"Disappointing Experience with Setapp's Support"

1/5

What do you like best about Setapp?

I was going to use Setapp for the wide range of tools, including cleaning up my Mac and the virus protection features. Installing was easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Setapp?

Setapp is not solving any problems for me. I was not able to get the application to work. Customer Support - I received an error message that my laptop had previously used a trial, however when I reached out to see if they could fix it the response was a clear no - for a 7 day trial, I would have thought it would be easy to restart it. I'm hesitant to spend money with someone if that is the service they provide when they are trying to win your business. The support experience should be accommodating and welcoming, which it didn't feel like. I didn't feel valued as a person, which is also something that could be improved on. Installing was easy. I didn't get the error message I referred to until I downloaded one of the apps, which is really, really annoying. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A different kind of subscription"

3.5/5

What do you like best about Setapp?

Setapp is a software subscription that allows Mac users to access software for day to day issues, without breaking the bank on the most recent updates or versions.

I like that I can try things out and only use what's most useful to me right now, so I don't have hundreds of useless programs lurking around.

It's easy to download and I can keep it on my navigation bar to go directly to the site or load what I've already chosen.

While it was not an issue when I first signed up, at this point in time, I'm glad that it is a Ukraine-based company and I can feel that I am supporting Ukraine. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Setapp?

The main drawback is that I sometimes forget to check what's new and I might miss something that could be truly helpful, or spend time noodling around what's potentially interesting, but doesn't really solve a problem.That latter issue is my own, though and not Setapp's.

"Decent solution but inflexible and buggy pricing implementation."

1/5

What do you like best about Setapp?

Easy to purchase for the whole team. Save time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Setapp?

We purchased the team version, however, due to the team churn, our seat has decreased 33%. However, Setapp cannot provide a refund or reserve future credits. And even if we have extra seats, we still need to purchase extra devices for the existing users.

Also, we encountered 1 bug. We were unable to assign a seat to a member who had expired the invitation before.

What's more bizarre is that we first canceled next year's subscription and contacted customer service to decrease our seats. We see our seat is decreased (no refund BTW), however, the subscription is toggled to renew again.

I wanted to recommend this to other teams. However, the entire pricing drama is depressing. Not professional. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hello there,

We appreciate you sharing these insights with us, as it helps us better understand your experiences and concerns. We understand that communication within teams involves not only support but also sales and dedicated Customer Success Representatives, and we're working to ensure that all aspects are aligned seamlessly.

Regarding the team version and the challenges you faced due to team churn, we apologize for any inconvenience this has caused. We do acknowledge that our billing policy may not currently allow for partial refunds in the event of mid-year team reductions. While team size increases are accommodated without issue, reductions may follow the next billing cycle. We understand this may be limiting, and your feedback is noted.

It appears there might be some confusion regarding member seats and device seats. Member seats are invitations for team members and cannot be repurposed as additional devices for existing members. This distinction is in place to ensure the integrity of team roles and licensing.

The bug you encountered preventing the assignment of a seat to a member with an expired invitation is concerning. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by this issue. Our team is actively investigating this matter to ensure smoother seat management in the future.

We're sorry to hear about the inconvenience you faced when canceling next year's subscription and adjusting seat numbers. We'll look into why the subscription toggled to renew after cancellation and make sure such situations are resolved moving forward.

We appreciate your intention to recommend Setapp and are committed to addressing the pricing and subscription issues you've raised. Your feedback is invaluable in shaping a better experience for all users.

If you have any further insights, questions, or suggestions, please don't hesitate to share them with us. Thank you for your patience and for being a valued member of the Setapp community.

"A Pocket Full of Wonders"

5/5

What do you like best about Setapp?

There's an app for just about everything. Think of it like having a whole toolbox at your disposal. Maybe you just use a hammer, but you have a job for a rubber mallet. It's like you have a magic toolbox, you just reach in there, and suddenly you have a rubber mallet at your disposal. I'm more productive on my Mac because of Setapp and all the bundled apps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Setapp?

Nothing. Great app and service. In a perfect world, maybe it would include an extra computer with the default pricing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Setapp:

If you're someone who likes to find new tools or systems to solve pain points or make things more efficient, Setapp is perfect for you. There are lots of things that I use daily, and a few apps that are lifesavers on the rare occasions you might need them. Instead of searching the web for some sketchy utility, I know I can trust the apps in Setapp. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Setapp is an amazing toolkit. It bundles a bunch of apps and utilities that solve daily problems, plus the occassional jobs that come up. It provides a great suite of apps for a great monthly price. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Complete tool for your daily needs"

5/5

What do you like best about Setapp?

I like that I have access to many valuable applications in a single subscription. It's like having a treasure trove of tools that help me with everything from editing and design to time management and coding. I like the wide range of different tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Setapp?

Sometimes I wish there were more specialized options. It's not as flexible as I'd like it to be. Support is sometimes slow when bugs are found. Sometimes it is slow to load the information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Setapp Pays for Itself"

5/5

What do you like best about Setapp?

Setapp have consistently added new apps. I've discovered found some really useful utilities I didn't know I needed. Even if I only use them occasionally, it's great to know I have them available when I need them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Setapp?

The only downside would be having to switch back to individual product licenses if you closed your Setapp account. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Setapp:

Check how many apps you use that are available in Setapp. If it works out cheaper to join Setapp do it. Even if there are only a couple of apps you currently use in Setapp you will likely discover full versions of many other applications you will find useful, Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I've been a Setapp user since it was first available after I figured out the cost of licensing the individual Mac apps I was using at that time totalled more than the price of a Setapp licence making it a no-brainer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
