    "Purchased DesktopAlert by mistake (intended DeskAlerts) - no refund after prompt cancellation"

    Posted 2026-01-22

    Pros: We didn’t use it in production, so limited evaluation.
    Initial onboarding calls were responsive though largely unnecessary in our use-case.

    Cons: Name similarity caused purchasing confusion; verify vendor names before buying.

    Refund or refund-minus-services was declined after we halted deployment and requested itemization of “engineering time.”

    Onboarding leaned on vendor-led sessions rather than self-serve docs/videos, which would have sufficed in my opinion.

    UI felt dated and harder to operate than alternatives we evaluated.

    Overall: This review reflects my personal opinion based on our Aug–Sep 2025 interactions.
    We bought DesktopAlert when we intended to purchase DeskAlerts, realized the mistake, paused deployment, requested a refund or refund-minus-services, and were declined; we then uninstalled and provided a non-use affidavit.
    Advice to buyers: double-check vendor names, get refund/termination terms in writing, ask for a pilot, and clarify onboarding expectations up front.

    NOTE: I previously posted a review under my work email; after the presumed Founder/Owner threatened legal action over that post, I removed it and rewrote this from my personal account to clearly state my opinion.
