Recharge Subscriptions

Aug. 29, 2024

Since 2018, we’ve relied on Recharge, but the unexpected price increase and the lack of care and communication with our business have diminished its value. Like many others, I was not informed of the planned price hike, and the dismissive response I received when I inquired confirmed that it was time to move on. This rating reflects the poor service and communication. When we first started offering subscription services, there weren’t many great options available. Fortunately, there are now more affordable and customer-oriented alternatives that allow us to move forward without Recharge.

Bad service and way overpriced! Beware. This company only cares about the $ in their pocket. EDIT: You can return funds charged with ZERO justification. Nothing justifies 400% increase. Especially when it is not specifically agreed to. You support can make it right but your company is greedy. So besides replying to this review with nonsense - you won't do anything.

All of a sudden increased their price from less than 10 dollars to 100 dollars without notifying their customers, when contacted, they are not willing to provide a refund.

Edit: NOTHING YOU SAY IS GOING TO JUSTIFY $25 to $100!!! STAY AWAY. THE WORST EXPERIENCE WITH AN APP ON SHOPIFY I HAVE EVER HAD. We are a small business that started using recharge last year. The charges were % based and worked ok for us. We spent around $5-25 monthly for the app. We were not aware and did not receive the emails regarding price change. We found out later on when viewing bills - that we are charged $100!!!! USD every month while we only have under 20 active subscriptions. This is a 500% increase in the fee. If this is not stealing - I don't know what else to call it. There was no reasonable explanation provided besides shoving their "terms" in my face. Horrible company with even more horrible people running it. BEWARE!!!

Poor customer service. AI automated response via email not clear help to get myself migrated over

no good, they put their prices up significantly without notice and direct debited the amounts, when I realised they only refunded a fraction.

So disappointed with this app. It was fine until they began charging $99 a month without the consent of their clients. When you change your prices that drastically, you make sure everyone is on board.

I've used ReCharge for almost a decade, and when I compare it to new offerings on the market it legs behind. But what has caused us to finally leave is being abandoned by support multiple times in situations where their errors have caused over a grand in monthly losses. The support team does not offer timely or thorough product support once you are signed up. The lack of accessible easy analytics also creates a logitics nightmare for my shipping department. ReCharge is no longer the king-pin for subscription apps on Shopify, I urge new store owners to search elsewhere and try new apps willing to try harder to earn your money.

Another victim of enshittification. Recharge increased monthly prices from zero to $100 and ruined what was a solid service.

Customer support is extremely difficult and does not provide a valid solution or answer any follow-up questions regarding the issues we are facing. While the supports response time is good the issue is with the content as the issue is not resolved and is affecting the bottom line of the business. The email thread with the support is a mile long and we have still not been able to get a meaningful solution or any feedback of proposed time to resolution. Being a SaaS solution there is no escalation option in a traditional sense to a process business owner that would take our issue seriously.

Impossible to cancel, unauthorized charges reoccur every month, any attempt to sto failed, had to escalate with Shopify, hopefully that would work

The Recharge services my shopify store uses are ONLY automated services, and for years they only charged ~$40/month. In 2024 they have bumped it up almost $100 MORE a month for same AUTOMATED services. Holding their customers hostage as migrating to another program would be timely and annoyingly difficult.

The communication and customer service experience were extremely disappointing. I received only one email notifying me of a steep price increase to $99 per month. When I contacted Customer Service about being overcharged, they showed little concern for my dissatisfaction, even though the initial notification email had ended up in my spam folder. It's surprising that Recharge wasn't more proactive in communicating such significant pricing changes. A banner pop-up or multiple communication channels would have been more effective in ensuring customers were aware of the new pricing. Overall, a disappointing experience.

App itself looks great. Customer service a complete let down. Highly not recommend using this app for this reason alone. Non responsive. Month 3 being billed $499 USD (total $1497 USD) for the app to still not be working correctly on site.

atrocious support - critical live issue relating to dynamic pricing and workflows - fobbed off to help guides with no real understanding (or care) to resolve the problem. no chat transcript sent after call closed - subsequent requests were passed to original ticket

Massively increased their prices! I am only a small coffee roastery. Went from paying about $2 a month based on how much I was selling to over $100 per month! I was given some warning to be fair, but it takes a while to update your web site. Plenty of other subscription services that don't charge the little guys anywhere near this (most are free to a point), so will be switching over ASAP!

Would not use again. Changed their billing cycles without informing customers. (They did say they sent emails but I had not received any). Last month they had billed me (a month late) for the app after they went paid, but again, I did not know that they were changing their billing. Getting a refund was difficult. Once refunded I removed the app never to be used again. You'll imagine my surprise when a month later I am billed again for the recharge app, that has been uninstalled for over a month now. I'd highly recommend a different app just based on this experience. Edit Update after response: Based on their reply it is easy to understand that recharge has been a difficult company to work with. My review was not a complaint about the app graduating to a paid app. My review IS however a complaint of their lack of communication, not informing me I was getting moved to this plan in any way whatsoever, improper billing cycles, improper billing, and unwillingness to accept the facts as they have played out. Please re read my review recharge, I have been working within your customer service parameters, and they have failed. On the customer service side, the individual I have dealt with this time around has been great, but unfortunately she must be getting bad information, as she was told my requested refund was completed (it wasn't).

No way to get rid of this useless app and they have been charging me on the sly a $99 fee for months on end when I’ve removed all my products from their site months ago!

They certainly increase the prices of the app without any warning at all and now since our subscribers are still in this we cannot close and canceled app. WARNING do not ever use this app they are stealing money
