The most common Visually complaint: support
Absolutely avoid them. This has been one of the worst experiences I’ve had with an app. After installing their code, it caused major issues with our Shopify store. Orders weren’t coming through properly, and tags were being applied incorrectly. I reached out and asked for the code to be removed, but even that didn’t resolve the issues. Eventually, I went ahead and removed everything myself - only…
The most common Shoplift complaint: price
The product itself works as advertised. We like the fact variants load without the original-page flash you get with some client-side testing apps. Two reasons I uninstalled. First, pricing. If you run a high-traffic store, the session-based cost gets very expensive very quickly. In our case several times what comparable tools charge. Check the maths carefully against your own traffic profile…

Billing disputes, broken stores, misused data and missing features. Each one is a single merchant's account.

It's unfortunate that we've had to leave a bad review for this app. We were looking for something easy for our team to A/B test product images. After believing the misleading advertising and description that the app will allow us to test "EVERYTHING" in minutes including product images, we went ahead and installed the app. After struggling for a week to set up a simple image test we booked a…

Didn't had the change to run split-tests because bugs. $99,- gone for not even live with the app. First of all, the app is buggy and not worth the cost. It is connected to an outdated theme, and I didn’t even have a chance to try it properly. I tried to run a split-test but for some reason it grab the outdated theme. There is no live chat. I will try Intelegems.
