MeetFox Reviews

I'm very excited about this alt Zoom + calendar booking & billing platform. I thought it would solve some issues for me. Still trying to get a few things figured out. It says that it works with Outlook which was a big reason why I bought it. I don't use Google calendar which BookLikeaBoss must have). But alas, it only works with Microsoft Outlook online calendar not my Microsoft exchange server account. So that's useless. Also, I can't believe their only payment processor is Stripe, not Paypal. Stripe is considerably harder to set up and I already use Paypal for ALL my transactions. I don't need Stripe and another place where my money goes and I have to keep track of receiving it. I know that Stripe will be good for bundled packages which I see on their roadmap (that doesn't work well with Paypal) but still it's no good for me now. Lastly, like others, I was surprised that I have to pay monthly to be able to record meetings. Darn. I'm going to stick with it for now and hopefully improvements will be coming that will add more value. I want to love it.

This would be a great deal. But. Recording your meetings a thing that zoom allready does on the free plan cost an extra 10 Dollar/ month.

Its like selling a car without tires.

I can get zoom pro for that. I will check out the calender thing and see if i keep it for that or order a refund.

I started Using Meetfox about a week ago. The value-for-money and Sumo-ling reviews had me interested, and demos on YouTube confirmed what the client experience would look like. It's a great platform - quick to set-up, perfectly follows my meeting 'rules', looks neat and is easy for the client to use. For a small business (it's just me), this product is ideal.

Only two cons:

1. I could have read the detail too fast - but I did think the recording feature was included in this price... it's an easy, inexpensive upgrade though.

2. Being a communications queen, I really wish I could carry my colour scheme/logo through to the confirmation/follow-up emails, and also wish I could customise the content of the emails. Just feel this would make it feel like a more on-brand experience.

Thanks AppSumo and MeetFox for the great deal!

So happy to get this on Life Time Plan. Getting started on it. It looks to me a real awesome app. Very useful.

If Anything Is Awesome, Its Meetfox ..!

Hello Guys, I hope you are doing great, very well & in good health.

Just finished the book called "The Next Quarantine By Indian Author Ritu Vijay" avaliable on Amazon , a must tool during pandemic, what a transformation of mind amazing...You go book your copy soon...

I have seen lot many online meeting tool & scheduler but If Anything Is Awesome, Its Meetfox only ..! !

As i was watching this deal since long, and that time recording feature was included in the deal....!
Again when the new deal came (The costlier one) , i wish if Sumo-ling can get recording feature includes in this deal as well, as it was there in last deal.

I am hoping that as a kind gesture from MeetFox during this pandemic, MeetFox will provide Sumo-ling some sigh of relief by providing them with recording feature as well.
.

I highly recommend to go for this app with all confidence. You will not be disappointed.

Ms. Tali & Ms. Susanne Klepsch @ MeetFox both are great business women's, i hope MettFox will touch towering heights in one's business.

Thanks a ton to Awesome Team @ AppSumo and MeetFox.

I haven’t yet tested the video or the invoicing, so I will update my review in a few days.

In the meantime, I am a complete beginner to all these tools and a one woman band in the field of Holistic wellness, so tech stuff is absolutely not in my “zone of genius” as they call it.

I purchased Meetfox last night and it was so easy to work with that I stayed on it until my set up was fully functional and added to my Wordpress website via the links provided with each one of my services.
I was able to split my offering as I wanted to and have just received my first booking through it, and here is the customer feedback: “ Yay :) that was nice and easy to book! Looking forward to it! X“.

I was in contact with support for a couple of questions, they were very helpful and responsive and moved my account to 4 participants as per the deal.

The google calendar on my phone was populated automatically with the booking I just took.

I will do more live testing re invoices and video In the next few days.

Ideally I’d like to be able to attach a questionnaire to my bookings because the one included is very basic. I have to ask people if they’re psychotic or narcissistic, so it takes a few characters just to type that in 😆. I have an intake form and disclaimer, etc and the current format means I need to email something out separately.

When you set up your events and if your working hours will be the same for all services, go straight to the main calendar instead of faffing around like I did with x number of services before realising I could have set up my own default. What can I say, I was just too keen to play.

The limit of 4 participants might be an issue soon as I teach Aromatherapy online, so I am guessing an upgrade is necessary. Also not being able to record is a bit of a bummer, so hello upgrade again. But hey. Let’s be real. This is a very good deal I have recommended to my team.

I am a little shocked that nobody really commented about this: but the user has ZERO control over the imvoicing feature. Invoices are tax relevant documents that need to be in order. There are legal requirements to be met. Anybody ever got an audit of their company? It is not pleasant.

At the current state of development I would witch that feature off.

Features I need here at a minumum are:

- customizable invoice template
- customizable number sequences
- corrective and cancelling invoices
- EU reversed charge method

I give it 4 stars, because e solution is otherwise very neat. Just the auto-invoicing feature is, in my opinion too immature to really advertize it.

