Climbo Reviews

I was first surprised that they used AppSumo to attract web marketing professionals. The license sold on AppSumo was only $50, but it allowed them to connect with digital marketing professionals, to whom they later offered a lifetime license for $3,000. Since the amount was very high for an LTD, I took it as proof of their seriousness and high ambitions for future product development. So I purchased a lifetime agency license. For 10 months, disappointments followed one after another. Little to no development, countless lies, too many bugs to use it with our clients and license prices that kept dropping over the months, falling to less than $1,000 in early January 2025, when they were supposed to stop selling them during April/May 2024.

These are dishonest and greedy people who take agency owners for fools.

Climbo was not GDPR-compliant, despite what they claimed in 2024. I requested a refund for this license, as the service does not have the characteristics that were advertised.

To keep it brief, I won't detail the automations that don't work, the promised AMA video sessions that never took place, the roadmap contributions that served no purpose, the slow-paced developments, the VAT that was integrated into the price I was charged when buying the agency white-label license (there's no VAT in my country), the misleading FOMO announcements about lifetime licenses that were supposedly about to be discontinued in favor of annual licenses exclusively, all the broken promises, the lack of transparency, etc. I must say that in 25 years in this business, I have never experienced such a succession of disappointments, failures, and lies from a single service provider.

They did absolutely nothing to promote the sale of annual licenses. No advertising, absolutely no investment in that direction. They stopped fixing the issues and adding new features on Climbo since May/June 2024 and they used our money and feedback to develop a competing platform named DropSaaS, released in February 2025, to to lead us toward a service where there is no choice but to accept a percentage deduction from our revenue, which is particularly dishonest and stupid, since many agencies incorporate this offer into a much broader range of services.

My main purposes for Climbo were to embed reviews into a website, post positive reviews to social media platforms, and reply to reviews.

Today, I found out that none of the embedded reviews were loading on a client's website. This makes my agency look bad. Luckily, this was the only client I had the Climbo review widget on. I'm going to swap out the Climbo embeds with a different service that will hopefully be more reliable.

I feel sorry to my self for being so rude and getting into the trap ! But you did not botherd and cared.

I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with the recent support experience and the ongoing issues with my paid account. Despite multiple emails to your team, the resolution provided has been unsatisfactory. Initially, my attempts to redeem a code led to error pages, which has since been resolved by appsumo team, but revealed another pressing issue by climbo. I have discovered there are no noticeable differences between the features offered in the free and the paid accounts. This is unacceptable and not what I expected when I decided to invest here, You would have charge us $2000 charges earlier but being honest. why to come up with a cheap upsell strateg this manner !

I really wanted to like Climbo. I see its great potential, but it lacks some features crucial for beginner users. I encountered issues immediately; I couldn't create any clients due to issues that seemed puzzling. It appears that most of the essential features require a hefty investment of $3k and becoming an agency. Testing it with my own business and a recently finished client, I found that emails sent from their site went straight to spam. While I understand that adding a domain is a white-label feature, having emails marked as spam at the base price is problematic. Overall, I believe opening up a few features at a lower price point would make it a great product.

So i love the concept. Climbo has amazing features and has been built really well.
For $49 its a steal.

I would of wished that the creators had extra options in AppSumo.
So Plan 1 could be $49 with the current features
Plan 2 could be add your own domain $99
Plan 3 could be add payment gateways $1149
Plan 4 could be add all of the features for $2499
You get the idea

As I would of like to be able to add a custom domain to get started then upgrade to the LTD for all features.

But to be able to get a LTD on the full system for $2997 is amazing value, It would of cost me far more to develop my own service like this.

I plan on selling this product to local businesses as soon as i have the funds i will purchase the LTD from them. I just hope its still available when i do have the funds
