During this time I have found retainful to be functional and easy to use for a non technical person. The customer support is outstanding. There is nothing they won’t do or put in the to hard basket, even if its not part of the service they offer. They setup all my automations and I have had many orders from them. Every email campaign I send I get orders. I can contact them day or night and get a timely response. I would recommend them to everyone. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/8e81a8261cd5da8e4fa8c3f0638ece81c0ceca99c8ddcdd24c7d75a182112365? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Most improved](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/most-improved/)󠁿 [bretttongg](https://profiles.wordpress.org/bretttongg/) March 27, 2026 Very good support from Vishaaik ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/49e167a0fd63564e8d54fa9b2ee5f1c9c4e6808ec394e8da6d328f5733c76582? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Great service and support](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-service-and-support-34/)󠁿 [blackvault](https://profiles.wordpress.org/blackvault/) March 26, 2026 This is a great service, which comes with a helpful and friendly support.
