THIS APP DID NOT WORK FOR US. WE DO REGRET USING IT - WE DID FOR THE LONGEST TIME BUT WERE TOO BUSY TO START ALL OVER AGAIN WITH A MUCH BETTER CHOICE with OTHERs AND THEY'RE SO MANY.. We used this app for 3 or more years, now as we are shopping around, we can safely say: the app has TONS OF BUGS and tons of technical issues and very poor customer service, till the last day, we kept following up on emails about technical issues we had, too much headache, they tell you "clear your cache", "your computers are old" or "not strong enough" - what a joke. One whole campaign just disappeared. HOW IS THIS EVEN POSSIBLE?!! They just suggested removing emails, which they did, we don't know what they removed and we never got this resolved. We CANNOT PUT A PRICE TAG ON HOW MUCH MONEY WE LOST over the years, we had to rewrite 100+ email templates and so many campaigns TWICE! in 3 years. We were asked to pay 4 times more, just because we complained about so many non-stop technical defects we faced - they said, "so we can serve you better" we need to charge you 4 times more. For us, it was not worth paying more and were very happy to close our account. We now starting with a much better application, costs less, more established and better customer service. We would not use this app even if we're getting paid to use it. For us we believe, THE LONGER we stayed as a business the worse it got, as if we were digging our own graves. LOOK AROUND, DO YOUR homework and make a decision for today and for tomorrow.

Worst sms app, price is too expensive and customer service is slow and it won't solve any of your problems, i don't recommend this app to anyone, waste of money
Hello! I'm sorry if you thought that our answer delays are too long. Our customer service is just available during weekdays, therefore, it's normal that our answer delays are higher when reaching out to us during the weekend. In any case, we hear your feedback and we will make sure to better mention it to avoid frustration waiting for an answer. Regarding our prices for SMS, apart from the prices listed on our website and inside your account, we offer $10 of SMS credit for free when you install the app to help you understand what you'll be generating in revenue and how many SMS you'll be able to send with that amount of credit. If you have any more comments or questions, feel free to reach out to us at [email protected].

User beware. This company has purposefully left us on an outdated plan and upgraded our plan on that old system without our permission. We have ended up paying above 50c per text message recently. Because they have been charging us per email and not per SMS. They refuse to refund the money thus far. There are better alternatives such as Klaviyo sms. Which you can properly segment and create more advanced audiences on. Their attribution model is also misleading. I am not 100% sure how they calculate it but you should really compare it to your google analytics source / medium. As their in built attribution was 6x higher than Analytics last click. Beware.
Hi Michael, I’m sorry to hear about the negative experience you’ve had with our platform. Indeed, your plan wasn't fitting your needs and as soon as you raised the matter, we promptly moved your account to a better fit as we have different plans available. Carts Guru’s SMS technology is better than Klaviyo's and has the same segmentation possibilities. I’ll be more than happy to walk you through them. Our SMS rates are also lower than other Saas companies. Regarding the attribution model, we use the last standard in the marketing automation sector: 30 days after the reception of an SMS/opening of an email. As you are using different marketing automation platforms depending on the channel, it's perfectly normal that revenues don't match with your Google Analytics. I hope we can make you change your mind about our platform soon! Please don’t hesitate to get in contact with us at [email protected], or chat with us in the app.
