Hidden Costs Breakdown

1

Mid-Contract Price Increases

high addon

ConnectWise has a pattern of raising prices during the contract term without justification. Multiple customers report sudden rate increases that contractually they cannot escape due to multi-year commitments.

trustpilot

This company, increase prices right after contract. They do not reply to support tickets.

trustpilot

raise your rates as they want, contracts mean nothing

2

Overbilling and Phantom Charges

critical addon

Customers consistently report being billed for products they never ordered, inflated invoices with pricing errors, and charges for services that were canceled years prior. Obtaining refunds or credits is difficult.

trustpilot

over bill you, raise your rates as they want, contracts mean nothing

trustpilot

The bills are nearly always inflated because they hope we won't notice the errors. It's difficult to get any refund or credit, and of course we had to pay for everything upfront!

3

Premium Support Upcharge Doesn't Deliver

high support

Customers who pay extra for premium support report no meaningful difference in service quality. Tickets go weeks without updates, support is unresponsive, and issues remain unresolved despite the additional cost.

trustpilot

I even paid EXTRA for premium support, and was rewarded with no ticket updates for weeks, tickets prematurely closed, and unhappy customers.

4

Upfront Payment Required with No Onboarding Support

medium implementation

ConnectWise requires full payment immediately upon contract signing, but provides minimal to no implementation support or onboarding assistance. Customers report paying for software they cannot use due to lack of setup help.

trustpilot

We never even got to use the software because they didn't offer any support or assistance in setting up our account. Yet they require payment as soon as you sign.

trustpilot

We joined a partnership, never got onboarded. Absolutely the worst service.

5

Contract Buyout Costs

critical compliance

Customers locked into 3-year contracts who want to leave must negotiate buyouts. The company makes it extremely difficult to exit, even when services are non-functional or never delivered.

trustpilot

They will NOT ever let you out of your contract for any reason and their contract is 3 year.

trustpilot

Currently we aren't sharing that document publicly due to legal concerns... We are willing to buy out a portion of the contract, but there seems...
