Crowdspring Reviews Summary
Crowdspring has 87 customer reviews and ranks 487th in the Graphic Design category.
One of the things that drew me to Crowdspring was the percentage of award money the designer receives. I think that's important. The amount of designers and number of logos we received for the amount we spent was crazy! We were thrilled with the number of submissions--almost made it too difficult to choose! Hah! Thank you for a great experience! We will certainly recommend your site.
Received way more designs than I thought I would. Great designs just kept coming from the beginning to the end. The hardest part was picking out of all the great work everyone did. I would like to thank all the designers for their ideas.
This process was great! I have used Fiverr and wondered if this was going to be a waste. HONESTLY, I will not go straight to Fiverr anymore because of the ease of this site as well as the different artists showing their best work vs. ONE artist.
I tried to use CrowdSpring as a consumer and paid for submissions for a company name. It was a horrible experience. I wrote a long brief about my company and what I was looking for that was ignored by virtually every person who submitted. Most of the names looked randomly generated. It was awful. Users are supposed to submit their reasoning for why they're submitting a name. 99% of my submissions had no reason or meaning. You could give them ongoing feedback but all of mine was ignored during the 7 days my project was live.
Their website is splashed with the words "complete satisfaction" and "money back guarantee". When you actually submit a project, they hammer home that you should "verify your project" which forces you to waive the guarantee. The "project verification" is supposed to give you much higher quality submissions but is really just a way to avoid reimbursing you because they know the submissions they receive are very low quality. Honestly, the things I received were laughably bad and they refused to give me a refund.
Crowdsourcing is not design, let's just get that straight from the beginning. If you really believe that an individual desperate enough to participate in these sites is a real designer, you'd be wrong. If you believe they have ethics and integrity, you'd be wrong. If you believe you're going to have the opportunity to enter into some collaboration with someone who's producing work for free in the hopes of an award, you'd be wrong.
However, of all the sites with this abysmal model, crowdSPRING tries at least to do it right.
So, in short, if you are too cheap to pay a real designer and too ignorant to understand what a designer actually does (or you just don't value what they do), crowdsourcing will be just the thing on which to waste your money.
Rude, insulting and liars. Very frustrating. Site is full of bugs, my feeling is anyone working here is doing it as a side gig.
Great service. Great Concept. I loved working with their designers. I would recommend it to anyone. I did wish they had over the phone support thuogh but overall very cool!
