Horrible. We left Appstle for Recharge, thinking we'd get better functionality, and that was a big mistake. We went from spending $30/month to $800/month, and we have gained nothing. I thought Recharge would take care of problems, but they don't. They give you a chat bot that tells you to go read every troubleshooter they have on file. I am positively filled with regret. :-(

Worst support. I had the rep Matt A. who was definitely the most inefficient and lousiest rep who either had no training at all or was just completely clueless and irredeemably stupid. I've had many stores where I had the legacy widget integrated easily within 1 day. Of course, Matt made me lose many days of the free trial on a new store I installed this app on, and failed to deliver a simple thing I needed done. I uninstalled the app. Due to Matt A.'s inefficiency, I switched over to Loop. It's much better and their support is top tier. I don't see recharge competing with them in the months to come. Long Loop.

ADVANCED FEATURES FOR WHICH YOU PAY EXTRA AREN'T ACTUALLY WORTH THE MONEY! The Recharge sales team focuses much of their effort on upselling you to additional, so called "advanced" features that are not included with your regular plan. After having used these tools for a number of weeks we've identified that they are absolutely not worth the money that you're paying. Failed Payment Recovery - sounds great on paper! But when you look into the analytics you'll notice that there is quite an extensive list of "charge errors" for which this feature doesn't actually work. When we contacted support to ask why the Failed Payment Recovery flow didn't trigger after a customer's payment failed - their reply was: "this specific type of charge error is not covered by the Failed Payment Recovery feature, please contact the customer manually by sending them an email and ask them to update their payment method". It's good to know that you are paying for automation to take place only to be told you have to send an email and contact customers yourself.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS APP IF YOU ARE OK WITH NOT RECEIVING ANY SUPPORT AND LIKE BEING IGNORED. We've complaint multiple times about the shocking performance of the customer portal that Recharge offers. One customer service representative replied to confirm it's all expected behaviour and when we contacted the sales rep, the person that locked us into a 12 month contract for this app, he's just decided to go completely quiet. Not a single response after 3x emails that we've sent. As said before, if you like being ignored and have zero expectations in regards to getting help with fixing issues that are extremely crucial to running your day-to-day business - go ahead, this one is for you!

I’m extremely disappointed with the level of support provided by this company. For the second time, a visual element related to their widget has appeared unexpectedly and randomly on our website, severely disrupting the layout and directly affecting our user experience and sales performance. What’s even more frustrating is the lack of urgency on their side. This issue has now been live for nearly 48 hours, and we are still without a proper fix. Despite repeatedly flagging the problem and stressing how critical it is to our business, we’ve received no meaningful updates today, not even a basic acknowledgment or timeline. I’ve had to chase them multiple times, and each time I get the same vague response, with no real sign of progress. For a company offering tools that integrate directly into customer-facing websites, this level of support is unacceptable. Issues like this demand immediate attention, not delays stretching over several days with no communication. I’m honestly shocked by how unprofessional and unresponsive their support has been. If your website performance and reliability matter to you, I would strongly caution against relying on them.

If you’re considering using Recharge, I highly recommend thinking twice. At first, I was excited to get started. Recharge promised to be the solution for managing subscriptions on Shopify. But what I got was a clunky experience, minimal support, and a lot of wasted time and money. Let’s start with the so-called "Account Manager" they assign you. Honestly, they were just as clueless as I was. Every time I had a question or needed guidance, I was redirected to a generic help article. The onboarding support was practically non-existent. I was left to figure out most of the setup and troubleshooting on my own. And again, for what they charge, you’d think they’d actually walk you through the process or at the very least offer solutions that didn’t require hours of guesswork. When I expressed my frustration and asked to cancel, I was met with a hard no and a boilerplate explanation about policy. No attempt at real resolution, no willingness to acknowledge that the platform was not meeting my needs. They tried to “make up for it” by offering an audit, as if that would undo the weeks of inefficiency and stress. It felt like a hollow gesture, not an actual solution. At that point, I had to notify my bank to block future charges and uninstall the app myself just to put an end to the mess. The platform didn’t improve my business, it drained my time and energy. If you’re a growing brand looking for real support, transparency, and results, I would strongly suggest looking elsewhere. Recharge might work for some, but in my experience, it was all promise and no delivery. Do better.

