Bait and switch operation. Was assured they had qualified and proficient vehicle wrap designers while not one vehicle wrap they have sent us actually fit as their design shows.

Horrible experience. Horrible onboarding. Terrible design work. A different designer on all of the work for the same product with design inefficiencies. You have to email in slack. Terrible response time. They don’t do copy. Go to go flocksy they have the same design team, copy etc. and better ratings. Also they locked me out of my files: one project was not made accessible to me. I sent them countless emails. This was a horrible experience. They also gave no record or accountability of hours spent on projects. I am with Flcoksy now so much better. Easier platform. A coordinator that responds. Followed directions and a clear record of your hours at all times. Design Pickle was the absolute worst!

We tried working with Design Pickle and unfortunately had a very poor experience. A single 45-second revision took 3 days and required multiple rounds of corrections. The initial thumbnail they delivered even had my eyes closed. When we asked them to follow our branding guidelines, the “fix” was literally adding a green box to the thumbnail. What made this worse is that this was a sample project they offered to demonstrate the quality of their service. Based on the delays, lack of attention to detail, and the overall buggy software experience, we decided it wasn’t a good fit and politely let them know we wouldn’t be moving forward. The next business day, we received an email saying we hadn’t paid for the sample they had originally offered for free, and that they owned the rights to it and we needed to remove it immediately. We complied right away, but honestly, it felt unnecessarily petty and unprofessional. Between the pricing, the workflow issues, and the overall experience, this was one of the worst vendor experiences we’ve had, and I would not recommend working with them.

The cost of the work keeps on increasing and the quality of it is going downhill tremendously along with the time that it takes to receive a design.

I had a very disappointing experience with Design Pickle. The overall quality of the work is extremely low, especially considering the price point. Most of the designs delivered felt rushed, generic, and often unusable for any real marketing or professional application. The workflow is also terrible. You frequently wait hours—or even days—just for someone to acknowledge or look at a job. On top of that, you’re expected to provide about 75% of the creative direction, assets, and layout yourself, only to receive a turnaround that still misses the mark and feels like low-effort “junk” media. What made the experience worse were the grimy sales and retention tactics. When trying to leave, there were clear attempts to pressure or corner you into staying, rather than addressing the core issues with quality and service. That alone was a big red flag. At the end of the day, this service feels like something worth maybe $100 a month at best—and even then, only if expectations are extremely low. I would not recommend Design Pickle to anyone looking for reliable, professional design work. There are far better alternatives out there for the same money, or less.

horrible. and they bill you and don't send receipts with the hopes that you forget (I did) and then won't give you a refund even though they know you didn't use the service.

Extremely Disappointed! I signed up for design pickle on a plan that supposedly provides 8 hours of daily design support. Over time I noticed productivity dropped so I tried to check the hours worked on my account. I was actually surprised that there was no client facing time tracking or hourly breakdown at all.When I called in to ask my rep told me the hours were "proprietary" and viewing them couldnt be shared. Despit their pricing being based on hours this raised a red flag. later she scheduled another call just to "show" me the hours worked and all she did was share a google doc she wrote up manually. noy system tracking no transparency. completely unprofessional and borderline fraudulent. to make things worse when I first signed in December, I was transitioning from another agency where I had been working. I was taking the same clients with me, which was a greed upon. But design Pickle refused to start my new account until I paid off a $13,000 balance that the previous agency owed them. I wasn't even the account holder yet I had to pay their balance to contunie using the same service with the same clients because "it would look fraudulent in their system" using the same customers that were on another account with a owed balance. I was just starting my bsuiness and had no chouce but to pay to avoid disruption. after all that they still made me pay my own first month's fee short after. I tried to escalate this and explain the situation to management and c-level execs but nobody cared. Eventually I cancelled and honestly I dont regret it! If you are looking for a professional, transparent service, this is not it.

Buyer beware! They make it very difficult to cancel your account (I tried twice, and have a screenshot of second time) and they continued to charge me. Quality of design work was sub-par as well for the most part. Not worth the money and the dishonesty/trickery to keep you paying subscription fees are next level unethical.