I foolishly bought this when they added this announcement to the AppSumo announcement:
⌨ Run MeetFox under your own domain with CNAME
Unfortunately, there's a $50 charge for this feature when you try to use it within the tool. When I asked support about this, she said:
"However, for a custom domain, we have to charge a one-time set-up fee as we have set-up costs ourselves and in addition, we have monthly costs associated with this. "
Anyone who has done back-end web programming knows that the domain can be accessed server-side without paying a third-party provider and the only cost would be a domain name field in their database. If they have costs associated with this, then MeetFox should pay their developers for an hour to automate it.

There was also a post from the creator saying that the rooms in this deal are for 4 people. They aren't (at least in the Pro version). They're for only 2 people. 4 Participants is an extra $50 per year. 8 is $100.

I feel deceived by this additional charge, false marketing, and disingenuous response. This is really sad because MeetFox is actually a pretty slick product. It checks calendar availability in real-time, which adds a bit of a delay to the booking process and cancellation fees are limited. However, in all, it's actually a good product. I shouldn't give more than two Tacos for something that deceives Sumolings. However, since the product is actually good, I'm giving 2.

A quick 5 taco review here.

* I purchased MeetFox.
* I added a "Schedule a meeting with me" button on my web site.
* I received an email that someone wanted to meet with me (!). They were a completely new contact.
* MeetFox prompted me with reminders for the meeting.
* I had a seamless video meeting, with good results.
* I stacked another code.

So i had a few issues redeeming my codes, but Tali was right there, the support is just amazing guys! Also the interface is clean and intuitive, the flexibility of this plan is also something rare. Loving so far, grab it if it is still available.

I have already stacked 20 codes and looking at another ten.
Just for scheduling it is great value for lifetime licensing.

Many of the negative comments are issues actually already rectified in the product.
It certainly offers far more than what is outlined. Its beauty is the simplicity.

With the custom domain pricing for a cname I think (I hope we can come to an arrangement in light of Tali's earlier comments about it depending if you were having different domains for each account) this is where you want to have each of your sub accounts running their OWN custom domain.
So this should not be the price if you have the same custom domain across all accounts.

4 guests is ample at this price point, an option to stack for 8 would have been nice.

All said and done it looks like an extremely solid product. If you stack codes its $20 a seat and a no brainer.

I really like the appliacation and it's great value but it still lacks some very elementary features.

Missing features I discovered so far:
– Interface design/colors can't be edited (you can swap the logo though)
– E-Mail messages (text) can't be edited
– E-Mail design can't be edited
– Group calls aren't possible in a paid session
– Group calls in a meeting room are possible for up to 4 persons - 16 persons cost $1120/per annum in my case
– Session via mobile doesn't seem to work on older iPhones. But it does work well with my iPhone 11 Pro.
– It's not possible that 2 persons (excluding host) in total attend a meeting.
– You can record the session. But it will be accessible to both parties. And it takes ages to be available.
– Rescheduling a meeting isn't possible (in the pipeline though)
– Editing a users information isn't possible
– The questionnaire has only text form fields (no multiple choice, drop downs,... possible)
– Custom domain is charged extra for 175 bucks (onetime payment)
– When a session hasn't started by the host yet - there is no "real" waiting room. It's a bit irritating in my opinion.
– After a session is stopped by the client, the recording still goes on until I stop it.
– iCal integration missing

Hopefully these features are going to be added in the near future.

I really wanted MeetFox to be the answer! But NOPE! I was even ready to have everyone in my office sign-up for MeetFox but my excitement quickly turned to disappointment.

1. ONLY 2 (TWO) Participants per online meeting?????? Seriously? I mean seriously! What happened to 4?

2. CLUNKY! Way too many steps/missteps. I reluctantly use Calendly and Zoom together and those two apps put together easily integrate and put this to shame.

3. So I purchased 3 codes for 6 sub-accounts and in order to add more participants to a meeting...I MUST ADD THEM TO ALL SUB-ACCOUNTS = MORE $$$ and I only have a choice of adding 4, 8 or 16 Participants. IF I knew this, I would've only purchased ONE CODE and then MAYBE upgraded....not happening.

Again I use Calendly which is much easier to set up and includes SMS Text Reminders along with multiple Email reminders along with Cancellation email and rebooking links. So once again Calendly & Zoom looks like I'm stuck with you! SMH

Like I said, I wanted to love this and yes I still want to love it! I could go on but these the above are deal killer for me, sorry. I MAY or may not request a refund, depending on a timely reply from MeetFox or not.

Good luck!

I love Meetfox! It is clean and easy to use. The combination of calendar and meeting is useful and simple. The questionnaires help prepare for the meeting. The roadmap has a lot to look forward to. Especially I am waiting for the whiteboard.

The support is great and fast. They didn't even hesitate to pick up the phone themselves to ask.