RUN FAR FROM THIS AND FIND A SOLUTION THAT WILL ACTUALLY PROVIDE YOU SERVICE. Of all the apps we've worked with, this one is BY FAR the worst experience we had. We had to lock into an annual agreement that ended up costing a lot of money and there's no way out of it. If you by chance have a bad more or bad year, they will collect and sting you no matter what. When you try to get service or a rep, it was nonexistent unless it had something to do with renewing your annual agreement. Do yourself a favor and at least try other ones first. I won't mention other names on their page but there are others out there and it will save you so much headache and money using one that will provide you service.

El closer de ventas me mintió me dijo que se puede hacer todo con recharge. Resultado... no se puede hacer justo lo que le expliqué en la videollamada y ahora me obligan a pagar 500$ al mes durante un año. Una estafa, no se preocupan nada por el cliente, no puedo usar la aplicación porque no hace lo que necesito y no son capaces de anular el pago. Que clase de términos y condiciones tienen vuestros contratos? El cliente debería ser el primero siempre. Una vergüenza.

I signed a contract with Recharge and came to find out just a couple days later during our first implementation call that the app would unfortunately not work with my store's existing membership/discount system. I immediately reached back out to my sales rep to see if there was a way to make it work, and when there wasn't, I asked them to cancel the contract. They have refused and are charging me $500 per month for a year for something that was never even implemented in our store. This is so unethical, I cannot believe they would enforce this when nothing was even setup and no costs were incurred on their end. I explained that the app's features won't allow it to work with our existing membership system and they have refused to let me out of the contract. It's not like I took a bunch of their engineering time and set up the whole system and changed my mind or jumped ship to another app. The app is literally not even installed in my store and was never setup to be operational to begin with. Be very careful signing contracts with unethical app developers. I got burned here and never imagined someone would treat me this way! There are many other subscription apps who told me they would never treat a customer this way given what happened here.

The Analytics Have not been working since end of day Jan 25th(today is Jan 29th) , and not a single email from them explaining what's going on. Full 24 hours after they stopped working they uploaded a small banner on the analytics page saying they're working on fixing it. Didn't respond to any tickets. HORRIBLE at communicating issues. Also WTF? How can analytics be down for 3 full days? And 2 of them are work work days too. I have never seen a software fuck up this bad.

The most poor customer service ever, never helpful. They have never been able to help on that chat

Was not using this app and had no idea it was charging me monthly for over a year.

They reached out to upsell me on an additional service (Rewards), and said that they would help me set it up before launching. I agreed, but didn't realize the contract I signed said I would start paying right away. I found out 8 months later that I'd been paying $200/month for something I'd never used. My fault for not reading the contract and just believing the sales pitch. When I reached out to explain, they told me I should feel lucky that I don't have to pay more because I'm on a legacy plan.

Pricing is just retarded. There is zero reason for there to be a transaction fee on each subscription. Whoever made this app randomly chose that number because it looks like it does something. the only thing it does is line his pockets.

My customers haven’t been able to subscribe since the update and recharge price went up but I’m not seeing the benefit , also I did the upgrade multiple times and the day the switch happened I was notified I had not successfully done the switch. Not impressed

Since 2018, we’ve relied on Recharge, but the unexpected price increase and the lack of care and communication with our business have diminished its value. Like many others, I was not informed of the planned price hike, and the dismissive response I received when I inquired confirmed that it was time to move on. This rating reflects the poor service and communication. When we first started offering subscription services, there weren’t many great options available. Fortunately, there are now more affordable and customer-oriented alternatives that allow us to move forward without Recharge.

Bad service and way overpriced! Beware. This company only cares about the $ in their pocket. EDIT: You can return funds charged with ZERO justification. Nothing justifies 400% increase. Especially when it is not specifically agreed to. You support can make it right but your company is greedy. So besides replying to this review with nonsense - you won't do anything.

Bad service...

All of a sudden increased their price from less than 10 dollars to 100 dollars without notifying their customers, when contacted, they are not willing to provide a refund.

Edit: NOTHING YOU SAY IS GOING TO JUSTIFY $25 to $100!!! STAY AWAY. THE WORST EXPERIENCE WITH AN APP ON SHOPIFY I HAVE EVER HAD. We are a small business that started using recharge last year. The charges were % based and worked ok for us. We spent around $5-25 monthly for the app. We were not aware and did not receive the emails regarding price change. We found out later on when viewing bills - that we are charged $100!!!! USD every month while we only have under 20 active subscriptions. This is a 500% increase in the fee. If this is not stealing - I don't know what else to call it. There was no reasonable explanation provided besides shoving their "terms" in my face. Horrible company with even more horrible people running it. BEWARE!!!
