The pop up portion of Privy was extremely helpful, now that mailchimp does not integrate with Shopify and we've tried Privy it is extremely disappointing. Its not an intuitive UI. The text color does not match when you send the test emails and you can change it, but it does not change on the test email. You can't get customer support. Help features are a contact sub,mission form that doesn't even get addressed over weekends. I easily would've rated Privy 5/5 stars for the email signup pop/up...that's the only reason this isn't a 1 star

The idea of the email popups is great but it is hard to figure out how to set the campaigns up.

Another one of those SUPER slow "live help" features, where it seems like they are helping five other people at the same time. But is IS there, and you can often fix your problem on your own while waiting (my case), and it is free....

Don't pay for anything....completely not worth the money and totally underwhelming. Triggers don't function properly even when you are paying premium dollar. Got locked into a contract and was one of my worst business decisions yet. Email/Newsletter capability is a joke. If you are on free plan, they have some decent offerings.

This seemed easy to use and install but I can't work out if it has automatically synced with Mailchimp or not and the interface doesn't seem as intuitive. I've not found the templates as easy to use as Mailchimp and the help desk not as accessible as I'd hoped. I'm sure it will be good but I need support to get set up that doesn't seem that easy to access

had to switch to this when shopify and mail chimp parted ways... don't love this app but it was my cheapest option. I think it looks really cheesey and cheap on my site. I will probably switch to something else shortly.

prompts me to leave a review too frequently. super annoying! Maybe just go slower with that request and let it happen organically!

Not sure why you have to upgrade to sync an email address. Not cool to say it is free and then upsell us that way.

You can mention it on the front of your website in big bold letters up top where we can see it instead of having to look for it.

Mention that you have a free version where you can't sync your email address and then mention that you have a paid version where you can sync your email address.

People appreciate transparency and being up-front instead of finding out later.

I think the free version should let people sync at least 1 email address and the paid version should let people sync multiple email addresses.
