[Overview](https://www.softwareadvice.com/influencer-marketing/respona-profile/) Reviews [Alternatives](https://www.softwareadvice.com/influencer-marketing/respona-profile/alternatives/) # Respona User Reviews ## Reviews summary - Overall rating: 4.8/5 - Total reviews: 63 ### Secondary ratings - Ease of use: 4.7/5 - Customer support: 4.8/5 - Value for money: 4.7/5 - Functionality: 4.7/5 ### Rating distribution - 5 stars: 54 reviews (86%) - 4 stars: 7 reviews (11%) - 3 stars: 0 reviews (0%) - 2 stars: 0 reviews (0%) - 1 star: 2 reviews (3%) ### Most mentioned pros - How Respona seamlessly integrates prospecting data with personalized email campaigns massively reduced our workflow complexity. - It saves a ton of effort by combining accurate prospect discovery, automatic follow ups, and verified contacts all under one tool. - Respona has significantly cut down the amount of manual work we had to do, freeing up our resources to manage even more active campaigns. ### Most mentioned cons - One small issue I noticed is that once you've launched a campaign, you can't edit the email templates directly. If I spot a typo or minor issue later, I need to pause the current campaign, duplicate it, then relaunch. - I followed up today, Dec 7, and they said that "I mentioned I would handle it with my bank (I told my bank to monitor all charges and not let any go through if possible) and that I deleted my account so they could no longer "investigate"--- which I assume means investigate what excuse to manufacture next as to why they charge people without consent. - Needless to say, none of these messages were requested and no subscription was ever made. ## Respona customer reviews Showing reviews 1-25 of 63 (page 1). ### Does What It Says - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Jeremy R. - Industry: Computer Software - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: less than 1 year · weekly - Reviewed: September 2026 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically.

Results are mostly quality and good dashboard monitoring. Does what it says and a lot of good templates so you aren't starting from scratch. #### Cons Lifetime credits are used before monthly credits which seems backwards. Despite spending credits to weed out lack of quality still sent to some clearly irrelevant emails like a small town fire department. --- ### SEO Specialist - Overall rating: 1/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Industry: Marketing and Advertising - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: a free trial · daily - Reviewed: August 2026 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically.

No incentive was offered Respona has provided me with an outreach platform based on organic, genuine outreach that isn't received as spam. I get real responses and I can tell that people are receiving my emails and viewing them as if they are genuine. Other than just sending naturally via my chosen email provider, I've struggled to find something that can do that for me. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros We've been using Respona for a few months now and I'm really digging it.I tend to stick to organic practices and I like to have my outreach appear authentic when sending them. Respona allows me to do that but on a much larger scale. I've enjoyed it immensely and can't wait to use it more and more for new clients, campaigns, and strategies.On top of the great platform, [sensitive content hidden] has been tremendous in onboarding us, helping with any questions, and even checking in to make sure we're doing okay.Love it. Thanks Respona!-Darcy from DarcyAllanPR.com #### Cons Honestly, at this point, nothing stands out as something I dislike about Respona.The platform has checked all the boxes for me and it's been the solution I was looking for in launching organic outreach campaigns. --- ### Great email outreach tool with multiple handy automations - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Artiom P. - Industry: Marketing and Advertising - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: less than 1 year · weekly - Reviewed: February 2024 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Great tool so far, takes a lot of guess work and manual work out the way. Few bugs here and there but not critical once you get to know the tool. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Lots of features for automating outreach Multiple pre-built automations for popular outreach methods Lots of AI features for quicker campaign building #### Cons Lack of advanced settings in automations for more granular control Interface is a bit buggy and laggy Less focused on getting manual data in --- ### Used software for years- had my account hacked twice and was charged without consent as a thank you - Overall rating: 1/5 - Reviewer: Freya L. - Industry: Marketing and Advertising - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: 3-5 years · daily - Reviewed: December 2024 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered They have since reached out to me and tried to resolve the issue by providing the remaining refund, so I appreciate that customer support tried to resolve the issue in the end. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 1/5 - Value for money: 1/5 - Customer support: 1/5 - Functionality: 1/5 #### Pros Absolutelty nothing. Since leaving, I have realized they are pretty over priced compared to alternatives and their "support" left a bad taste in my mouth. I have never seen a business behave like this and take 0 accountability. #### Cons To start my account was hacked and $495 was debited by the hacker. I was the one who told them I think my account was hacked because the usage did not match. I don't think I ever received an apology. Their brilliant solution was to enable 2-factor authentication. When I asked how to do that, they told me I had to upgrade my plan because only the next tier can use two-factor authentication- I obviously did not want to upgrade so they could have basic security for user accounts. I was then hacked the next day again and charged $10- 28 times ($280) and a charge of $775- again their excellent security is what you want to be using with your financial details. This was a total of $1550. They did refund this amount to me. I asked for all my financial details to be deleted, and very coincidently, they could not be without my entire account being deleted. After all of that, I started going through my billing records and realized I had been charged $49 extra without consent from March of this year to September of this year. I did not track this software charge since I had been using them for so many years among multiple software companies I have to pay for. My big mistake was trusting them in any capacity. I asked them to refund that and I have a feeling because they knew they charged me the extra a long enough time ago, they did not bother refunding it and instead strung me along. I asked for proof of any update I was given that the charge would be increased or any consent of mine that I gave to increase the charge, and they did not have anything to give me. I asked for this on Nov 15. Eventually, I asked for my account to be deleted because I did not want any data to exist with them. I followed up today, Dec 7, and they said that "I mentioned I would handle it with my bank (I told my bank to monitor all charges and not let any go through if possible) and that I deleted my account so they could no longer "investigate"--- which I assume means investigate what excuse to manufacture next as to why they charge people without consent. I have attached a PDF of pretty much all my charges here including some of the chat "support" I had the pleasure of receiving: [sensitive content hidden] Basically go anywhere else if you value basic security and honesty.
