Privy ‑ Pop Ups, Email, & SMS

This app used to be fantastic. We told everyone about it. Shared it with all our merchants we knew. And the support staff were incredible. They changed their model. And became another one of those apps - that care more about enterprise customers - and less about mom and pop stores struggling.

This is my experience with this company. I met with a sales representative online to make sure that I this company was what I needed. I am very small and just launched my website to collect emails. We discussed the various plans and I was assured that Privy would meet my needs so I signed up for their email plan. The next day after I signed up, the company had an 'internal event' so there was no support and they do not have support on the weekends. I went ahead and followed online tutorials and documentation and set up much of what i needed. Today when I call about adding the Facebook Pixel I find out that in order to do this I have to also have another Privy plan. I have just wasted many hours of work because at this point in time I do not need another Privy plan that I am no where near needing. This was an awful experience as my time is the most valuable asset I have and I just wasted alot of it with this company. Privy GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER! Your sales rep should have explained what I needed ahead of time and there should be something explaining all the requirements prior to someone purchasing the email plan. And as a side note, someone should not have to go three days without any support.

I'm just going to keep this short and sweet. Test everything before you commit to a subscription. Their email capabilities may cause more problems than actual benefits, in which may even negatively impact your business. Sales team is too pushy and doesn't seem to care about your needs or concerns. All they care about is upgrading you to their latest plans and keep calling me non stop. Bad experience overall period.

Increased their price from $10 a month to $13 a month and now to $30 a month. For a small business it's a hard hit. Very disappointed and it's a great time to switch to Klaviyo.

doubled their plan prices in one year, and the app doesn't really make the difference

Privy has been charging me an erroneous $50 usage fee on TOP of the $20 fee for the past 6 months. Extremely dissatisfied....

Shady business practices, taking advantage of site data they have been given access to to try and force a payment scheme on my site. Will never use again, and I encourage any shop owner who wants to do business with trusted partners to go find another app to integrate into their site.

I would rather give them 0 stars if I could. Their support team is not helping at all! It won't allow me to cancel the plan unless contact them,and I did, they do not even reply my email for 2 days!!!! Please do not use them. Worst experience ever!!!!

The process to add legitimate emails to your email list is too time consuming and unnecessarily complicated. Once they have signed you on, support disappears. They also...send emails offering to help your business, but when you reach out, these emails has always ended up a waste of time for me.

I just started so we will see how Privy works! Very excited.
