We used DelightChat for about 3 years and overall it served its purpose reasonably well during that time. The platform was decent for our needs though over the years we noticed a big lack of innovation and updates compared to other solutions in the market. Pricing used to feel fair, but today it feels expensive for the feature set offered, especially considering the slow progress in new functionalities (AI, automation, etc.). The reason for the 3 stars — and not lower — is because our main issues happened during the exit phase, which was honestly quite disappointing. 1. Unexpected extra charges: We discovered we had been charged over $150 USD in the last three months due to contact overages. There is no clear or easy way to view contact count/usage, and since billing runs through Shopify, it slipped under the radar initially. The lack of transparency here felt very “sneaky.” 2. Canceling equals losing paid time: We canceled our monthly subscription expecting to use the remaining paid period until renewal, but instead we immediately lost access — meaning we paid for days we couldn’t use. This felt unfair and like wasted money. 3. Unused balance non-refundable: We also had funds inside the platform for marketing messages, which we couldn’t withdraw due to a strict no-refund-after-7-days policy. Again, money lost. In summary, the platform itself works, but it’s falling behind competitors and can become costly for what it offers. Most importantly — be extremely careful with billing, overage charges, and the cancellation process, as the offboarding experience was frustrating for us. If you never need to leave the service, maybe you’ll be fine. But for us, transitioning out was unfortunately far from smooth.

The features all sound great. I was confident that once we setup, that this would have been the application that we would go with to support our customers and more. But trying to setup Facebook and Instagram would complete with Facebook DM and Instagram DM. They couldn't figure out how to use it while I waited to message with their support once per day and see that it might have taken weeks to get a fix. If you are in the USA, beware that there hours are the opposite of ours and you will only be able to send and receive a message once per day, unless you stay up all night to answer them. I feel that they dont know the tech side of the product so well. The lady that we dealt with was very nice and accomodating in the onboarding call, but that is not enough to ignore that the product would not setup properly. If you try it and all sets up well from the start, then I would go for it. But I wont waste many days in limbo whil they "might" get it fixed.

over it is a satisfactory experience, but the system of whatsapp group was more approachable and easier for queries
