SendFox Reviews

I purchased this deal many years ago and never used it until this year when I got into self publishing.

I was aware that Sendfox was a minimalist, stripped down to only the essentials sort of email tool and i was okay with that.

I couldn't create email templates so that I don't have to start from scratch without upgrading to the Empire plan, weird but okay, but the double optin feature was the last straw.

Suppose you use another tool for lead Gen, a tool that already does email confirmation (in the case for me it was bookfunnel) and you connect to Sendfox via API, despite the leads already consenting to joining your email list in exchange for the lead magnet, despite Book funnels own confirmation email sent, unless they click on the Sendfox confirmation email (the 3rd opt-in at this point) i will not be able to email them. Keeping in mind that at this stage the leads have already downloaded the lead magnet.

The only way to turn off double opt-in, ia you guessed it... Upgrading to the empire plan. At this point you might as well just give that money to another tool that will give you full design functionality, opt-in configuration and full customization features.

Why bother with a tool that puts basic features behind a pay wall rather than adding value add for customers that they can monetize in the empire plan.

I've begun migrating to Mailerlite, if I'm going to pay for a tool, I might as well get the full suite.

I love AppSumo, but I am really not happy with SendFox. (laughs) It might be user error, I'm not 100% sure, but reading some of the comments, feel like it might not be. Um, I'm having an issue with importing lists and not being able to send out... I have an email, I've just imported, like, a small test list of like 2,000 people, and there's only, like, two emails going out every time I send it. So not sure what I'm doing wrong or if it's a SendFox thing, uh, but I would love to have some help, and that is all. But I do love AppSumo, just this app is a little on the sad side.

It's kind of a scam, no email responce forget about support

I am about to cancel my $10 and my level 5 status. I have written SendFox 3 times and have not heard back from them at all. Nothing. I have not been able to access all my lists that I have uploaded. They have restricted almost all access with zero reasons. All it says is e-mail them and provides their e-mail”. I have written and have let me hanging. I do not appreciate this. When I found out that App Sumo owned it I went in and bout the highest level because I believe in App Sumo. I even bought tidy cal and breeze. This is not good business. Period.

The platform is unreliable – connections randomly break, data disappears, and now I keep getting a 403 error page that locks me out and makes the whole tool unusable. On top of that, emails either don’t send, never arrive, or go straight to spam even with verified domains. If you rely on email for marketing, that’s a dealbreaker.

The automation is also badly designed. If you change or add emails in a sequence, existing subscribers never see the updates – only new ones do. So if you make a typo or want to improve your funnel, you’re stuck unless you rebuild everything.

Support is basically missing in action. Lifetime upgrades not applied, complaints ignored, no real help, no responsibility. It genuinely feels like they’re testing a half-baked product on paying users.

Bottom line: constant 403 errors, broken automations, poor deliverability, and no support. Even if it’s cheap, it’s not worth risking your time, campaigns, or reputation. Avoid it.
