EmotiveReviews of emotive.io

Avoid this awful company - the 1 star reviews are all true. Not only that, when you become a client they bribe you with gift cards to leave them good scores on TrustPilot and G2 crowd. Don't believe me? They only have 1 or 5 star reviews on here - and all the 5 star ones come in waves when they do campaigns, and all the accounts leaving the reviews have only ever left a review for them, no history... coincidence? Not clever. Just review fraud. Anybody who has experienced the monthly minimum charges, change your card number and go through the chargeback process with your credit provider. You will all win the appeal and these crooks will finally be hit in the wallet.

Emotive is hands down, bar none, the worst company I've ever had the pleasure of working with/being stuck in a contract with. I've never been treated so horribly by a company, let alone one that I paid over $100k to. They do not care about their customers AT ALL, all they care about is collecting their next monthly payment. They also implement policies that are borderline illegal, or have become illegal since after they implemented these policies. For example, they will auto renew your annual contract, one worth $40,000+, without a single notification, email, or confirmation that this is happening. Which is considered illegal now, but unfortunately it became law after my contract renewal. I reached out one week after it was renewed stating that I did not want to renew my contract, and Emotive told me nope, we'll be collecting our $40,000 no matter what, even though what we did is now illegal, it wasn't at the time. Also, the clause in my contract about renewal WASNT EVEN IN THE CONTRACT. The contact had a small link to "additional terms", in which the auto renewal without notification terms were buried. Again, this one is borderline illegal and definitely unethical, and by design. And they stated that they'd rather get lawyers involved than let me cancel my contract because I missed the cancel deadline by 5 days. On top of that, they charge more for inferior tech than their competitors. If you're considered Emotive, run for the hills, please. This is a horrible, horrible company. As an ecommerce owner who's bootstrapped to 8 figures, I've been screwed over and locked into some terrible contracts, but no company I've ever worked with comes close to comparing with Emotive. I've never worked with such a terrible, unethical company. I can't stress enough how much I dislike emotive, and will be more than happy to elaborate on my experiences if any potential future customers want to chat.

Beware... New Updated Info: The below response to my review from Emotive arrived after I had a lawyer reach out with a "Cease and Desist" and had not heard word back from them. I was finally able to receive a refund but had a lawyer to do so. There were so many loops we had to jump through we actually found out we had been incorrectly billed even more than we initially thought. Emotive constantly tried to confuse us and seemed to barely have a grasp of their own contracts (or were blatantly lying to try to avoid refunding us). Original Post: We have had 3 very serious issues with this company 1. They initially encouraged emoji use and did not clarify EVERY emoji was billed as an MMS, essentially quadrupling what we thought we were spending. Did nothing to rectify the situation for us but finally added something showing how they’re charged 2. We were not happy with the service as we constantly kept have what felt like sneaky charges being added. We also found a cheaper more known brand that consolidated sms and email. They basically would not allow us to cancel essentially slashing rates to nothing to keep us. This infuriated me that we’d been so screwed on pricing for the past year. Also - they forced us to keep our contract the remaining 10 months paying $200/month. (Annoying but I should have been more diligent understanding our contract). 3. THEN 6 months into entirely not using the service they charge me a random $20 for a “carrier fee” and have absolutely refused to refund. Emotive is a scam or desperate for cash. Either way stay far, far away. There are so many reputable companies with better pricing.

Very easy to set up and run simple campaigns. Analytics lets you assess how campaigns perform clearly. No issues so far.

Emotive has been a great asset for us to run our SMS marketing campaigns. Our Success Manager has been very proactive and helpful, providing us quick solutions when we have issues and consistently sending us ideas for campaigns.
