Unannounced Renewal Price Increases of 250–300%

critical overage

Multiple verified customers report price increases of 250–300% applied at renewal with no advance notice or justification. One 5-year customer reported going from $140/year to a renewal demand of $450/year and stated JivoChat support told them the company does not care. A separate reviewer described a 300% increase with no transparency. Smaller year-over-year increases of $20–$30 were reported even before the large step-changes.

trustpilot

I went from paying $140 a year to now they are trying to charge me $450 a year.

This company abruptly increased prices by 300% for existing users with no notice or justification, a serious breach of trust.

11

No Refunds on Annual Plans

JivoChat does not offer refunds or pro-rated credits when cancelling or downgrading an annual plan. Multiple customers report being denied any recovery of fees even after minimal use. One user paid for a full year for 5 agents, used the service for only 14 days, and received no refund.

NO REFUNDS. NO PRO-RATED CREDITS. CRAP TERMS OF SERVICE POLICY.

trustpilot

Jivo Chat will not refund any money (I paid for 1 year for 5 agents after looking at all of the Jivo Chat Features that are not actually there, used it for 14 days and no refund for any portion of the money paid).

Telephony and Video Call Modules Are Separate Add-ons

low addon

Telephony Plus ($4/month) and Videocalls ($23/year) are sold as separate modules and are not bundled into any core agent tier. Teams requiring full voice and video communication face cumulative add-on costs layered on top of their base agent license.
