Issues with New Plans


I have been a Typeform client for several years. We were on what I think was the pro plan.

Typeform sent to me an email telling me I should switch to their basic plan (under the new plans), which I did, but it messed up ALL OF MY LINKS!!

I have emailed them several times over the past week now asking them to fix it, but no one has responded.

I have loved Typeform, but with this clear deception, and terrible customer support, I don’t think I would ever recommend someone to use Typeform. 

I am curious to know if anyone in support is aware of this deceptive behavior and if anyone is even interested in changing it?

I am pasting below some of the conversation. 

 

This was the initial email I received

 

Hello,

 

Firstly, you don't have to do anything and can continue on your Pro plan at the same price. 

 

Why new plans?

The new plans are shaped around giving you maximum access to all our features no matter what level your business is at. Then once you grow, your plan can grow with you.

 

Based on how many responses you receive each month and which features you love using, we think a Basic plan would be perfect for you. It’s even cheaper than your current plan. 

  

Our Basic plan lets you:

  • Create as many forms as you'd like with unlimited questions and up to 100 responses (you can add up to 750 more)
  • Take payments and receive file uploads from your respondents
  • Make the most of popular integrations like Mailchimp, Zapier, and HubSpot for connecting your workflow

All this, together with unlimited use of advanced features such as Logic Jumps, Hidden Fields, and multiple ending screens.

 

Want even more? With our Plus plan you can also remove Typeform branding, then add team members to work on typeforms with you.

Thanks and stay safe,

 

Team Typeform

 

 

I then changed the plan, and then it messed up all my links. When I wrote to them, they wrote me this

 

Thanks for your email. 

The issue here is that you had been using a custom subdomain, a paid feature, and then you downgraded to a free plan. As you downgraded the paid subdomain feature was removed and now all forms are located at https://forms.typeform.com/ using the generic "forms" subdomain, rather than your previously used custom subdomain. 

To use the custom subdomain again will require an upgrade, then this guide will explain how to update this - Add a custom subdomain to your typeforms

Thanks a lot for reaching out, if you need anything else you can check our help center for some great articles and how-to guides.

Have an awesome day!

I then responded with 

 

 

Hi Kean

 

I received an email from you telling me that I should downgrade. 

 

So I followed your advice and now you are telling that I need to upgrade and pay more money.

 

Please return my account to the way it was before. As soon as possible.

Thank you,

 Aaron

 

Since then, I have not heard anything. I did reach out them them again, but nothing.

Just spoke to a little bird who said your old plan has been reinstated. :dancer_tone4: I’ve been told that you got to customize your domain again in your settings - hope that’s the last trick to get everything back up and running :bird:

Hi again @Beach Yogi :wave_tone3:

You should have received a response from our support team by now which I hope helps with your situation. 

I agree this was not a great experience for you. Things don’t always go the way we expect, but we’ll always try and fix things for you if the circumstances allow us to do so. 

Any other questions let us know :vulcan_tone3:

Thanks for getting back to me. I was at my wits end to get this situation handled. 

I received an email back saying the account had been reversed, but sadly when you click on a typeform, this error is still showing up. 

 

Can we please get this resolved?

@Beach Yogi - were you able to get this resolved by the support team at Typeform?

I think it happens due to the fact that  a) there is a time lag in the ‘reconfiguration’ process for re-instatement OR b) that due to the shift/change in plan structures that are happening this month, the reinstatement process did not flick the appropriate switch on the forms due to “plan confusion” (ie i am on Pro and i don’t really want to lose the features in it at the moment to when i need to shift to the higher plan in the new structure) 

let’s hope they get it all worked out.. soon .. and to your satisfaction

Hey @Beach Yogi . The safest hands at the moment are those of our support team - they will look into this I’m sure. I’m hopeful they will manage to get this working. If a solution exists, they’ll find it :no_good_tone3:

Yes, thanks. It took a while, but we finally got there.

I would STRONGLY advise typeform to:

 

  • be a little more transparent when letting people know they can change their plans with no problems
  • get back to customers a little more quickly. 

Thanks!

Noted @Beach Yogi . We’ll definitely take this opportunity to learn and improve and make sure this doesn’t happen in the future. 

Glad you got this sorted in the end.
