"Unexpected Price Hikes, Technical Errors, and Sparse Analytics"

0.5/5

What do you like best about Privy?

literally nothing Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Privy?

Privy lied to me during sign-up and overcharged me for years. I chose it because I thought it was less expensive than other apps, but then the price increased five times for no reason. The analytics give almost no details, there are too many technical errors, and I found the setup difficult. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Not happy at all. My templates are now useless after the latest update."

0/5

What do you like best about Privy?

It used to be a user friendly platform before its most recent update. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Privy?

Updates that impact templates and no notification provided to its users. An update was done and I lost so much of my work. My templates that I worked very hard to make, now useless according to a customer service representative. They advised me to create brand new templates. Unacceptable response. I will be seeking email services elsewhere. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy to use - highly intuitive and proven!"

5/5

What do you like best about Privy?

The customization and functionality are impressive for an app of this cost. You can handle pretty much anything a larger customer contact platform can do, but all within the Shopify dashboard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Privy?

There are a couple of extra customizable features I would like to see, such as adding a custom font on a newsletter. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Privy:

Don't spend money on the big platforms. You can do everything you need in privy with the help of the tech support team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Privy solving and how is that benefiting you?

Recently implemented a workflow to have customers who redeem the discount on the signup to get an email to further register with our site. An issue we've had for years. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Love Privy for My Business"

5/5

What do you like best about Privy?

I started out using Privy for my pop-up to capture leads in multiple ways. Then decided to use them for email marketing. We set up automations, cart abandonment campaigns and weekly email campaigns. They have great customer service and sales support to assist in building out automations, if you want or need the help. I would highly recommend Privy! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Privy?

The only downside to Privy is the reporting. I wish there was more detailed reporting, especially when you want to dial in on what your email subs are clicking on, so you can deliver more of what they are interested in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Privy Ups The Game"

5/5

What do you like best about Privy?

Not only is the customer service amazing, but the increase in email signups and open rates is incredible! I love having a CSM to help me every step of the way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Privy?

The Privy team is always working to fix little bugs here and there, but what service doesn't have small issues here and there? The important thing is they work hard to fix them ASAP! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great free marketing tool-Privy Text is fast and easy!"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Privy?

Privy is easy to navigate and create newsletters to send out to our customer base. Privy text has been easy to use as well, it's a fast way to send out messages to those who have signed up for text! Customer support is always helpful when I am having an issue, they respond fairly fast and get the job done. I like that there are ways to segment my emails as well, especially when I wanted to resend out a sale reminder, but didn't want to include those that have purchased in the last few days. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Privy?

I wish there were more creative and professional-looking template options for newsletters, they look very amateurish. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"We Love Privy!"

5/5

What do you like best about Privy?

Privy is a great tool for any business to have! My favorite things within the platform would be:

1. How easy it is to make updates

2. Their very helpful and attentive team

3. QBRs are THE BEST!

They know how to support you, make suggestions, and help set you up for success. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Privy?

I have not found too much not to like! I would say that if anything, having a more organized dashboard would be great, but outside of some minor organizational platform changes that meet our needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Privy has been very easy to use whilst being in-depth and robust enough to do the most"

5/5

What do you like best about Privy?

Privy remains easy to use but does not let its ease of use keep it from being able to accomplish everything and more we expect from its promises. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Privy?

If I had to find something to dislike, it would be the layout, it takes a little bit to get adjusted to, but once you've adjusted, it all makes sense. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Really great for creating newsletter campaigns and gathering emails from sign ups on your website."

5/5

What do you like best about Privy?

Newsletter campaigns and the ability to create aesthetic pop-ups on your website shop. I like to use the column tools in the newsletter edits to add text and images to create compelling emails. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Privy?

The price depends on which subscription you choose and how many email sign-ups you have, so the bigger your brand grows, the cost does as well. That might be the only thing I dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Privy:

Start with the trial. Guarantee you'll love it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Privy solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is solving my email list problem that I had prior to Privy. I was using mailchimp, but was not able to customize it as much as I could now with Privy. It's an amazing tool to have. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
