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!!!

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.

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.

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.

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 In 2024, paying for email sends is outdated when other services offer unlimited emails with their plans.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.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We apologize for any inconvenience and frustration caused by the suspension of your account.

As communicated by our senior agent, following a detailed audit by our Compliance team, we regretfully had to suspend your account in adherence to our Anti-Spam Policy and Terms of Service. These policies are in place to ensure the safety and security of all our users.

This decision is final, and we are unable to reinstate your account. We understand this may be disappointing and are truly sorry for any disruption this has caused. If you have any further questions or need additional clarification, please feel free to respond to the email from our senior agent.

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We understand the issue you’re facing, and our senior support specialist has reached out via email with more details and suggestions to assist you.

Our system is built to deliver emails directly to the main inbox. However, inbox placement can vary depending on the recipient's settings. For example, in Gmail, emails may land in the Promotions tab if tabs are enabled, or they may be affected by strong spam filters. This is something neither we nor any email marketing platform can fully control.

It's important to note that the Promotions tab is part of the main inbox, not a spam folder, and many users actively engage with it.

We kindly invite you to check the email our senior support specialist sent and feel free to discuss this topic further or raise any concerns you might have. We’re at your disposal and happy to assist!

I had a very bad experience with Omnisend, They stopped providing me service, but did not refund my money
They advertise that their service is unlimited emails, but their definition of unlimited is x60 contacts, which they only note in a very small way on the pricing page.
They present a problem and do not provide a solution, they use too many technical words and do not explain it clearly so that users can handle their problem.
They unilaterally stopped sending emails without giving any prior notice or warning, I want to stop using the service and want a refund because I subscribed to the pro version for 1 month, but They let me use it for 10 days and stopped my service, asking for a refund which they ignored.

Hello there,

Thank you for your feedback. We apologize for the inconvenience and frustration you've experienced. We understand how important reliable service is and regret any disruption this has caused.

Your account was temporarily suspended as a precautionary measure because one of your sender domains was listed on Spamhaus. This listing may be due to a poor sending reputation or potential hijacking by cybercriminals. Omnisend took this step to protect the overall reputation and ensure that the service quality for all our clients remains unaffected.

Our team has reached out to you with detailed steps to follow to get your domain delisted. We kindly ask you to try the suggested solution. If you need further assistance, please do not hesitate to reach back via the initial email.

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we work to resolve this issue and restore your account.

Their automations don't work, and customer support is awful. I sent them a screenshot of their own app (the flow creation section), clear and precise and they said it's not part of their app but a screenshot of Shopify. After sending them the link they admitted it was their app. The customer support haven't even used the app themselves obviously.

Deleted and Installed the app twice, and tested a simple abandoned cart recovery automation multiple times and it doesn't work. Customer support is little to no help. Only a waste of time.

Their email editor is also broken. You have to refresh it every minute because it stops responding and gets stuck. Wasting lots of hours when making an automation flow.

We are moving to a better marketing app. Think twice before spending hours creating automations and flows that won't work.

We had to verify our domains in the app. my developer did that and passed the ownership back to me. For over a week now I try to get back the ownerhip, set up payment and send emails.

The team from omnisend does not only not read the former chat, but still brings me back to the same problems we could not solve from our side.

-I can not add myself in primary store setting with my email as admin, so I can not, pay, ergo no emails in our campaigns for over a week..

I did also send the store ID where we have the problem with, but hey, the log in into the other store (different ID ) and tell me there is no issue.

Best is the question to change my shopify store email so its matching the email I would use in their system as admin or owner!!
Sure.
Customer service is slow, does not solve problems and is not willing to give a discount or any reach out for creating the problems and not following up correctly.

I don´t switch to mailchimp because I have omnisend also on another shop.
Stay away if you are into customer service and fast help and depend on your mailer.
