This app is predatory. THE BELOW PLANS ARE FAKE! They charged me $368.70 for the month based on usage. At the bottom of the description to download the app it says the pricing plans of $26.90, $39.90, and $66.90 a month. THE APP DOES NOT HAVE THE POSTED PLANS. Instead it charges based on usage for the month. I do not even have a live website yet. All I have done is browse products, see how the app works, and find things I want to eventually sell. They charged me $368.70 for the month.

I like how Auto DS makes it easy to search for products to sell, study product data compiled by Auto DS to see which products would be a good fit for your store and finally, upload the products to your online store. All of this is done in place.

1. Charged $390.16 for usage during FREE trial period 2. Possibly some FAKE 5-star Auto-DS reviews: after writing this review, we noticed lots of short, 5-star reviews, claiming complete satisfaction and ease of use. 3. MONTHLY plan billed annually means no refund for unused months or login capability if cancelled. That's unlawful unjust enrichment. 4. Only got 14 products to sell: claimed variations of the 14 products counted towards 500-product limit. Unlawful bait and switch. 5. Fake or inaccurate product supply numbers. Most products were out of stock right after being listed, requiring daily inventory management and daily new product searching. 6. Made $0.00 the entire time from 9/13/24 to 11/29/24. 7. High-priced shipping for even lightweight items the entire time we were using the platform so prices weren't impacted by recent strikes, new tariffs, etc. 8. Low inventory and miminal options from U.S. Suppliers in our niche. Mainly China-based suppliers so most had 14 to 21 day shipping times. Auto-DS ad said differently. 9. Lots of non-wholesale prices 10. 1,000 (and counting) emails re: out of stock/price changes. 11. Inability to unsubscribe from emails once canceled. 12. Had to agree to a new plan for same time frame to access app again once we canceled 13. Repeated login issues before the cancelation 14. Confusing pricing tools: Lots of pricing errors that would've sold trending products at a loss. 15. No unique or "scroll-stopping" products in niche. 16. Hidden fees (i.e.the need for additional "credits" on top of in-app charges and monthly subscription) to fulfill the orders. 17. App was hard to use. 18. Still required more apps to compete. 19. Shall I repeat: we made no sales from 9/13/24 through 11/29/24. 20. Pricing analysis and strategies for individual products were hard to find. 21. Limited, argumentative, and/or belligerent support. 22. Lots of known issues 23. There were OUTDATED help topics and tutorials. 24. There are more issues that we encountered but we can't list them all. We tried to stick it out as long as we could to make our money back and to see if the advertised hype and ads by affiliates were accurate. We just couldn't take these issues anymore. Business to business, we tried to discuss some of these issues BEFORE writing this awfully negative review. After declining a partial refund or months "free" or mentorship, they refused to refund us fully. They also threatened to charge more if we didn't uninstall the app. Rest assured, uninstalling the app was ONE thing that worked!

I would recommend it because it helps me with the fulfillment part of the business, which is a huge advantage as it gives me time to manage other things.

Products are nice but internal product delivery needs improvement. They need a truly automated inventory, payment processing and order processing mechanism that operates without monitoring by the store owner.

Not a big fan. Very expensive with limited products. Lorain was a great representative, however. She was very fast and helped immediately