My "but" refers to the limit of 4 participants. I was a little disappointed about this limit. I would have liked to buy an add-on deal to upgrade to the maximum number of participants (and I hope there will be more than 16 later). Users of Appsumo are interested in lifetime deals and not willing to buy subscriptions. That's why we are here and that's why I don't upgrade. So I still have to do group meetings using other tools. I hope that we won't be asked later to pay for new features like on this one.

Nevertheless I give 5 tachos, because the tool completely impresses me and I gladly recommend it to others. Thanks for this great tool!

3 tacos are for the working features. It is a decent tool for video meetings. No need to download anything, thats good.

But, they had promised CNAME and group call.

Now, they have provided both, but with additional cost attached.
You have to shell out more than what you paid for the deal, to get CNAME.

And group call has only 4 participants, you included.
Even Vectera has 7 participants.

This deal will be used by small business owners, but small business owners too have more than 3 employees. I am facing a lot of issue due to this. To get higher number of participants, I have to pay additional fees. This is ridiculous.

When I bought the deal and started using, group call was not available. I requested team to give a timeline, and they gave a response that around 8 participants would be allowed.
Now, when the feature is available, they are saying only 4 allowed and sorry.

This is blatantly going back on your deal. I can't even refund now. Have been waiting for features and now they have gone back on their promises.. Not good business ethics or planning.

If you're not interested in White Label features, then it's good.
Even though they promised white label features. It's a big joke. It still hasn't been implemented - even though the deal has been going on here since October (6 months).

I've tried contacting support about several things, but they either are dismissive of the issues or say it can't be done. So I'm going to highlight them here, maybe you care.

On the booking page, the client has to agree to the MEETFOX T&C. I suggested to simply change the word "meetfox" to "our T&C" instead, to make it more neutral. But no change yet.

You have the option to upload your logo, but that only shows up on the booking page. Once the client gets an email link to their session, the meetfox logo appears instead, which clicking it takes them to the meetfox webpage, not your website.

The emails your client also contain their branding "by MeetFox".

The calendar entry created after a client books a meeting contains "Powered by MeetFox.com".

In the beginning they promised custom CNAME. Now you have to pay extra for it.
So okay, pay $50 for it, you'd think you get more control of your brand?
Haha!
The joke's on you!
While you might setup the custom cname to be "meet.johnsmith.com" that won't actually be your booking link. That link instead takes your client back to meetfox.com.
Your link will need to contain your username - so something like "meet.johnsmith.com/en/e/johnsmith".
Redundant?
Too long?
Not what you paid for?
You bet!

But don't expect it to change any soon, because they said that they simply CAN'T do it because it has to be a reflection of their site.
Even though others like vectera did manage to do it.

The worse part here is that you can't even chose whatever username you want, because now, ALL MEETFOX BOOKING PAGES are actually on your own domain.

So you can't choose a username "booking" for example to be "meet.yourdomain.com/en/e/booking" because that's already taken.

And EVEN WORSE, if you did buy the CNAME feature, and you go TO YOUR OWN DOMAIN and visit https://meet.yourdomain.com/en/e/booking/", you will see that it's Bienje Buga - someone who chose the username "booking".
Who is that ON YOUR OWN DOMAIN you ask? Well, EVERYONE who has an account with meetfox now actually has a booking page on YOUR DOMAIN. Check it out yourself.

This is how incomplete they setup this feature for which they happily charge an extra $50. You're better of setting a simple redirect.

So the cname, the whitelabel features are a big joke. They have their branding plastered everywhere, and they charge for a feature that has been implemented so badly, I wouldn't recommend using it for FREE.

If you're not interested in branding, in whitelabel stuff, this product might be good for you.
If you are, it's simply not.
Seeing how these issues have been around for 6 months, don't expect a fix for whitelabel stuff anytime soon, or a working CNAME (which we paid extra for).

There are other minor issues as well...

Great app that absolutely makes bookings and online meetings so easy that you suddenly enjoy online meetings.

Just to clarify, I am not using Meetfox to try out my social distancing pickup lines ("I got Netflix and toiletpaper, ladies! Get at me!").
Using Meetfox has been a pleasure. The setup is easy and clear, and any parts which were even slightly unclear their great customer service (servicers? servicions? serviettes?) people were on the ball!
I've used a number of other video meeting apps and Meetfox really fits my needs. I like the control I have over the booking calendar and the quick meeting function (which is what I mostly use) is so easy both for me and my clients. I send a link, they hop on the call, and even screen sharing is just another click.

Good stuff! I highly recommend Meetfox!

Meetfox is really easy to use and intuitive... You get quick video training in the "Get Started" section when you login.

What I really need quickly though, is an integration to Zapier, which is planned, but when will it be ready?
And I would like to have many more characters in questionnaire fields, I definitely don't have enough space to ask qualitative questions.
Pre-filled answers that prospects would select with a radio button is must have to.

I still give it a 5 star rating, since I'm sure those things can easily be fixed.
