Free ESP features with a hefty price tag, confusing pricing, and 1-star customer service. Omnisend's email automations are easy to set up and use. That's the only good thing I can and will say about this ESP. The pricing: confusing They nickel and dime you for every feature. My bill has more than doubled in less than two years. The features certainly have not. The features: rigid If you're a seasoned email marketer, you're going to be frustrated by the lack of available features and customizations. If you're going to rely on Omnisend's templates, please run. They are awful and not at all customizable beyond colors and fonts (if they even have your font). You're going to spend a LOT of time creating emails and making them look good. The reporting: What reporting? Stop expecting customers with small list sizes to pay hundreds of dollars a month for impactful reporting. Every metric that will help you is paywalled. If you're not a data-driven organization, this ESP is for you. If you're not data-driven, fix that TODAY. The customer service: A joke Every time I've run into an issue - which is often - the customer service is lackluster and lacks accountability or follow-through. Documentation online of often outdated and/or missing key information. As a company: Disappointing I stopped using Omnisend after getting an invite to a virtual summit a couple of years ago and there were ZERO women speakers. It's 2024. You couldn't find one non-white man to speak on a panel? Embarrassing.

stay away from this app. After you put your credit card, there is no way to get rid of it. You can not uninstall. After you install it, there is no way to uninstall. So, just stay away ! They just inform you the price is bigger, and there is nothing you can do. Paymnets will be made automatically.

Increased price to $132 without notice. $100 more than what I was previously paying. Customer service is terrible. Their website provides false information/advertising.

Hello there! Thank you for sharing your recent experience with our service. Please accept our most sincere apologies for the delay in our response. Here at Omnisend we believe in transparency with our customers. Our pricing can always be checked in our dedicated page below: https://www.omnisend.com/pricing/ Indeed, we see that your plan did increase, but please keep in mind that our billing system works as follows: Each billing day we calculate how many subscribers and non-subscribers you have in your Audience → this puts you in a price tier, which is the fee that we charge. Previously, you were charged for 2,607 billable contacts up until September, your audience then increased to 9,286 billable contacts thus increasing the price you were charged. We understand how overwhelming it can be to face such increment in your billing, but if you should feel the need to decrease such fee, we always recommend segmenting inactive contacts and unsubscribing them to avoid such increase. We greatly appreciate your feedback once more. If you require further assistance or have any specific concerns, our customer support team is available 24/7 and can be reached via in-app chat or email at [email protected]. Have a great day!

I have had some issues with Omnisend since beginning using it, from it's limitation of sizing (popups) to a few other things. But today, I put the account on a freeze to explore some options and better looks, and they charged me for the freeze and also charged me for the next month of service. Doesn't get much more corrupt than that. I reached out to support (which they make difficult) and go a non-answer answer of let me pass this to someone else. Taking this and the price increases into account. I would advise against using Omnisend anymore, but be careful how you get out. They may charge you more for leaving.

Hi there, we appreciate you for taking the time to leave Omnisend a review. We apologize for not being able to get back to you sooner on the matter. Indeed, freezing your account does have a fee and see that you were charged for your subscription before freezing your account. Our billing team refunded the charge for such subscription as soon as you reached out to our support team to assist on the matter. As for experiencing certain inconveniences with our product, please do not hesitate to reach out to our support team at [email protected], and our team will be more than to assist on any questions or concerns you may have. Have a wonderful day.

Unglaublich Lange Ladezeiten! Fehlerhafte Funktionen! Ich bin in letzter Zeit Sehr unzufrieden mit dem Support. Lange Wartezeiten auf Rückmeldungen und dann kommen antworten , mit denen man nichts anfangen kann. Bei diesen überteuerten Preise der App, erwartet man wenigstens einen besseren Support. Aktuell bin ich sehr unzufrieden und kann Omnisend nicht weiterempfehlen!

I referred this app to 4000+ students and they had the nerve to deactivate my account when I have been using them for years and had a solid email list and when I contacted them they said the compliance team has decided they do not want to do business with me and has the right to not discuss why. My store was a christian store with two fasting and praying journals on it. If you ask me it sounds like they are being religious because I literally have not done anything wrong. I feel scammed after vouching this app to thousands of people and lost my entire email list after all of my hard work.

I am not very happy, very bad first impression of Omnisend. Downloaded app 5 days ago. Process was pretty easy in the beginning to set up but then I hit a wall by not being able to verify my domain. It's been 5 days yet nobody has helped me solve this problem, my business has been unable to send out marketing campaigns and it's been 12 hours since I last spoke with someone in customer service who basically ignored me. Terrible way to start things and it's hurting my business.

A horrible customer service experience. Worked on an Email template for over 2 hours and after activating the same, the template got reset (twice). Contacted the customer service who kept me waiting for half hour only to get a reply that it will take them 48 hours to check on the issue if this can be fixed. What is worst is that they assign staff based on the tier of the customer you are which is quite bias already. If this review doesn’t get updated, most likely I switched to Klavio.

