You do not ask for a review when you have not let the user try the app first for some time. For that reason I give you one start. As I do not know if is going to serve my needs.

The new pricing of this App is ridiculous considering I don't use it for email campaigns. Going from a FREE app to being $70 a month based on PAGE VIEWS alone?! Ridiculous. Uninstalling and finding a different App. Now they'll get new customers who will pay the outlandish fees because of the high ratings from customers who used the App when it was free. Really poor, extortionist practices. I am so unimpressed. I was willing to go to a paid plan, thinking it would be 5, maybe 10 dollars a month. Nope. Absolutely not worth the 70-200% markup they're now charging customers.

I've been using Privy to capture customer emails for 12 months. About a month ago, Privy simply turned off the function to collect my customer data and gave me no warning either prior or even afterwards that it had done so. I investigated the 'lost data' myself (because I noticed a sudden drop in sign-ups) and was given the run around by Privy for 2 weeks before they finally admitted pausing my Privy campaign because I've now hit some sort of milestone not included in my current plan. No warning was given to me prior (to allow me the opportunity to upgrade and continue the campaign) and they didn't even tell me afterwards - instead they made other excuses for 2 weeks before finally admitting the truth. I've lost valuable customer data as a result. Privy is simply not worth the risk to your business.

Not satisfied with the service and customer support. Lack of customer centricity and awareness that they are here to help us, not vice versa.

The pop-up is pretty good however I would advise people to stay away from this company due to their absolutely shocking customer service and the risk of losing money as I have

I had been using Privy for a while and then one day the checkout cart on my site completely stopped working and I receiving a number of emails from potential customers saying they couldn't place an order.

After speaking to my theme developer, he managed to pin point the problem was the Privy javascript was causing the error

So I uninstalled privy....to no effect. There was still Privy javascript preventing the cart from working

I then tried reinstalling my theme completely fresh.....still Privy javascript preventing the cart from working

I then contacted Privy, desperate for them to help fix the problem so my customers could start placing orders.

2 DAYS LATER, all of this time my site has been dead, they got back to me to say they have found the problem I have described and they will raise it with their engineers to fix

I kept emailing them for some sort of time frame or some help on at least a temporary fix in the meantime but they didn't respond

Another 2 days later, 96 HOURS AFTER THE PROBLEM WAS FIRST FOUND, and still no sales to my store, Privy got back to me to say that "they don't debug javascript conflicts" and I would have to find help elsewhere

So they took 4 days to tell me that, yes they had in fact completely messed up my store but no they weren't going to do anything about it.

I have never known such terrible customer service

Horrible customer service; No one responds timely. The popup stopped working. too many issues. The help guide is not user friendly. I wish I were able to get someone on the phone for support.

5-Stars when it was free. Now, as others have indicated, it's REALLY expensive per month based on our page views. We're off to find another more reasonable option.
