Used to Hack account!!!!!!

Thank you for bringing this to our attention — we're committed to resolving it as quickly as possible.

very limited and overpriced email software. doesn't have basic functionality like dynamic discounts and just feels like and old email software overall. Use klaviyo if you want the best. Or use mailerlite or something if want a lower budget one. But DONT use omnisend
Thanks for sharing your feedback! We’re sorry to hear that Omnisend didn’t meet your expectations. However, we’d like to clarify that we do, in fact, offer a dynamic discounts feature. Our system automatically generates unique discount codes for each customer, applies them at checkout with a single click, and even allows for reusing or refreshing the code throughout multiple emails in an automation — whichever fits your strategy best. Our support team has already provided a detailed explanation of how dynamic discounts work in Omnisend, along with the various ways you can effectively use them. We hope this has addressed your concerns and made it clear that Omnisend fully supports both dynamic and custom discounts to fit different marketing needs. Additionally, our senior support specialist has reached out to you to offer further clarification and ensure you’re making the most of Omnisend. If you have any further questions, we've got your back!

It's a scam! They kept charging me $800 every month. I had around $1600 SMS credit in my account, I wanted to downgrade my email plan and they took ALL of my credit away!! There is NOWHERE says if you downgraded email plan, your credit will be gone! I paid for $1500 credit! Give my money back!! After talking to their support, Diego, I told him I will upgrade my plan back and just give my $1500 credit back to my account. He said he can not do that, he can only give me $599 credit back??!! In less than 24 HOURS AGO, there were at least $1500 SMS credit in my account, even I told them I will undo the cancellation, they still want to steal my money! This is extremely unfair to the user and it is very unprofessional. Diego is trying to steal my credit. First, there is no alert or info says that I will lost ALL my credit when I click downgrade my plan. Second, even if you undo to downgrade in less than 24 HOURS, they will still take YOUR MONEY! I have been using omnisend for almost a year now, this is extremely unfair and disappointed! I will never recommend this app unless you will use them forever! or they will definitely take your MONEY!!
We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. We completely understand how frustrating and disappointing this situation must have been for you. We never want our customers to feel that they’ve lost value, and I’d love to clarify what happened here. The SMS credits in your account were tied to your Pro plan subscription, meaning they were available as part of that plan's benefits. When a Pro plan is downgraded to Standard or Free (as in your case), the associated features — including SMS credits — are no longer accessible. We strive to make this clear by outlining that features such as unlimited emails, advanced reporting, and SMS credits are only available while the Pro plan is active. To clarify further, your Pro plan was renewed on February 6th, and since the subscription lasts for 30 days, it expired on March 8th. As of that date, your Pro plan benefits, including the free SMS credits associated with the plan, also expired, meaning they were no longer available for use. Regarding your SMS credits, the rollover applies only to the previous month’s balance, and SMS credits expire after 60 days. This means that while we can restore some of the unused credits from February if you decide to re-upgrade, credits from January have now expired and cannot be reinstated. Our senior support specialist has provided as much flexibility as possible within the system’s limitations and has thoroughly explained the reasoning behind these policies. We understand that this may not have been expected, and we regret any confusion. We’re always working to improve clarity around plan changes and credit usage, and we appreciate your feedback as we continue to refine our processes.

Since the month we installed OMNISEND a lot of users aterted to appear, clearly created by bots. OMNISEND charges per user son they benfit form this bots creating new accounts by the thousands. I investigated online and it has happened to many other stores that start using OMNISEND.
Thank you for sharing your experience with us, and I'm really sorry to hear about the challenges you've faced with spambots. As our support team clarified, the spambots were created in Shopify first, and that's what led to the unexpected increase in contacts on Omnisend. It’s important to note that this is something we’ve seen in other stores as well, and we are more than happy to help resolve it. We appreciate you taking the time to clean up your audience, and we’re confident that your current list now reflects only your genuine contacts. After calculating the overcharges from the last couple of months, our senior support specialist has informed you about the steps we’ve taken to correct the issue. To prevent this from happening again, we strongly recommend reaching out to Shopify’s support team. They’ll be able to pinpoint the source of the issue and help you implement safeguards like double opt-in and reCAPTCHA. Thank you again for your patience, and we're here if you need any further assistance.

