Absolutely Awful! I am still awaiting a response to my email requesting my money be refunded!

Hello,

Thank you for your review, and we’re truly sorry to hear about your frustration. After a thorough review, we located an account associated with the same email address used to leave this feedback. This account began a 14-day trial period on July 3,2025. As outlined in our terms of service, our trial subscriptions are set to auto-renew unless canceled before the trial ends.

During this time, the account was actively used to convert images of paystubs (in. Jpg format) into PDF documents. The subscription was later canceled via PayPal on July 24,2025.

We understand how concerning unexpected charges can be, and we appreciate your patience while awaiting a response. If you have not received our reply, please check your spam or junk folder, or reach out again to ensure we can assist you as quickly as possible.

For further support, you can contact us directly at [email protected] or call us at 1-844-898-1076. We’re here to help resolve any remaining concerns.

Best regards,
PDFSimpli

Nos esforzamos por brindar transparencia y control total sobre las suscripciones, y estamos aquí para ayudar a nuestros usuarios en cualquier momento.

To assist you promptly, you can cancel anytime and reach out to our team directly. Here's how to get in touch:

Incorrect charges and abuse
August 3, 2025

I signed up for a temporary service for one euro, and surprisingly, after a few weeks, I received a €49.95 charge on my card, without knowing what it was for.
I requested a refund by email, and after 72 hours, I still haven't received a response.
Shameful!

Hello,

Thank you for your feedback, and we’re truly sorry for any frustration this situation has caused.

Please note that our service begins with a trial subscription (e.g., €1), which automatically renews at the full subscription rate of €49.95 unless cancelled before the trial period ends. Based on our records, we did not receive a cancellation through our system, but we can confirm that a cancellation was later submitted via PayPal. That cancellation stops any future billing.

If you have not yet received a response to your refund request, please reach out again to ensure it was received. You can contact us directly at [email protected] or call us at 1-844-898-1076. We’re here to assist and resolve this as quickly as possible.

Hello,

Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear about your experience. Based on our records, we did not receive a cancellation directly through our system. However, we did receive a cancellation through PayPal. The charge was processed on July 21 at 2:01 PM AST, and the cancellation request via PayPal was received later that same day at 3:58 PM AST.

Please note that while the cancellation through PayPal stops future billing, it does not retroactively void a completed payment. If you need further assistance or would like us to look into a possible refund, please don’t hesitate to contact us at [email protected] or by phone at 1-844-898-1076. We're here to help.

Scam Artistry
July 27, 2025

You should be legislated out of existence. Maybe a class action might work. It's just a scam marketing funnel dressed up as a business.

Hello,

We take accusations like this very seriously and strongly reject your characterization of our service. PDFSimpli is a legitimate, fully transparent business used by millions of customers worldwide.

Our website clearly states that while certain tools may be accessed for free, downloading, saving, or additional premium features require a paid subscription. This is disclosed before any payment is made and again in the confirmation email after sign-up. Nothing is hidden or deceptive—we encourage all users to read the terms provided.

It's disappointing to see such inflammatory and unfounded language being used in a public forum without first contacting our support team. If you have concerns about your account or billing, we’re available 24/7 via [email protected] or by phone. We are more than willing to help resolve any legitimate issues, but spreading false claims helps no one.

Best regards,
PDF Simpli

Hello,

Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear about your experience and want to clarify that all subscriptions can be canceled at any time through the account settings. We also offer 24/7 support via email, phone, and live chat to assist with cancellation requests.

According to our records, we have not received any prior cancellation request from your account. If you need assistance, please contact us directly at [email protected] with your account information, and we’ll be happy to help you cancel and review your billing history.

We take these concerns seriously and are here to make sure this is resolved properly.

The title says it all. Tiny upfront fee that you think is great to convert a PDF then the undisclosed $49.95 a month hits and you get to spend hours on the phone trying to cancel it, file credit card disputes, and get refunds. Don't get fooled like I did.

