Pays off eventually.

£90/mo for what's basically a glorified spreadsheet, idk. The $8 flat tier is a trap, you'll outgrow it in a month.

Their support actually reads your message before replying which is a shock in 2026. Honestly worth every dollar I've paid them.

Love this thing

Pricing is honest at $180/yr with no weird upsells popping up every single week.

Priya was great

Jordan walked me through the import on a Tuesday at 3pm and it just worked first try. Fine, I guess, but better than fine actually. The dark mode doesn't hurt my eyes at 2am when I'm shipping late and that matters.

Clean and fast

Esen in onboarding is a legend and I will defend them in any room. The dashboard loads fast even with thousands of rows which my old tool used to choke on.

The onboarding slaps

Mid at first, then it clicked once I set up the automations and now I can't go back.

Setup took ten minutes

Keyboard shortcuts are everywhere and after a week I was flying through my work faster. The free trial was long enough that I actually knew what I was buying before paying. fr this is the first tool my boss hasn't complained about in two years of trying stuff.

Legit.

I recieved my refund in under 24 hours when I accidentally double-paid for two seats. Jordan walked me through the import on a Tuesday at 3pm and it just worked first try. Would recommend to a friend without hesitation.

Priya was great

Didn't expect much for $12/mo but this app does more than tools I've paid five times for. Lena fixed my sync issue on a quiet Sunday which blew my mind a little. Took me alot of trial and error with other tools before landing here and this one stuck.

Not thrilled, not mad.

Honestly the admin console feels unfinished and nobody at the company seems to care. The editor is sharp but thier dashboard looks like 2014. Nope. Billing is still broken.

Hard pass

The free tier is bait, you need the paid plan for anything real. Was told the bug would be fixed on the next release, it wasn't. Billing promised a credit a Thursday deploy, still waiting.