I recently had a terrible experience with this service. To make matters worse, they don't even have a phone number to call for help! When I tried to get assistance through their online chat, the operator was unhelpful and didn't seem to care about my concerns. I am extremely disappointed with this service and would not recommend it to anyone.

UPDATE: CONTINUES TO GLITCH. This has beautiful templates and is a more affordable option than alternatives, but unfortunately the glitches mean you end up paying for it. It frequently stalls out and although the team gets back with a response, it does mean that you are delayed sending out emails by hours or days which is precious time for a small business owner. Former review: I've been really disappointed. I switched because it seemed like a great option for my small business, but the bugs they've had this week meant that I couldn't announce my shop's grand opening, I couldn't send out my two year anniversary celebration email, and I'm waiting to send out emails to customers for our soft launch! The workaround they gave me hasn't worked either. When it worked, it was great, but it's crazy to have these issues several days in a row when we rely so heavily on email marketing.

Seems they have a lot of "good reviews", most likely all of those are fake. Installation and setting everything up is seemingly easy, but at least in our Abandoned Cart flow, we encountered lots of bugs. Issues with Omnisend: - Emails go out at random times and the delay set between the emails is completely useless. For example an email that was supposed to go out 15 minutes after the abandoned cart, arrived in the inbox 8 hours later. - At times the emails did not arrive at all, not even in the spam folder. This was not a setting issue. - Worst part was that the final test we did with a completely new email, duplicate amount of emails were sent. Of course hours later once again, and then again 9 hours later. - The discount code they generate does not seem to be automatically applied in the checkout. ...Did not investigate this further as the app proved to be useless, we are not even going to bother with support, they too did not reply as the recommended time frame. All of this set us back 2 days. Would not recommend using.

Hello there; thank you for leaving a review; it is highly appreciated. We are sorry for the issues you faced. As we can see, our Support Team was trying to help you investigate the case, but you haven't responded. We will provide some info here as well, but please note that in order to investigate this case, we would need some examples of such cases (with their emails): - There are few reasons for the issue with delay, it could be related to a contact who comes and updates their cart a few times, or it could be an editing workflow case; - This issue would be better to investigate with our team and we would appreciate if you could provide an example of such case; - Most likely related to frequency settings in the workflow and can be easily fixed by enabling this option; - Shopify generates discount codes, Omnisend only sync them and adds to the email, in order to automatically add a discount code to the checkout page, you need to enable this option in discount settings when customizing your email. Again, we are sorry for the issues you have faced, and we would be more than glad to assist you in our in-app chat or by email. You can send us an email to [email protected]; our support is available 24/7.

1- They charged for SMS and their SMS doesn't even work in the UAE. I requested a refund and they never replied back. and again I got charged for 2nd month. 2- the welcome discount generated for use of signup is a complete disaster! if you have sales on your store the new user will get additional discounts and you will end up losing so much money as there's no way to control the code they generate.

Used this app for years and then one day my pop ups, email captures and everything else just disappeared from my site!! In fact, the app had no record of my customer data. Wrote for support but haven't received an answer or my data back! I guess maybe they did an update and forgot about their current customers! If this can get my data back and it is working again, I'd certainly appreciate it. But it's no longer a 4.8 rated app. Any app that just stops working on you and then can't even show you as an existing client, let alone get your working data back you created...isn't worth a rating.

First they have very limited templates. And then I raised first case related to one of the templates and they've failed to resolve it. Instead working on it their tech team advised me to use jpeg and other supported formats. While there was no issue with the format as I used jpeg only. Had given them real campaign code to check - not sure why they asked for it if they had to give generic advice. They again asked me to wait for tech team's revert. They actually don't look at the problem and intend to solve, but rather give generic advices.

Terrible experience with their bad service. They keep changing the agents when you have a question or issue with your account. And they are not trying to help or understanding your situation. I got a technical issue of sending email campaigns with all broken product images, they solved it after a couple of days without noticing me. I only found out myself. After talking to them, they did not explain what was happening and offered a 20% off discount to compensate. But the funny part is the 20% discount overwrote my existing 30% off discount applied on my account??? And nobody gives a good reason for it or was able to switch it back! Feeling so disappointed with the bad service and surprised by their way of dealing issue. Thinking of changing to another email marketing app.

Hello there, and thank you for taking the time to submit a review! We apologize for not being able to get back to you sooner on the matter. Please keep in mind that even though we provide support 24/7, it can be difficult to have the same agent handle each request, thus as soon as the agent is no longer available, other agents step in and strive to tend to our customers as best as possible. We understand how frustrating it can be to encounter such an issue, especially after investing time in creating your emails. Unfortunately such problem was encountered with Shopify but was addressed and tended to in a prompt manner. As for the discount, your previous 30% off discount expired previously on September 2023 and between downgrading and upgrading your account such discounts tend to be automatically removed as discounts are tied to subscriptions and not accounts. We see that our billing team re-added the previous discount you had upon reaching out to our team. If you should need any further assistance, do not hesitate to reach out at [email protected], and our team will be more than happy to be of assistance. Have a great day!
