in this instance. We are committed to resolving this matter and improving your experience with our service. If you need any additional help, please respond to the email from our senior agent.
Thank you for your understanding and patience.
"In four months, the monthly fee increased from 20 USD to 100 USD. Why are the charges getting higher and higher? No detailed fee breakdown has been provided, nor has any explanation been given as to why the charges keep increasing.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We understand your concerns, and I want to let you know that our senior customer support specialist has already reached out to you via email with a detailed breakdown of your charges and an explanation of the pricing increase.
To provide a more general overview, our billing system works based on the size of your audience. Each billing cycle, we calculate the number of subscribers and non-subscribers you have, which places you in a specific pricing tier. As your contact list grows, this requires more email credits, which is reflected in your subscription cost.
It’s actually a good sign for your business that your contact base has increased, but we understand that rising costs can be concerning. If you’d like to reduce your fee, we recommend cleaning your list by removing inactive or old contacts who aren’t engaging with your emails. Segmenting your audience can help lower costs, and you can follow these instructions to do so: https://support.omnisend.com/en/articles/1061868-segmenting-inactive-contacts.
We hope this helps clarify the situation, and if you have any further questions, feel free to reply to the email we've sent to you. We will be happy to further clarify any concerns you might have. We’re here to help ensure that you’re getting the best value from our service.
UPDATE: No resolution has been reached, and the only pricing you offer is for the quantity of emails and messages sent. Very nice smoke and mirrors response.
Omnisend keeps increasing the price of our subscription, hoping we won't notice. Since we don't send out emails monthly, they now charge us $25 a month for sending zero emails. Additionally, we currently don't use their services; we just maintain our subscription to collect emails.
Additionally, we placed a hold on the card we were using until we could contact Omnisend. However, we were required to pay our invoice before being able to contact support. This is extremely poor service and reflects the platform's prioritization of greed over customer care.
Good day, Brian!

Hello there,
Thank you for your feedback. We apologize for any frustration and confusion caused by our billing system.
To clarify, our billing system calculates the number of subscribers and non-subscribers in your audience each billing cycle, which determines your price tier. As your audience size has increased, the subscription cost has also increased accordingly.
Your account remains active with Omnisend, which is why you continue to incur charges. If you no longer wish to be billed, please ensure you cancel your subscription.
A senior representative has reached out to you to discuss this matter in detail and assist you with any further questions or concerns. Please respond to their email at your earliest convenience.
We appreciate your understanding and are committed to improving your experience with our service.
I recently downloaded this app for my Shopify website Email Marketing. I have been requesting a demo of the app with no response. I sent several emails asking for help setting up the app no response.
I am now thinking of deleting the app and finding an email marketing app with better access to support. if anyone has any suggestions please feel free to let me know thanks.
Hello there,
Thank you for sharing your experience, and I'm sorry to hear about the difficulties you've encountered in accessing support. I understand how important it is to feel supported as you set up your email marketing tools.
We do not offer a demo period; however, we provide a comprehensive free plan that allows you to explore all the features of Omnisend without any time limit. With our Free plan, you can send up to 500 emails to 250 contacts, utilize Automation features, send 60 international SMS messages (one-time usage), and use 500 push notifications per month. This plan also includes access to third-party app integrations, unlimited segmentations, signup forms, and user seats in your account—no credit card required.
For a detailed overview of what each subscription plan offers, please visit this link: https://www.omnisend.com/pricing/.
A senior representative has reached out to provide detailed guidance on setting up and making the most of these features. Please check your emails for further instructions, and do not hesitate to respond for more personalized support.
We're here to ensure you have all the tools and assistance you need to succeed with Omnisend. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
This is a scam company with fake pricing, and the monthly package fees will increase by themselves.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us.
After investigating the issue, we noticed that you currently don’t have any active plans under your account, though it’s possible that one of your other brands may have an active subscription. We’ve reviewed the following stores: Ctronics, de.ctronics, uk.ctronics, and fr.xega - where reviews were posted, but we couldn’t locate the specific charge mentioned.
We’d like to better understand which pricing you are referring to, as we haven’t been able to identify such a change. Our senior support specialist has reached out to you directly to help identify which store has experienced the price increase and to locate the conversation where you requested a refund, as we were unable to find any record of it.
We want to reassure you that our pricing structure is fully transparent and adjusts based on the number of billable contacts in your account. As the number of contacts increases, the monthly fee adjusts accordingly. On the other hand, if the number of billable contacts decreases, so does the pricing. This flexibility ensures that the cost is directly aligned with your needs and the resources required.
We look forward to your reply and are committed to resolving this as soon as possible. Our customer support team is ready to assist you further and clarify the situation.
After using this plugin, the package price was secretly increased without any notice, from 20 USD to 88 USD at the highest. There was no reminder when subscribing, and no refund after I questioned it. This is totally unreasonable, this is a scam company!!!

They are taking advantage of customers. Despite preventing me from sending SMS, they refuse to refund my money. In 2024, paying for email sends is outdated when other services offer unlimited emails with their plans. They won't let me use SMS but won't return my funds either. Diego behaves like a con artist. Initially, when I asked for a refund, he ignored my messages over several days. Later, when I tried sending an SMS out of frustration, he claimed I forfeited my refund eligibility for attempting to use the service. This platform isn't user-friendly; you can't buy SMS credits as needed but must subscribe upfront. If you want to add credits for a specific message, you have to contact their team via chat and wait 4-8 hours for them to charge your card manually. Despite sending an SMS to 21,000 contacts, not one person visited the website, suggesting the message didn't go through. Plus, they don't provide a dedicated toll-free number; instead, they share one with other businesses, leading to confusion among customers receiving messages from multiple sources. Overall, Omnisend is utterly disappointing. Try Postscript instead.
Hello there,
Thank you for your detailed feedback. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience you've experienced.
The situation arose due to a high volume of SMS messages sent after a long period of inactivity, resulting in a significant unsubscribe rate. Specifically, more than 48,000 SMS messages were sent in 5 days, which goes against the best practices of SMS marketing and the reasonable frequency principle advised by TCPA. Additionally, the TCPA mandates that telemarketing calls, including SMS marketing messages, must not be made to residential telephone subscribers before 8 AM or after 9 PM (local time of the recipient). While we have this setting enabled by default in Omnisend, it was manually disabled on your end.
Unfortunately, due to this usage, it is not possible to proceed with a refund.
We encourage you to follow best practices for SMS marketing to ensure optimal results and compliance. Our team is here to help you navigate these guidelines and improve your campaign effectiveness, in the future.
A senior representative has contacted you to address the situation in detail. Please respond to their email at your earliest convenience. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we work towards a satisfactory resolution.