Terrible Customer Support – Avoid This App! If you run into any issues, don’t expect their customer support to be helpful. They take forever to respond and keep making excuses instead of actually fixing the problem. I had an issue where the pop-up form’s background was always transparent, making it unusable. When I reached out for support, they said they would escalate my ticket to a technician, which would take 48 hours. After waiting, I finally got a response—only to be told that my issue was "out of their scope". I've used many apps before and never had this problem. They even tried to shift the responsibility to Shopify, but when I contacted Shopify support, they confirmed that the app provider should be the one fixing it. For what we pay, we should get proper service and a functioning app. Would not recommend!
Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re sorry to hear that our support didn’t meet your expectations — we always strive to provide timely and helpful assistance. Regarding the issue with the pop-up form, we’ve reviewed it and found that the form itself is working correctly, but custom CSS rules on your website were unintentionally hiding the background. In this case, a specific design rule using '!important' was overriding standard settings, which is generally not recommended as it can prevent certain elements from displaying as expected. Since these settings are controlled by the website, adjustments need to be made directly in the site's code. A web developer or your theme support team would typically be the best resource for this, and we’re glad to see that the issue has since been resolved. While we understand this wasn’t the ideal experience, rest assured that we did everything we could from our side to assist. If there’s anything else we can clarify or help with, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Awful. The support is absent and it's not working. Of course they provide a reply using chatgpt to try to cover the fact that they are just awful.
We understand your frustration and appreciate your concerns. After a thorough review by our Compliance team, a decision was made to deny our services in accordance with our compliance standards, which are designed to uphold security and integrity. While we recognize this may be disappointing, our customer support team has responded in a timely manner in line with our policies, and we are unable to provide further details regarding the review process. This decision is final, but we encourage you to review our terms of service for more information on our policies and guidelines.

They now use a bot for their support model AND YOU CAN'T REACH ANYONE TO ACTUALLY HELP YOU. I've tried for a week to get someone to answer my questions, the bot just blocks me and they NEVER email back, as the bot claims they will. If you are a small business BEWARE of this organization. Their customer support is lacking and they will not help you. I've been trying to adjust my subscription but they'd rather keep charging me a high price rather than align my subscription to my customer count.
We’re truly sorry to hear about your frustration in reaching our support team. While Omnibot is designed to streamline support and connect customers with the right resources, it looks like your request wasn’t escalated as it should have been due to a technical issue. That’s on us, and we deeply regret that your experience didn’t meet expectations. We’ve reviewed your case and haven’t encountered similar issues with Omnibot before, so your feedback is incredibly valuable in helping us prevent this from happening in the future. We appreciate you bringing it to our attention. To make things right, our senior support specialist has reached out to you directly to address your pricing concerns and explore a subscription model that better aligns with your customer count. We want to ensure you're getting the best value, and we’re here to work with you on a solution that fits your needs. Thanks again for your feedback — it helps us improve, and we hope to regain your trust.

Bad customer service. Unreliable email sends.
We’re truly sorry to hear that the support we provided fell short of your expectations. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by the slight delay in delivering your emails. We understand how critical timely communication is, and we deeply regret any impact this may have had on your campaigns. Please rest assured that the issue was resolved the same day, after a few hours. Following up on the matter, our senior support specialist reached out to offer further assistance and ensure everything was fully addressed. We are continually working to improve and will take steps to prevent such situations from occurring in the future. If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Your feedback is incredibly important to us, and we are committed to earning back your trust and improving your experience with Omnisend.

They will increase price for no reason, and stop giving you options to choose. the first time they over charged me by 70 dollars, I contacted them, got a refund, and this time they went from 30 40 a month to 80 a month, WITHOUT notifying me.
Thank you for sharing your concerns with us. We truly value your feedback and would like to provide some clarity regarding how our quarterly plans work and address your billing inquiry. The quarterly plan you initially subscribed to was a one-time offer that included a 30% discount. Once the 3-month period ended, your account automatically transitioned to a monthly plan based on your contact tier, as the quarterly discount is no longer active. When you first upgraded, your contact tier allowed up to 4,500 billable contacts, which was priced at $75/month under the discounted quarterly plan. However, we noticed your billable contacts have now increased to 4,510, which has placed your account into the $80/month tier. This change, combined with the shift to a monthly plan, explains the difference in your most recent charge. Our senior billing specialist has already reached out to you to provide a more detailed explanation and offer a personalized plan based on your needs. Please check your in-app messages or email for further details. We appreciate your understanding, and we’re here to assist you further if you have any additional questions or need further clarification.

