GBA decent platform with a few drawbacks The platform itself is easy to use and we appreciate the ability to automate monthly reports. However, it's frustrating to only be able to pull a monthly report on a specific date. When client meetings fall on or before this date, we are unable to pull the reports with sufficient time to prepare for the meeting. The insights provided are helpful, though it would be nice to see a bit more information on the graphs. We often pull the third page to show clients, and there isn't much information for them to grasp on their own. At the beginning of this month (March 2015), we were unable to pull reports for any of our clients. It took about two weeks for the issue to be resolved. This makes us look unprepared.

GBVery poor initial experience. Far too expensive After subscribing to their lowest plan to try it out I was given the option of spending 192 of my 200 credits to run a Recon Report. Now if I want to run any additional reports they want to charge a lot more. So, in a nutshell my first entire monthly expense allowed me to run ONE report...?? No thanks

GB*Warning- SPYFU Fraudulent Billing without Subscription : Warning: SpyFu's Unauthorized Billing Scam My recent encounter with SpyFu has been nothing short of a nightmare. Despite never signing up for their services or providing consent, I found myself being billed for over a year. This unauthorized billing amounts to nothing short of fraud. Upon discovering these charges, I immediately contacted their customer support, seeking an explanation and refund. However, the response has been inadequate, leaving me feeling ignored and deceived. This experience serves as a stark warning to others: beware of SpyFu's deceptive billing practices. It's crucial to stay vigilant and hold companies accountable for their fraudulent behavior. Until SpyFu addresses this issue and improves their practices, I strongly advise against trusting them with your business.

GBBEEN TRYING FOR 5 DAYS FOR A RESPONSE If anyone can tell me how the heck you can get someone from SpyFu to return my calls, to respond to my emails, to do something to communicate with me I'd be a happy camper. i tried the CHAT and no one is ever on....must be because I need to cancel my membership immediately....I signed up and the site was down all weekend long.....now I will have to do a FRAUD report thru my bank!

GBNeed a larger database of keywords When gathering and analyzing competitive keywords via tools such as Kombat, SpuFu is one of the best tools on the market. But my team has struggled getting baseline monthly search volume when trying to identify new keywords opportunities. We work in a niche sector so while this is not surprising, we found other tools that met these needs better.
