Privy ‑ Pop‑ups, e‑mail e SMS

I had high hopes for this $40 app, but it was a complete disappointment. First, their live chat button didn’t work when I needed help. When I finally got a response from Alex, they suggested hopping on a call—but I’ve done that before, and it was just a sales pitch to get me to upgrade. I asked if this call would actually help solve my issue, but Alex never replied.

The app ended up conflicting with my theme’s coding and ruined a launch—items weren’t showing up in the designated collections! I uninstalled it after just 4 days because it was unusable. I requested a refund, but no one has responded. $40 down the drain for an app I couldn’t even use. Terrible experience.

Hey there!

I really love how strict Privy is with their email policies, ensuring that the recipients are genuine and engaged. The customer support is also outstanding—special thanks to Uri from the team for his swift and helpful responses.

Straight forward to use, fast and capable support, reasonable pricing model for a small bootstrapped business.

I've been using Privy for about a year and a half as my business has gone from $1k to $25k/month and I have no plans of leaving.

The intuitive platform has allowed me to set up email campaigns and more all on my own, and the support (the few times that I've needed it) is always quick, professional, and helpful.

The cost of the app also scales with your size (you pay a bit extra as your contact list grows), which is great when you're just getting started.

Highly recommend Privy!

Privy is a solid emailing app that's fairly easy to navigate, although there are times when I still find myself figuring things out. One of its standout features is the live chat support, along with the option to schedule Zoom meetings for technical assistance, which came in handy when setting up my sending domain. My experience with their tech support was excellent, especially with David S., who was incredibly patient and kind while walking me through connecting DNS records via Zoom. The email templates are easy to use, and I love that I can effortlessly integrate marketing images created in other design apps. Additionally, the ability to track who opens, clicks, or unsubscribes from my emails gives me valuable insights into client engagement.

OMG! What can I say about Privy to convince you to use them over the other guys? Well first off their platform is super easy to use and very user-friendly. Honestly, the highlight for me though is customer service. Carley is the best thing since sliced bread!! Before Privy I was with ActiveCampaign then Klaviyo. I left Klaviyo for a variety of reasons (nothing against them). I went to Privy and absolutely LOVED it! I stayed with them for about a year and unfortunately had to move my website from Shopify to Woocommerce so I couldn't use them any longer. That only lasted for about nine months and I ran back to Privy! Haha. They were happy to have me back and help me get everything set up again. If you're on the fence, I highly recommend using Privy over the other platforms. And, the icing on the cake is that they deeply care about your experience as a customer and your suggestions. Just go with Privy – you'll thank me later!

Henry @ Privy is highly responsive and has gotten us out of some crucial situations. He's been absolutely amazing to work with and Privy's many different integrations have helped us dig deeper into our business. The app itself is simple to use and the support we get from the Privy team is amazing!

Some of the quickest customer service I've experienced was from Jose at Privy. We had one minor issue and it was isolated and then rapidly resolved. This app has also helped tremendously with gaining new customers and customer outreach.

Great service! Karol helped me work through my needs to obtain what was required to offer sign-up discounts for my customers and set me on the path to setting up DNS settings. Vey patient when I am easily confused.

Changed over from Omnisend, email marketing is 50% app, 50% the person you work with.
With that said, Henry has been great the past two months in our transition.
We're not 100% fully on boarded yet.
Privy is missing some features, that is in the pipeline, will be looking forward to utilizing those features when it releases end of July!
More to come

I'm not a fan. A lot of functionalities and customisations are missing and I feel like every time I contact support to fix something, it can't be done.

I've been emailing back and forth to get my fonts fixed (it wasn't displaying the correct font on mobile) and to get my custom fonts installed for weeks and my website even froze because of this in the process... The abandoned cart email images are super small and they cut off the text, which just doesn't look good. And they also send the email even if the customer removed the item(s) from the cart, meaning that they get an empty email... Their landing pages are not easy to edit (they use their old software?) and I can't use them because they don't look good/on brand. They have very limited fonts available. These are just some of the things that I'm not happy with and wish I knew about before switching to Privy.