2025 Oct 5th. Again ,we are charged $190 each month as we are told that we reach the contact limit .They charge us $20 more for 500 more contacts . DO NOT USE THIS APP AT THE VERY BEGINNING ! AS THEY ARE SO SO EXPENSIVE ,THEY CONTINUE CHARGING MORE MONEY ! THE MOST DISGUSTING APP I HAD EVEN HAD . THIS APP ALWAYS CHARGE EXTRA MONEY WITHOUT OUR PERMISSION .We are charged additional $69 on Oct 26th except for the $183 monthly billing ,and they told us to give us 180000 credit ,we actually use 18282. TOO EXPENSIVE .NEVER USE THIS COMPANY . Again ,this app charged us more money, and do not let us send emails . They charged us $180 usd in Jul.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re sorry to hear about the frustration you’ve faced regarding billing and contact limits, and we completely understand how this can be confusing. The reason you’re seeing these additional charges is that your account has exceeded 100% of the contact reach limit included in your current plan. For example, if your plan allows sending to up to 10,000 billable contacts and you reach out to more than that number, the system automatically notifies you and pauses further sending until the plan is upgraded. This ensures fair and transparent usage across all accounts. It’s important to note that the Fixed Tier Plan has always been designed with this limitation, and the contact count resets at the start of each billing period. To continue sending, an upgrade to the next available tier is required, after which the restriction banner will be lifted. As your audience continues to grow, so do the needs of your email marketing. Since you’re now reaching more people than your current subscription tier allows, upgrading ensures that you can keep engaging your expanding customer base without interruptions. We appreciate you giving us the opportunity to address your concerns and look forward to supporting you moving forward.

BE AWARE - they don't disclose this before installing the app. "Kindly note that as of now, the Omnisend logo can only be removed from your Forms and Campaigns if you are subscribed to one of our paid plans, either the Standard or Pro plan." I could maybe go with Omnisend logos showing up on the bottom of an email, but not on a sign-up popup! That makes the free plan pretty much useless. Also, they failed with the first try of communication. After a long wait, I received a quick reply that didn't address all my questions, and then they just stopped responding altogether. I spent an entire day trying to figure out how this app works, but at least I discovered these issues early, giving me the chance to switch to a different app. It makes me wonder, how can you build a business with this kind of customer treatment?
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us, and I’m truly sorry to hear that it fell short of your expectations. I understand how frustrating it must have been to discover the Omnisend logo on your sign-up popup and to feel that our response didn’t fully address your concerns. That’s not the experience we aim to provide, and your feedback helps us improve. The Omnisend logo appears on forms and emails within the Free plan as part of a balance that allows us to provide powerful tools at no cost. With the Free plan, we offer a suite of advanced marketing features – including automations, forms, product reviews, integrations, SMS and push notifications channels, as well as live chat support available 24/7, 365 days a year – all of which can be explored without a paid subscription. Having our logo on communications created within the Free plan helps us keep it accessible and free, while also allowing businesses to use many of the same capabilities found in paid plans. This way, we can continue supporting businesses of all sizes, including those just starting out, while also offering a seamless upgrade path that removes the logo for those ready to access even more premium features. I’m sorry to hear that our first response missed the mark; that’s certainly not the standard of support we aim to deliver. As we approach Black Friday and Cyber Monday, our response times might be a tiny bit longer than usual, but please rest assured that we’re doing our best to assist everyone as quickly as possible. If there’s anything we can still clarify or assist you with, please let us know – we’d love the chance to make it right. Thank you again for helping us improve, and we wish you all the best with your email marketing journey.

These emails are moving to promotions in Gmail which is having less chance of getting it recovered
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We understand the issue you’re facing, and our senior support specialist has reached out via email with more details and suggestions to assist you. Our system is built to deliver emails directly to the main inbox. However, inbox placement can vary depending on the recipient's settings. For example, in Gmail, emails may land in the Promotions tab if tabs are enabled, or they may be affected by strong spam filters. This is something neither we nor any email marketing platform can fully control. It's important to note that the Promotions tab is part of the main inbox, not a spam folder, and many users actively engage with it. We kindly invite you to check the email our senior support specialist sent and feel free to discuss this topic further or raise any concerns you might have. We’re at your disposal and happy to assist!

"In four months, the monthly fee increased from 20 USD to 100 USD. Why are the charges getting higher and higher? No detailed fee breakdown has been provided, nor has any explanation been given as to why the charges keep increasing.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We understand your concerns, and I want to let you know that our senior customer support specialist has already reached out to you via email with a detailed breakdown of your charges and an explanation of the pricing increase. To provide a more general overview, our billing system works based on the size of your audience. Each billing cycle, we calculate the number of subscribers and non-subscribers you have, which places you in a specific pricing tier. As your contact list grows, this requires more email credits, which is reflected in your subscription cost. It’s actually a good sign for your business that your contact base has increased, but we understand that rising costs can be concerning. If you’d like to reduce your fee, we recommend cleaning your list by removing inactive or old contacts who aren’t engaging with your emails. Segmenting your audience can help lower costs, and you can follow these instructions to do so: https://support.omnisend.com/en/articles/1061868-segmenting-inactive-contacts. We hope this helps clarify the situation, and if you have any further questions, feel free to reply to the email we've sent to you. We will be happy to further clarify any concerns you might have. We’re here to help ensure that you’re getting the best value from our service.

