Superb backup

I've maintained an Imagely site for years and always been impressed with the level of support to solve any odd issues that crop up, even if beyond the scope of the Imagely software itself. Really, really good people here.

Great support from Imagely

I encountered a problem following a behavior change in a NextGen release and the support provided me a solution to resolve the issue.
So that I did not need to modify hundreds of information data in the database.

Outstanding Photocrati Technical Support

First let me add that I am not a website designer. My goal was to create my own photography website with the vision of how I wanted it to look. After a lot of research I chose Photocrati and NextGen Gallery for the design and customization of my website. It offered many options from site layout to fonts types, colors, sizes, and spacing.

During my work designing my site, there were some settings which I wanted but was unable to find out how to make the changes. I contacted Photocrati Technical Support and they were incredibly helpful. Some of the changes required additional “coding”. Knowing that I was not a website designer, they patiently led me to the right areas where the “coding” was to be added.

This was not the first time I contacted Tech Support. Each time the help response was clear and concise. And at the end of each correspondence was written: “Let me know if you have any questions”; and they sincerely meant it.

My website is up and running and is exactly how I envisioned it.

I rarely write a review of services given but my experience with Photocrati Technical Support; especially from Mihai Ceban, was so exceptional that I wanted to share it. If you do choose Photocrati, I am confident that you will experience the same Technical Support that I did.

After an update

After an update, my plugin crashed, so I contacted support through their contact form on Friday morning. Just a couple of hours later, they confirmed the issue and informed me that they were working on it right away. By Friday evening, the problem had been resolved. I received a follow-up email asking me to confirm that everything was working on my end. Overall, a very smooth and positive support experience!

Surprise!

Largely a decent product but...if you purchase, you are automatically enrolled in the subscription which renews without notice and at least double the cost. If you check below, there are many complaints about this but Imagely doesn't change their business model to correct this. In this day, any business that relies upon "ambush" marketing doesn't deserve my business.

Hi Chris, we’re glad to hear you found value in the product, and we’re sorry the renewal process caused frustration.

All subscriptions renew automatically at the standard rate, unless canceled in advance. If your first year included a promotional discount or introductory pricing, the renewal amount may be higher than the initial purchase.

We appreciated you reaching out quickly, and we were happy to issue your refund promptly. We don’t intend for renewals to feel like a surprise, and we’ll continue working to ensure the process is clear and transparent.

Spam assured!

Use this plugin once and be asured of receiving spam for weeks! Don't EVER install this in your WordPress site because they will steal your e-mail and annoy you with their unwanted promotional crap until you get sick of it.

disappointing! No Renewal Warning, Reduced Refund – Be Cautious



I used Imagely’s NextGEN plugin because it was one of the few options available for photographers using WordPress. It worked fine—but once I moved to a new platform and left WordPress, I assumed my subscription would lapse or at least give me notice.

I never received a renewal email or warning. Instead, I discovered a PayPal charge 15 days after it happened—only because I checked my account. I contacted support immediately. They canceled the subscription but refused a refund because I was just one day outside their 14-day policy.

This felt like a trap. No notice. No grace period. No flexibility. Just a cold policy hiding behind fine print.
I managed to get refunded after much complaint that was reduced by some made up service fee of 10%.

Photographers, be warned: if you move off WordPress or stop using Imagely, you must manually cancel or risk being charged without notice—and without recourse. The response said I changed my email, NOT TRUE, same email for many many years!

Hi Andrea, we’re sorry to hear about your experience and understand how upsetting unexpected charges can feel.

Imagely subscriptions renew automatically each year unless canceled in advance, and reminder emails are sent to the account email on file. In this case, those notices didn’t reach you since the email address was no longer in use.

We encourage customers to update their account details to ensure notices reach them or cancel ahead of renewal, but we also aim to be understanding and fair. Although your request came after our 14-day refund period, we made an exception and provided a full refund, including the processing fees.

Thank you for your feedback—we’ll continue working to ensure a smooth and transparent experience for all our customers.

Don't forget to cancel: No Refund policy

If you stop using it, do not forget to cancel. They have a "No Refunds" policy. I was charged and cancelled within like a minute plus.

I redesigned my site and went with an easier-to-use gallery.

Thanks for taking the time to leave a review, Ken.

We offer a 14-day money-back guarantee on all new purchases, but renewal charges are non-refundable if not canceled before the renewal date.

That said, we made an exception in your case and issued a refund for the full renewal amount, minus a 10% processing fee. We also canceled your subscription right away to prevent any future charges.

We always aim to be as helpful and flexible as possible—even in situations outside our standard policy. We appreciate you giving Imagely a try and wish you all the best with your new gallery solution.

Sneaky auto renew beware

Auto renews at double the price without any kind of notification which is just bad practice

Imagely customer service is fantastic!

Imagely customer service is fantastic. They know what they are talking about and how to communicate that to their customers. Though they’re on another continent and their replies arrive in the middle of the night, that is a small price to pay for them getting it right on the first time nearly all the time!

Imagely NextGEN Pro Plugin

I purchased the Pro version of the NextGEN Wordpress plugin and the problems began immediately. The software installed and activated with the Pro licence, the first gallery uploaded but didnt show the ecommerce cart to allow users to purchase photographs. I contacted Imagely and had a couple of replies from Barsha, but nobody has been able to get it working. The licence keeps reverting to an unlicensed state. I was told I needed to uninstall and reinstall the Plugins then manually enter my licence... I did this and shortly after it reverted to unlicensed. I have repeatedly replied to the initial support emails asking for help and had no reply, so have requested a full refund under their 14-day refund policy. Based on what I have seen I would avoid this solution as the support is very lacking and I never managed to get it working properly to test it.

Hi Tom, we’re sorry to hear about your experience. We understand how frustrating it must have been dealing with the licensing issue, especially when trying to get eCommerce functionality up and running. This issue was addressed in our latest update, but unfortunately, the timing didn’t work out in your case.

Regarding support, we strive to provide timely responses, but we recognize that there was a delay in resolving your request. We also noticed multiple tickets submitted under different email addresses, which may have contributed to some confusion and response gaps.

We appreciate your feedback and have already processed your refund request. If you ever decide to give Imagely another try, we’d love the opportunity to provide a better experience. Wishing you the best!

Even I hadn't bought the Pro version and used the free one I got very good support for a technical question. The support was very responsive, short answer times and even in a situation with only a few hints he came up with new ideas. Great!!! Thank you.
