I love this software because it makes my business life so much easier!

Overall, very happy with my experience with Crove.app!

PROS

I love this software because it makes my business life so much easier! Crove.app makes it possible for me to automate complicated business documents with just a few clicks. It also saves me so much time because I can create templates that are always up to date with my latest changes. With the help of this tool, I have more time to focus on my business and less time on paperwork.

CONS

I don't have much that I dislike so far, but as this tool polishes, I'm sure it will catch up to PandaDoc or DocuSign.

Reason for choosing Crove

A monthly payment fee is associated with these products.

Reasons for switching to Crove

Lack of API access, it only allows 25 credits for my plan.

Vendor Response

I enjoy Crove more and more each month (Early adopter/user)

As an early adopter, when I first started using Crove (an older version) the UI used to be a little rough, with bugs here and there. Their prompt support, and frequent updates was what kept me on the platform.However, I'm so glad that I stayed!For what Crove accomplishes and streamlines for our team and clients, and for how far they've come, this is one of those "I'm so glad I didn't sell my Google stock in 2010" situations. :) I'm proud to use it at this point, and are confident when recommending it to your clients.

PROS

Custom regex functions, being able to minutely change the size and in-between spacing for text-block variables, conditional words and paragraphs, and much more.Forms are amazing. I haven't used anything else that beats the field customization you can do, independently of the document template itself, which is outstanding. Not much for branding control (colors, logo, etc.), but whitelabel is coming soon on their roadmap. This will be nice, but Crove has come such a long way with its UI and overall branding, that I don't mind people knowing we use it. It's polished. This is one of those apps that make your company and team look better, and positively influence client's perception and experience, for using it.Support is responsive, prompt, friendly.If you don't want to get complicated, it's easy to use their software as a beginner.Embeds work flawlessly, and are wonderfully-responsive to device sizes. You can whip up your own iFrame if you choose to, and it still embeds beautifully within that.The access variables and options are clear and easy to control.Probably a lot more I could add, but these are my main points.

CONS

Everything that I had issues with in their past V1 (I was an early adopter/user), has been fixed in their current V2, so I can't think of anything.That's rare! I just really like it.I guess my only con is waiting for new features on their roadmap to be released. And, that's not because they haven't been fast and timely with new features, updates, and fixes, but only due to my impatience. We use and/or test hundreds of SaaS and software each year, and Crove stands out as one that has shipped the most updates and new features, overall.

Reason for choosing Crove

Same reasons as to why we switched from Documate.I don't like paying first-to-market prices for legacy companies with outdated UI or systems, when we now have options to go with more modernized, and less-cost solutions like Crove.

Reasons for switching to Crove

Traditionally document generation solutions (as well as eSign) are overly-complicated, siloed (meaning they don't easily connect to other apps), and very expensive.Crove solved all of these issues for us.

Great potential but not ready

Although the concept is great and it shows a lot of potential, the current condition of the software is half useable. It was frustrating to use and edit. So I believe it's the speed of improvement and development will be the major factor.

PROS

The concept is excellent Automation capabilities Simple and straightforward UI Good document generations limit It's a robust tool once the issues (in Cons) are addressed

CONS

Buggy and clunky (at least at the moment) Cannot handle heavy PDF files Limited templates

Really convenient tool essential for every entrepreneur, business, freelancer

I have been looking for a long time for a better alternative to Webmerge-Formstack and really really glad I found Crove as it is super efficient, convenient to use, and provides even more options, with conditions logic etc. * Here are my use cases : - sending letter automatically by email from any form submission, with signature - sending personalised ebook with my client name and details - sending the pdf summary of a coaching session with the answers filled in by my client during the coaching session in the pdf as well as their name details. - sending personalised results of personality test by choosing the pdf corresponding to the personality type and fill it in with name and details of the client. - many others. I am already using it for simple and more complex processes and the support has been really helpful and responsive, an amazing tool, really! Finally I can implement more! :) Thanks!

PROS

Very convenient, essentiel for any business. It integrates with Integrately, Zapier, Pabbly, KonnectzIT, + Webhooks and API, so you can take input from any form (I use Paperform or Landbot with integration with Integrately) but any others will do, Crove also includes an internal form to have a all-in-one process if you prefer, and you can pretty much do everything related to PDF personalisation and automation.

CONS

There is one feature I needed as I run personality test and need to use severla pdf in one process so more complex, but the support has been great in helping me find a solution on how to implement mu use case and also updated their roadmap. Great support!

Reason for choosing Crove

I found Crove simple, could find directly how to implement simple to complex processes. Couldn't with the others.

Reasons for switching to Crove

Crove has more features and options. I like very much the conditions on page, different type of variables for block or inline text.

Vendor Response

Excellent Document Management & Automation Solution

I needed to be able to create templates, share the links, and have my reps, clients, and prospects fill them out, with pdf documents generated when complete. I've been researching between several document solutions for about a week. I stumbled over Crove and was surprised that I had not heard of it so I created a test account and started playing around with it. Crove seems very plain and simple when you first login. At first I had the impression that it did not have the features that I required but I was wrong. Behind that simple UI, Crove is robust with features and logical based behaviors. The workflow between creating documents and forms is seamless. The features set is very robust, and the shareable forms are beautiful and modern looking. It has just an overall great experience. I knocked out 5 document templates in about an hour, with some other similar tools it was excruciating trying to match the fields and get it looking professional. With Crove, it only took minutes. Super fast and responsive support. The future development plan looks good, with Webhooks, Pabbly, Integromat, and Integrately support currently in the works.

PROS

Clean and Modern Looking Forms Simple UI Quick and Easy To Learn Robust Feature Set Logic based automations Webhooks E-Signing Supportive Staff

CONS

Crove is a young product and but it currently has a feature set that leaves little to be desired for our company's use cases. I would like to see a few more document design options and a more options for document templates.

Vendor Response

Hello There! Thank you so much for your detailed and clear review! We are glad that you liked the UI and took the time to explore the features! Such reviews motivate us to continue building and improving the product to bring more value to the user. Thank you once again!
