Squadhelp is just a fraudulent company. They cheat you buy selling coins and simply reject your domains with fake and so called Expert reviews. Will always show 0/13 Expert Reviews even for domains that have a good appraisal value (manual). Their Expert review system is just an automated process to reject 92% of the names randomly. If you check their inventory or domains which are already listed/approved - they could be of worse quality than the ones which were rejected for your account.

The review process is another joke. If you submit manual review for your Names it will never be attended to. You should only wait for weeks and then months without any progress. If you contact their customer support - they would just give copy/paste reply.

I would suggest all to stay away from these fraudsters and save your hard earned Money, Time and unwanted headache.

Squadhelp has put in a lot of effort to develop a nice interactive platform but they don't seem to be sharing a fair bit of revenue split with their creatives and maybe that is why creatives are not too motivated to give more time and send better entries. I paid USD 645 for my project which ran for 10 days but I was unable to shortlist any domains so I didn't get any value. The contest should've remained open till I was able to select a domain. Thanks

Terrible experience.
I would advise no one to use squadhelp.
The service they provide is extremely unhelpful and a waste of money.
I was given false information by a couple of their customer service agents.
They behaved and acted like salespeople saying anything to convince me to use their services.
It was a complete waste of time.
The names they come up with are garbage and most of the names you can't use because they either have a trademark or the domain is taken.
Such a pointless useless service.
I would not recommend this company to anyone.
Find a different company to use.
Worst company.
Do not use Squadhelp.

Creatives please keep away it's a waste of time, and effort

They take your money (10$) ideas, time and they give you disappointment (in a destructive way)

I joined as a creative and all my ideas were "no thank you" and my domain names (. Com) where rejected.
And other ideas were not rated
When I searched I found people writing the same scenario!
So it's not a coincidence
So please don't let anyone trick you

There are no guidelines for how the logo designs should look when they are submitted. SquadHelp will disapprove your design without any mention as to why. Logos are not easy to make and they take a long time so if you're a designer who doesn't use a template for your logos I'd suggest not wasting your time.

I picked a beautiful name through the contest, however it turns out that we have failed to register the trademark with the name. We chose GOLD contest for the name which includes trademark support because the trademark was important for us to choose the name. Now we can't not use our name and it was waste of money. You can do the contest but recommend to confirm with your lawyer about the trademark search.

SquadHelp has changed greatly, and their standards keep increasing. If you list a domain on this marketplace, they will make you wait 7 days before you can delist it. They will also ask you multiple times if you have sold this domain. They will also randomly kick you out of certain events & promotions. For example, I previously entered in the "Seller Marketplace", which was a domain reseller place. They randomly decided to increase standards to enter this marketplace, kicking out many people. They then tell you that you have to meet their new criteria lol. Why would anyone waste their time on this site when much better deals are on Dan / Sedo / Afternic? Joke of a site.

These thief's are selling my domain on behalf of my previous hosting who will not allow me to transfer my domain to a new hosting company of which I have a legal right to do.
I have tried to reason with them but they do not care and will not help as they are a third party!

I am a business owner who purchased the platinum package in the hope of using squadhelp to come up with a new business name.

We provided a full breakdown of our brief which included, branding archetype, audience, what emotional appeal we were aiming for... basically everything required and more.

Out of 2,100 submissions and countless messages to contestants and 13 follow up messages to everyone - we had 6 names that weren't terrible, but were still very poor.

Our team found that if we spent 1/10th that amount of time using a service like namelix.com or similar we found far better results.

These people do not understand your brand and never will. Save your money and keep brainstorming yourself.

And a shoutout to their support staff... completely incompetent.

They have kind of design competition on site and let people register as member vote for it. As a result the winner got more votes than existing members? Win by 100% I already never heard off, but this is more than a 100%? How on earth that is even possible? I just wonder what kind of vote is that? I ask them but never got the answer (maybe they are making one right now and they better because people are not stupid, they will question that very soon)

In politic it would be a FRAUD right? So it make me think why the website let the winner get away with it, only one thing i can come up with is they are working together or it actually only need one person to monitor the whole things and he just loose track and put too much votes on the winner LOL, Therefore they never have to pay for a price because the winner always themselves that way they don't even have to pay a cent for all the attention and publicity. How smart is that? Work out just like a fraud TV shows. It's a great sample of one of many great idea that should never be done! Disappointing!

They provided the most basic logos and names possible, at final I didn't used any logo or domain and paid 1200$ horrible

Communicating via comments isn't always easy when trying to describe how you want the logo changed. Anyway to improve the feedback process between designers and contest holders would be helpful. Thank you.

I received over 1,000 entries for my competition but on reflection the answers were all 'skin deep' rather than 'profound'. I have selected a winner but I'm not convinced I will use it as my name. To really get a great answer (over just being 'lucky') will I think require a lot more deeper brainstorming

This was very easy and efficient on helping me find what I needed. Many of the participants had quality logos, images that were provided making the decision very hard. I would definitely recommend your services and price is reasonable for the services you offered along with the contests.

Trademark reports are confusing. The 2 rating does not give any real indication of how smooth or otherwise trademark process would be. With your audience testing, 1 question is too restrictive. Given that a considerable portion of your customers would be Amazon sellers, there should be the availability to only survey Amazon Prime customers.

I'm very pleased with my results. I had a limited budget and the contestants came through. I dozens of names to choose from, making it a bit difficult to pick a winner. I certainly would use Squadhelp again if I ever open another business.

Very happy with the response and quality of the entries. Especially please at the support Squad help gave me by extending my contest a couple extra days...that brough in the winning entry so, thanks too much. Look forward to starting my logo contest this week...and doing another name contest with another company we are part of as well. Thanks again Squad Help!

Despite me being incredibly detailed, there were too many entries that were way off the mark. It was exhausting attempting to review 1,100 submissions. We didn't ultimately use the name we selected, but it was very close, and served as inspiration for the one we decided on.

Naming a new business is a very difficult task. There are so many facets to it: available domain, will it be easy to spell, will it have branding ability, etc. Squadhelp contest tackled all of this for me. Well worth the money I spent. Now I can move on to getting the business off the ground!

We had a very good response to our contest with hundreds of names to choose from. We did select a winner but ultimately ended up using a completely different name for our business. This process definitely helped us get to an end result.

We are over the moon! We received so many excellent, high-quality logos. The designers were absolutely incredible and Squadhelp's platform is so awesome. You have no idea how much this meant to us. What an incredible DEAL Squadhelp is. We will be back!

This has been the best experience I have had when working with a company to assist my company. Your platform is fantastic, easy to work with and provides valuable information at the right price point.

Everything was very well-guided and I felt like I had the tools needed to create a good contest and get good results. Only suggestion - it would have been nice to have examples of good vs. bad briefs readily available without having to read an entire article.

I've used SquadHelp several times. Receiving so many responses sometimes can spark another concept or idea. I'd like to see the website being more responsive and faster... the layout, design, and function of the website being less cumbersome. Otherwise, the overall experience and process work well.
