Not even a good working product. No free trial, $40 after the first two weeks. Very dishonest marketing, dishonest pricing, and customer service persons who are fully aware of this and happy to take your money because of a loophole.

Hi,

Sorry for the inconvenience and confusion. PDFSimpli works with a subscription based service which you can cancel anytime. However if not cancelled within the agreed 14 day period it will renew into the auto subscription. Based on the submitted picture, our support team is asking you to drop the dispute with PayPal. This is requested because while the dispute is active the PayPal system will be locked in a way that will not allow a refund to be reflected back to your account. If possible please contact PayPal about it in order to have the communication reinstated. This way our support team will be able to assist you with your request. Also, by reinstating the communication will NOT allow us to charge you again as your account is completely cancel. Once the communication is active please contact us at support@worksimpli.io and we will gladly assist you.

Best Regards,
PDFSimpli

Watch your Bank Account!
February 13, 2024

It took me 3 times over the course of 6 months to get the subscription cancelled! I kept seeing the charge on my bank account after cancelling online, then trying to cancel through Apple Pay because it was what was used to purchase the trial. When I saw the charge come through this month I was livid. I called them and finally got through an actual person and demanded a refund and immediate cancellation. Don't trust them. Make sure you get a confirmation direct from them you had cancelled otherwise they will continue to charge you their subscription fee monthly hoping you don't catch it and it slips through. Shady bastards with poor business ethics is what they are.

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to us. We appreciate your feedback regarding your recent cancellation experience.

If you had canceled through our site or any of the methods listed below, you would have received this automated confirmation email.

Regarding your mention of canceling through Apple Pay, we'd like to clarify that we don't currently have an app associated with PDFSimpli, which is why canceling through Apple Pay isn't an option. Our cancellation process requires users to manually close their accounts either through our website, our 24-hour chat support, our customer service phone line, or our support email.

We apologize for any misunderstanding on your end and want to ensure that you have the necessary information to close your account successfully in the future. If your account remains open, it will indeed auto-renew, similar to any subscription service.

Please feel free to reach out to any of our support channels mentioned above if you need further assistance with canceling your account or have any other questions. We're here to help and committed to providing excellent customer service.

Thank you for your understanding, and we appreciate your business.

Best regards,
PDF Simpli Team

I did use their service one time and paid with my credit card. I did not see any notice that they would be charging me on a monthly basis. However, one month later they billed my credit card for $39.95. I called them to complain, and they became very aggressive and said I had agreed to the monthly charge by using their service one time. I advise other people to stay away from this vendor. It is just another scam or fraud to get your credit card number. And, they're not located in the USA which is a big red flag right there. BEWARE!

You all did a "bait and switch."
August 6, 2024

You all did a "bait and switch." Your advertisement, via Google, stated that the editing would be "free of charge" which is why I gave it a try. However, as you know, once I had completed my editing I have to enter my financials to retrieve it!

Hi,

Hope you are doing well. Thanks for sharing your review with us. Registering to our website is completely free and so is editing and converting. If you would like to download or print the converted document, then an active subscription is needed. You can use our 14 days trial for $1.95 to download the converted document and if you are not satisfied with us then you can cancel it any time before 14 days.

You can upload, edit and convert any document - 100% free. To unlock the ability to download all file formats, you have to pay $1.95 for a 14-day trial. The trial is no risk and we do offer full refunds on all charges for 30 days after the initial transaction date. This is actually a new approach to our product offering and we would love any additional customer feedback if you have any.

You can try our "Delayed" Option and wait 24hrs for the download of one document, free of charge. Let us know if you have any questions.

Sincerely,

PDF Simpli

Entente avec PDFSimpli non-respectée
December 18, 2024

J'ai voulu résilier mon abonnement et être remboursée. J'étais dans mon droit puisque ça faisait quelques jours seulement et j'avais jusqu'à 30 jours pour annuler. J'avais payé avec Paypal et le remboursement se faisait donc sur Paypal. Voilà qu'une notice m'indique que le remboursement a été effectué et pourtant, un remboursement de.30$ seulement au lieu de 57.95$ figure dans mon compte en banque relié à Paypal. Je n'ai jamais eu de problème ni avec Paypal ni avec mon compte en banque. Alors, conclusion, je vous attribue la faute.
J'attends toujours des explications.

Not only did they falsely advertise their "Free" service but they bait and switch you once you've spent all your time editing your document and at the last second tell you oh by the way its $2 for 14 days of access. Which granted is not that much money but for a website that advertises as a "Free PDF editor" it isn't actually free. In their plain language on the website it says "Free PDF editor. Easily Upload, Edit, and Download." This would make the common consumer think that the download is also FREE. Don't use this website. Don't pay them your money. They should be sued for false advertisement.

What an annoying and underhanded company! After I complained they offered less expensive plans, but without asking how much I was likely to use it or if I was a business user, they set me up with a plan that's almost $500 a year!

Advertises itself as a free pdf and signature editor, but then you are required to pay to download your PDF. There is no free trial option. The 14 days trial still has to be paid for. Also, the application is slow. I had to click on the text feature a couple of times before it worked for me. Definitely not going to use this moving forward
