I have just subscribed to this website and made the payment. I have not used it yet, so for me it is too early to give a review, don't you think so?

A $0.99 Trap That Turned Into a $39.95 Shock at 3 AM

I signed up for PDFSimpli on March 6, paying what appeared to be a simple one-time fee of $0.99 to convert an important scanned PDF into an editable Word document.

The product worked for that one task. But what followed felt less like a service—and more like a trap.

At no point during the purchase journey was it clearly communicated that this was a trial leading to a recurring subscription. There was no explicit warning, no prominent disclosure, and certainly no reminder notification before billing.

On March 21, at 3 AM, I was abruptly woken up by an SMS: my card had been auto-debited $39.95.

Shock. Confusion. Then frustration.

Only after digging through the original email did I discover a buried line in fine print stating that I would be charged every four weeks. That is not transparency—that is concealment.

I immediately reached out to the founder, Jordan Iversen, and their support team requesting a refund. There has been no resolution.

This experience stands in stark contrast to how responsible subscription businesses operate. For example, LinkedIn Premium sends proactive reminders before billing—giving users a fair chance to opt out.

That is what ethical customer practice looks like.

What happened here feels like a classic “gotcha” billing model—designed not around customer value, but around customer oversight.

I have no recurring need for this service, and had I been clearly informed, I would never have subscribed.

Final verdict:
A functional product overshadowed by deeply questionable billing practices.

Proceed with extreme caution.

Hello,

Thank you for your detailed feedback. We’re glad to hear the product worked for your document, but we’d like to clarify several points regarding billing.

The $0.99 payment is part of a trial offer, which is clearly presented before checkout, on the payment page, and again in the confirmation email sent at sign-up. This includes the information that the plan will automatically renew unless canceled within the trial period. This is standard practice for subscription-based services and is not hidden or “buried.”

Regarding notifications, while we provide immediate confirmation with full billing details, it is the user’s responsibility to manage or cancel the subscription within the trial window if they do not wish to continue.

We understand that unexpected charges can be frustrating, but describing this as a “trap” or “concealment” is not accurate. We aim to be transparent at every step of the process.

If you still need assistance with your account or would like us to review your case further, please contact our support team directly at support@pdfsimpli.com

Hello,

Thank you for your feedback.

We would like to clarify that at no point does PDF Simpli state that all features are 100% free. We offer both paid options for immediate access and a free alternative through our “Delayed” option, which allows users to download their document at no cost after a 24-hour processing period.

The option to proceed with payment is presented only for users who prefer instant access, and this is clearly displayed before any charge is made.

We understand how this may have been misunderstood, but our platform provides transparent options so users can choose the service that best fits their needs.

If you need assistance accessing your document through the free option or have any other questions, our support team is available to help.

Sincerely,

PDF Simpli

Fraud

Site didn’t transcribe correctly the information on the PDF to a Word or Excel document. I only tried 1 document and since it didn’t worked I thought that I cancelled it, and for my surprise, I noticed a week ago that they have been charging me almost $50 every month (for 5 months) without receiving a formal email receipt.

I requested a refund and they only refunded the recent month and they don’t want to refund the other 4 months because they say it’s part of the subscription rules. I told them that if a charge is being made an email receipt needs to be send to the customer as an evidence of the payment received but they never sent any receipt. I’ve escalated twice. The first time they said that someone will contact me but not one has either sent me an email or has called me. It seems like a fraud page. Not even a case number was sent to my email. It’s just so disappointing to know that there are people out there in the world that doesn’t respect others sacrifices to earn that money and you can’t have it back knowing that you never used that page. Also, the charges were not made on the same day of each month. Not even one day. $200 that I need to pay my car that broke down. $200 that I need to pay my bills. But, yeah, they just don’t care that they were charging me without any receipt being sent. God will take care of this.

Hello,

We’re truly sorry to hear about your experience and understand how upsetting this situation must feel, especially given your circumstances.

We would like to clarify a few important points regarding the subscription. At the time of sign-up, all customers are required to review and agree to the subscription terms, which include the recurring billing every 4 weeks unless the service is canceled. This information is presented before completing the trial purchase, and a confirmation email is automatically sent at the time of registration outlining these details. We'll forward that original email sent you when purchase the service so you can review it.

We understand your concern regarding usage; however, our service is subscription-based and not dependent on how often the platform is used. Once active, the subscription continues billing as agreed until a cancellation request is completed.

We also sincerely apologize for the delay in follow-up and the lack of communication you experienced. That is not the level of service we aim to provide, and your feedback will be reviewed internally.

As for the refund, we understand this is a significant amount. However, charges outside of the most recent billing period fall outside of our refund policy, which is why only the latest charge was eligible. Unfortunately, there is no additional refund available beyond what has already been processed.

If you would like us to review your account in more detail or resend any documentation, please don’t hesitate to contact us:

Do not use this company..I only ever…

Do not use this company..I only ever subscribed for one sheet at £1.95 and then find £49.95 taken out of my account. I complain and ask for a refund and they say they have issued a ticket and will get back, usually within 24hrs and it never happened and now they have taken another £49.95 from my accounting £99.90 in total for converting one sheet.
