Privy ‑ Email, SMS & Pop Ups
All reviews
The product appeared to work well but we found the company's 'service' (incessant emails) to be so annoying that we shelved the overall project in favor of other ones. Our phone meeting was bizarre. The final straw was the 'new pricing plan' which effectively killed our preliminary work- but the reality was no one in our company wanted to work with Privy. So if you are looking for an exit pop up it works- but if you are looking to be left alone to run your business go elsewhere. This isn't rocket science.
Thank you for the review, and sorry we didn't get off on the right foot. We'll certainly take this feedback into consideration. Best of luck!
Loved this app, then Privy decided to take it from being free, to being $140 a month. No joke. Beginning July 9th, 2019, they now have it set up so that as long as you get fewer than 5,000 page views a month, it's free. But at my monthly page views (around 55,000) they want me to pay $140 a month. $140. A. Month. That's more than I pay for my website! Don't get me wrong, I would gladly pay for the app, as I definitely think it added value. I'd pay $20-$40 a month, which is more than I pay for any other app for my website. But $140 a month?? Get real Privy.
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.
This app was great as a free app. Suddenly charging based on website views rather than a subscriber list means my costs have gone up 140%. Other companies charge less than half of this.
It never worked i wasnt able to get the popups to work, i tried changing the settings but its doesnt help

Very disappointed, your plan is easy to misunderstand, I pay $24 but can't send Abandoned email, I have to pay separately, and the reply is not timely.
Thanks for the feedback and sorry about the issues you are experiencing. I forwarded this issue to our support team and they should be in touch.
Used to be wonderful. Now they've gotten disgustingly greedy!!!! Went from a free app for simple email pop-ups, with reasonable prices for upgrades, to now a literally useless app for anyone with any remote amount of traffic to their website. Went from free to $70 a month just for a single damn pop-up! Outrageous. Cancelled and moving on to another FREE app for a simple damn email pop up. Reevaluate your decisions. You would have got more money out of me by offering small reasonable add-ons, than gouging all your highest traffic customers forcing them to move to other reasonable and often FREE apps that do the same thing!
Thank you for the feedback, and I'm sorry you were disappointed by our recent price change. We believe our new pricing puts us more in line with the needs of the market and the majority of our customers who are getting more features for a better value. If you're an existing customer and your price was negatively impacted by this change, we'd be happy to work with you! Just shoot us an email at [email protected] and we'll put you in touch with the right people.
Read this, Privy decided to download additional customer contacts in March 2022 which caused our pricing to triple. If this also happened to you reach out to support for them to correct your lists. This was a very bad decision privy made.
THIS APP WILL RUIN YOUR CODE AND LEAVE BUGG ON YOUR SITE. DEFAULT CAMPAIGN WILL START RUNNING WITHOUT NOTICE AND YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO TURN IT OF EVER AGAIN. BE PREPARED TO GET FUCKED OR LEAVE THIS APP. Honest advice form Shopify OG.

not so great so far, a lot of bugs, the plans are not clear, and I'm still looking for a way to have some futures. We will give it some more time but if it will keep on the same way we will have to look for an alternative ... even this pop us is buggy

This app is not my favorite. It isn't easy to understand or to manipulate within the designs. It is kind of confusing why you can't move the verbiage to any part of the photo within the designs. It just isn't working for me!

I was using the spin-to-win feature and it used to work great, unfortunately the ¨new pricing plan¨ its so unflexible that you need to pay for all features even if you don't use them just based on your website page views, in my case $250,00 monthly. That ends up making me choose for a different option.
Great to hear, thanks! If you need any help don't hesitate to reach out to our support team at [email protected] or check out our help docs at help.privy.com
The customer support behind this business is shity. I submitted a Complaint and someone reached out to me Via email one time and never responded to me again. I even explained early on how I wanted to cancel my subscription and downgrade back to the free account because the paid account is not worth the extra money. A few weeks later (still no reply from the original agent who reached out or anyone else from privy) they still charged my card. DO NOT pay for a subscription it is a complete waist of money.

Clunky plugin that is very difficult to use. Takes forever to contact support just to be brushed off.
Thanks for the feedback. This is definitely not the experience we want our customers to have, and we sincerely apologize. We appreciate your patience and understanding - someone from our support team will be reaching out ASAP.
It’s cool. It’s fine. I’ll keep working with it. The paid version is kind of high.....................helo..nono. The review pop up
The app started out ok but now it will not allow me to do any editing. Design has zero function. Have to wait 24-48hrs for customer service but I am working right now.

After using this app for under a year, they announced they would not longer support shopify! Why in the world would they do that when so many people use the app!
Hi there. I just saw your review and can assure you that nothing has changed or will change about our strong integration with Shopify. You may have seen our emails about Mailchimp and Shopify's integration going away, but Privy's integrations with both remain 100% intact. If you have any questions, please give us a shout at [email protected] and we apologize for any confusion!
i need some help and no one to talk to ?! can anyone contact me regarding this ? I would love to try this out but hello?
I just started using this app, I cannot give a review at this time. When i have used it for a while then you may get a review, Unfair to ask for one before I could had a chance to use it.
Design is good but my shopify customers would have terrible user experience if we choose the free plan. Tried signup campaign. The gray privacy label out of window and the fixed 10% OFF window are ruining user's shopping experience. I wish there were pics upload function here so every1 can see them. You can do better, privy.