I recently downloaded this app for my Shopify website Email Marketing. I have been requesting a demo of the app with no response. I sent several emails asking for help setting up the app no response. I am now thinking of deleting the app and finding an email marketing app with better access to support. if anyone has any suggestions please feel free to let me know thanks.

STAY CLEAR - I would say stay away from this company if you would like customer support. They don’t provide anything but empty promises and ongoing stress. The only lady that has been helpful was the one that set it up but apart from that it’s terrible. They charge you for a subscription you can’t even access and when you ask for a refund they say well it’s because there was still emails getting sent out you still have to pay. ( what a joke because I couldn’t even get access to the account ) went to my bank and forced the refund on Omnisend as it wasn’t suppling the full goods or service I was paying for. And now the stupid company won’t disconnect from my website and keep sending me emails saying I need to pay money for sms credits but they confirm my account has been cancelled and closed off? But no it hasn’t as if I go on my website the automations are still running, but now I’m not paying so what a nightmare. Sort your workflow and customer accounts out as I don’t want to be associated with omnisend anymore. Remove my details and unlink from my website. Enough is enough!!!
Hello there, Hello, I’m truly sorry to hear about the challenges you’ve faced and the frustration it’s caused. We understand how important it is for our customers to have a smooth experience. I want to assure you that a senior representative reached out to you previously to confirm the account deletion and provided details about the charges. Additionally, the refund you requested was processed 21 days ago. If you’re still encountering issues or have further concerns, please review the email from our senior agent. Your feedback is important to us, and we’re here to help resolve any remaining issues. Thank you for your understanding and patience.

This app was good, untill they started deceiving their customers. At first, the payment was based on how many emails and sms messages can you send, now they are doing some tricky way to take money from you, and they are charging on the amount of subscribers you have. We have just 600 active subscribers, and they are charging us like we have 3000 +. HIGHLY AVOID THIS APP!!!
Hello there, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We apologize for any confusion and frustration you’ve experienced regarding our pricing structure. Our billing system is designed to be transparent and fair, charging based on the number of subscribers and non-subscribers in your audience. A senior agent has already reached out to address your concerns and provide clarification. Please respond to their email so we can assist you further and resolve any issues. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to improve your experience with our service.

App is not working for couple of days, I can't contact with support. Very poor quality.
Hello there, Thank you for your feedback. We apologize for the inconvenience you've experienced with our app and the difficulty in reaching our support team. We understand the frustration this situation has caused and are committed to resolving the issue as quickly as possible. A senior representative has reached out to you to assist with this matter. Please respond to their email at your earliest convenience so we can provide the support you need. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to improve your experience with our service.
July 15, 2024
UPDATE: No resolution has been reached, and the only pricing you offer is for the quantity of emails and messages sent. Very nice smoke and mirrors response. Omnisend keeps increasing the price of our subscription, hoping we won't notice. Since we don't send out emails monthly, they now charge us $25 a month for sending zero emails. Additionally, we currently don't use their services; we just maintain our subscription to collect emails. Additionally, we placed a hold on the card we were using until we could contact Omnisend. However, we were required to pay our invoice before being able to contact support. This is extremely poor service and reflects the platform's prioritization of greed over customer care.
Good day, Brian! Thank you for updating your review. We apologize if it appeared that your request was ignored. Our senior representative has reached out to you previously with a suggested solution but did not receive a confirmation. Based on your latest update, we have reached out to you again to assist with your issue. For your privacy, we recommend getting back to us via the email sent by our senior representative. This will allow us to address your concerns more effectively without disclosing private details publicly. We appreciate your cooperation and look forward to resolving this matter for you. ------------------------------------------ Original reply: Hello there, Thank you for your feedback. We apologize for any frustration and confusion caused by our billing system. To clarify, our billing system calculates the number of subscribers and non-subscribers in your audience each billing cycle, which determines your price tier. As your audience size has increased, the subscription cost has also increased accordingly. Your account remains active with Omnisend, which is why you continue to incur charges. If you no longer wish to be billed, please ensure you cancel your subscription. A senior representative has reached out to you to discuss this matter in detail and assist you with any further questions or concerns. Please respond to their email at your earliest convenience. We appreciate your understanding and are committed to improving your experience with our service.

Wouldn't refund me after 2 hours into the subscription and no functions were used. Customer service refuses to contact me.
Hello there, Firstly, I apologize for any inconvenience you may have experienced. We genuinely value our customers and strive to provide the best possible service. I understand your frustration, and I want to clarify that your refund request was not ignored. Our team was actively working to find a workaround to increase your sending limit in the hopes of keeping you as one of our valued customers. However, as per your request, I would like to inform you that a refund was issued on July 5. You should see the funds transferred to your bank account within 5 to 10 days. If you have any further concerns or need additional assistance, please feel free to reach out to us.
