“I love that this program is easy to use and understand”

Henry Y.
9/12/24

I love that this program is easy to use and understand. However, it should be clearer that the subscription price goes up after 2 weeks and you will be charged a significantly larger amount after that period.

“Completely a Scam! Paid $2 for a pdf and secretly subscribe you for $40/month”

Ivy Y.
11/16/24

I paid $2 to download one pdf and turned out they automatically subscribed me for $40/month. Don't tell me it's transparent, when they charge me every month, I never receive a invoice nor receipt. Just charge my visa until I found out months later. Such a SCAMP. It is even more expensive than Adobe pdf editor. No not ever give your credit card number to it.

Very smooth software and purchase. I feel like the monthly plan is more than I would use and wish there were a per document fee.

Reason I chose this business:

It offered a trial period at a low price. It looks to have all the functionality I'm looking for.

This is advertised as free but you must pay $1.95 to use. Billed every month for $40, that is too much.

Reason I chose this business:

Because I have an assignment due and I HAVE to use a program to do it.

It was a great price 2$ for single use in my case but you allow 14 days for 2 dollars. Great offer. Wish it was free though

Reason I chose this business:

This other plan gave me some 1 month free trial BS then 15$ a month. I like this single item purchase

This service is DECIEVING. Small pricing hides the real details. I got tricked by the FREE words and the low cost big text. Luckily I reviewed my credit card statement and found the abusive charges.

Tip for consumers:
Deceptive company. If a class action lawsuit is filed I'd sign up

This company is crazy. They hide charges in tiny print at the bottom of the plan box with a $1.95 14-day trial plan at the top of their "most popular plan", plan box. I was willing to pay the $1.95 for the 14-day trial to convert 1 document and canceled my plan the same day so I wouldn't forget to cancel within that 14-day trial and be charged some crazy amount for something I never use. I double-checked that it had been canceled(it had been), and there were several plans offered. The "Most Popular Plan" was only $7000/month! I had to look at it twice to make sure I was seeing that correctly. I was. Then Paypal emailed me to let me know I had made a purchase. I was charged $1.95 and then $39.95 for the subscription. I contacted Customer Service at PDFSIMPLI to have the charge reversed; and they are now refusing to refund the extra $39.95 charge they charge in addition to that $1.95, stating they are clear that I would be charged $39.95 for a month after my 14-day trial. I don't call tiny print at the bottom of the page, clearly stated charges.

Tip for consumers:
Terrible customer service.

People spend a lot of time in a document just for when they try and download it, they must PAY with no warning before hand. It is sad that this app has to do this to make money. HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE

Hello,

Thank you for leaving us a review. Registering to our website, editing and converting is completely free and so is downloading the text version of the document in our editor.

To download the file in all other formats or print the converted document, then an active paid subscription is needed, which you can cancel at any time. Our product is very competitively priced when compared to our competitors.

To try our product for free only for one file, you have to choose the “Delayed” option and wait 24 hours for your document Or pay for our 14 day trial (for $1.45 or $1.95) to get your file immediately.

Thank you,

PDF Simpli
