Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Easy to install and I love their extension to scan mails and check for active subscriptions. Once it finds them, you are able to automatically put them inside the management table where you just assign an owner. Super easy and great way to add subscriptions!
  • CostLoop provides a clear overview of all recurring subscriptions in one place, helping users avoid forgotten renewals, reduce unnecessary expenses, and stay informed with timely alerts before charges occur.
  • Easy to use and quite easy to install, perfect for smaller companies like us. Also we really like the request features they have which helps us easily decide whether we should approve new licenses or not.

Cons

  • Not for enterprises, but for small and medium businesses its perfect
  • The platform depends on users keeping their subscription information up to date, and some advanced budgeting or financial analysis features available in larger finance tools may not be included.
  • To be honest this is our first month of using this software, so we haven't found any cons so far. But we will come back and edit the review if we find any.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • After dealing with subscription software for more than 30 years, I discovered SimpleCirc and life (and business) became simple.
  • I often say to staff “I’d like to shake the hand of the programmer who built this." The email and mail program saves us time and money. With three titles, it was hard to keep up and our circulation manager was the only person that knew the program. We all know how to help customers over the phone now. Our SimpleCirc manager can't believe how easy it is to get mailing labels compared to our older program. The payment processing is easy and quick. I love that we can process cards for our customers while they are on the phone if necessary right through the app.
  • SimpleCirc is very intuitive and easy to use. It is robust and user friendly. It's evolving and new features are being added all the time. I was nervous about migrating our subscriber list in, but had a lot of help and it was pretty smooth.

Cons

  • We haven't found any problems yet. COVID moved us to an online system.
  • I wish there was a page you could load the table of content of your magazine with a magnifier to see what’s inside each issue. It would help in search also. We have been adding our Table of Content pages along with the cover and this is helpful. Our web person said he’d didn’t understand how to put our titles in the URL so that the web traffic to our back issues helped us in search. Perhaps that is something SImple Circ could clarify. I would think this might be universal among websites. It would be nice if International and Promo Codes were a tad more prominent.
  • We are still waiting for a few features to be added.