Hi,

We provide a risk-free trial period during which full refunds are available for all charges within 30 days of the initial transaction date if cancellation is overlooked. Should cancellation not be initiated, billing will continue as per the agreed terms, which must be accepted prior to commencing the trial. Participation in the trial is voluntary, and charges are not imposed arbitrarily.

PDF Simpli works with a user based system in which every user must choose the trial plan where it is explained that the account is for 14 days and due to an automatic renewal upon not canceling within the trial period. Also, every customer receives these details in the email once the account is created. Lastly in order to activate your account you must have agreed with the terms and conditions where the auto renewal details are once again provided. We hope this can be of assistance.

Email: [email protected]

Sincerely,

PDFSimpli

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out and sharing your concerns. We understand your frustration.

When you sign up, you begin with a 14-day trial that automatically renews into a full subscription unless canceled within the trial period, as outlined during registration.

If you believe you were charged in error or would like assistance with a refund request, please contact our support team at [email protected] or call us at 1-844-898-1076. We're here to help resolve this as quickly as possible.

Hi,

We’re very sorry to hear this, and we completely understand how upsetting this situation is. Please know that it’s never our goal to make anyone feel misled or taken advantage of.

When you signed up for the £1.95 trial, it included a 14-day trial period that, unless cancelled, automatically renews into a full subscription at £49.99 — this is clearly outlined during the sign-up process and also sent in a confirmation email with all the terms (We took the liberty of forwarding that email so you can review it). That said, we know how easy it is to miss these details, especially when you're just trying to complete a quick task.

If the app didn’t work for you or you didn’t intend to continue, we want to help. We offer a 30-day money-back guarantee for unexpected charges, and we’d be happy to review your case further.

Please contact us at [email protected] or call us at 1-844-898-1076 — we’re available 24/7 and will do our best to resolve this fairly.

Thank you for sharing your experience — we truly want to make things right.

Refund policy
July 17, 2025

I went to your website looking for a way to convert a pdf doc to a word doc.
Apparently, I signed up for a business account without knowing I did.
I was charged $49.95 on my credit card.
When I requested a refund I was told it was past 30 days and I could not get a refund.
I explained I didn't sign up for the business plan, actually didn't know I even signed for any plan.
No confirmation was ever given that i purchased your product. Terrible business practice!

Hi,

We’re truly sorry to hear about your experience, and we understand how upsetting and frustrating this must feel. Please know that it’s never our intention to mislead or leave our customers feeling taken advantage of.

Our subscription process includes clear information during sign-up, and a confirmation email is sent immediately after registration, outlining the trial terms and renewal details — including the $49.95 charge for the business plan. That said, we understand how easy it can be to miss those details, especially when you’re just trying to complete a simple task like converting a PDF.

Regarding the refund, we do offer a 30-day money-back guarantee for unexpected charges, and we’re genuinely sorry if your request fell just outside that window. Even so, we’d still like to see if there’s anything we can do to make this right.

Please reach out to us at [email protected] or call us at 1-844-898-1076, and reference your account details. Our team is here 24/7, and we truly want to help resolve this in the fairest way possible.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention — your feedback matters, and we’ll use it to keep improving.

Hi,

Hope you are doing well. 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 or $1.45 to download the document and if you are not satisfied with us then you can cancel it any time before 14 days and you’ll only pay once.

We provide a risk-free trial period during which full refunds are available for all charges within 30 days of the initial transaction date if cancellation is overlooked. Should cancellation not be initiated, billing will continue as per the agreed terms, which must be accepted prior to commencing the trial. Participation in the trial is voluntary, and charges are not imposed arbitrarily.

PDF Simpli works with a user based system in which every user must choose the trial plan where it is explained that the account is for 14 days and due to an automatic renewal upon not canceling within the trial period. Also, every customer receives these details in the email once the account is created. Lastly in order to activate your account you must have agreed with the terms and conditions where the auto renewal details are once again provided. We hope this can be of assistance and clarify any doubts on how our system works.

Please reach out to us by phone 1-844-898-1076 or by email at [email protected]. Response time may vary, to 24 to 48 hrs.

Sincerely,

PDFSimpli
