Overall Satisfaction with Podium

Website is nice and sales people are sharp. Decided to give them a try for 30 days to see if their platform could perform. Didn't do what they said it would do for me so I canceled. Was billed for 2 more consecutive months with no services rendered. Contacted support, after searching for how to contact them. Support said they would refund the charges. Weeks later I messaged them through their chat and all they said was my case and account was closed. I asked about the refund with no response. Now I am disputing through my credit card company. Customer service makes or breaks a company. I believe, with what I have seen so far this platform will not last long.
  • Website is sharp
  • Customer service is horrible from my experience.
  • Cancellations terms are sketchy I feel.
  • Lack of contact information on website.
  • Negative ROI. Spent $500 more than expected with no return whatsoever.

No

Yes

Would you buy Podium again?

No

Not for small business in my opinion! I can pay for similar apps for $30 to get automated reviews and business chat does not make sense for small businesses in specific industries, mine being one.
