Privy ‑ Pop Ups, Email, & SMS

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.

For the free version we would like more option for explore the application

mal !! se cae la pagina todo el tiempo, no me deja enviar ningún tipo de campañas, pago el plan y me dice que no lo he actualizado, hasta el momento mala experiencia

Used to be wonderful. Now they've gotten disgustingly greedy!!!! Went from a free app for simple email pop-ups, with reasonable prices for upgrades, to now a literally useless app for anyone with any remote amount of traffic to their website. Went from free to $70 a month just for a single damn pop-up! Outrageous. Cancelled and moving on to another FREE app for a simple damn email pop up. Reevaluate your decisions. You would have got more money out of me by offering small reasonable add-ons, than gouging all your highest traffic customers forcing them to move to other reasonable and often FREE apps that do the same thing!

When I launch my campaign live, and an email is imputed, the button click returns an error. Doesn't work for me.

Beware: Like all other reviews I got caught in Privy's scam, they initially quote you $45 a month and then months later they start charging you $120 more a month, which they tell you that since I have gotten more emails I am charged because of it, I used it for one pop up and one abandoned cart email campaign, which neither helped to gather more emails. This app left a bad taste in my mouth on how these apps can change their amount of payment without letting you know. $165 a month for an app is not worth it, especially Privy is not worth it. Alas, I do see there is a pattern of this behavior in the reviews.
