The free plan is not free, it ended up charging me automatically, without any consent $49 USD, on the premise that you have new customers signing up or purchasing from you. If you're going on the free plan, make sure you have no customers, otherwise they are going to charge you absurd amounts for customers.
If you're going to have automatic payments, you can atleast automatically upgrade me to other plans when you meet the payment threshold for those plans. I would've gotten 20x the value just buying the $49 subscription.
I was robbed.

As we had exceeded the 100 free 'active customers' (not orders) we were required to select a subscription plan to avoid the app being disabled, which was fine as we were happy with it up until this point.
But during this subscription plan process it stated that we had to 'approve' a $3,000.00 amount they could potentially charge up to automatically from that point forward. While we were extremely ALARMED by this significant sum it REQUIRED us to approve just to select their cheapest plan, the popup window said we would be able to amend it in the plan settings afterwards, so we reluctantly went ahead and approved it in order to activate the necessary subscription.
When we immediately went to lower that amount to something more reasonable, like a $30 limit, we were HORRIFIED to discover that it will NOT allow you to set an amount lower than $3,000.00 !
After urgently raising this issue with the app developer, and pointing out to them that the 'active customer' metric has absolutely no relation to actual paid orders being made, meaning any successful marketing drive we make to bring more visitors to our shop and encourage them to register as customers, could result in us being exposed to crippling fees AUTOMATICALLY charged by their app regardless of whether we had even made anything like the sort of paid sales which would allow us to cover these costs, their response was this:
1 - 'Sorry, but this billing method works for us'
2- 'Maybe if you disable that particular feature you're using it for it would count less customers as active'
3 - 'Trust us'
After a lengthy back and forth where I explained the problem and why a vague 'active customer' metric is not useful, nor relevant to a shop's justification for spending on an app's fees, whereas actual orders would be, and stating that a 'Trust me, bro' answer to what is a potential $3,000.00 liability is not acceptable, they ended up just saying we can export our data and install a different app.
Which is what we're now doing.

GIANT unjustifiable price increase. This app had lots of reviews because it had a free plan that worked. It was super minimal. Now they want to charge $29+ a month for the same MINIMAL feature app. Just download another one.
There isn't much branding options. No editing of emails or email reminders. Literally no actual valuable and needed insights whatsoever. This app was great free but it isn't worth it as a paid app. There are a number of other paid loyalty apps that are worth paying for because they provide actual features.
They kinda are off their rocker to think they can charge more than other apps and provide the bare minimum of any other loyalty app. If they added robust features and analytics I would have stayed and paid but it's wild to pay that for no features whatsoever.

It is completely unreasonable to charge your customers $399 a month in order to change the text within the storefront widget. This is a basic customisation that should be available in at least all of the paid plans. There was no communication that paid tiers were even introduced into the app. When we installed the app it was free.
