A game changer in simplicity and functionality for our small publications. ----- ### "Should've kept searching" — 2.0/5 > **Kat** | *13 January 2026* | Oil & Energy | Recommendation rating: 4.0/10 > > **Pros**: Emailed renewal notices. This makes sending and processing renewals much easier for our small staff. > > **Cons**: Quite the list. I initially thought this would solve the bulk of of our circulation issues. First, not including a date option for vacation holds to end was an oversight on development. Support for customers is insulting. Responses including 3-5 word sentences tell me you do not value your customers or their choice to use SimpleCirc over other options. Feels like more work goes into gaining new publications with less focus on retention. Also, processing auto renews after subscriptions have expired causes unnecessary interruptions to digital access. When I raised the concern and asked for a fix, I received another 4 word email response telling me this cannot be fixed. Software is supposed to evolve and improvement's and fixes should consistently be rolled out. Why is it possible to enter a date for an address to be updated but not offer the same for vacations. Expiration dates should not land on the same date as publication dates. We should also be allowed to delete payments that are refunded, or at a minimum have an toggle option showing the transaction was refunded. So far our cons outweigh the pros so I am not certain we will continue with this software after the one year mark unless improvements are rolled out. I also strongly encourage alternatives to who is currently offering client support. I get the sense that he is annoyed anytime he has to respond to my emails so unless there is a commission at the end of your correspondence, expect short, dry, and increasingly passive aggressive, albeit, swift responses. The initial claim was "For Publishers, by Publishers," but it is clear that the people who handle and work in circulation were an afterthought because these problems wouldn't exist if their feedback was considered during development. I wish I had more positives or a more balanced review but so far this is my honest feedback after 6 months using this software. > > Leaves more to be desired. Customer support needs to greatly improve, software fixes and improvements would keep this software fresh and in demand but no plans to improve some of the problems and limitations makes this software seem like a cheap alternative to better options on the market. ----- ### "Settled on the best" — 5.0/5 > **Amy** | *9 January 2023* | Media Production | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Since I've been with our company, I've trained on two other subscription software programs. Both were loaded with tons of "extras" that made it very difficult to do subscription tasks. I love SimpleCirc because it is SIMPLE but thorough. No fluff. Easy to learn, and meets our needs. > > **Cons**: The merchandise section, where we can put back issues for sale is not quite as customizable as I would like. But, again, SIMPLE so I'd rather it be easy to use than be more complex and require a ton of training to figure it out. > > Excellent. We have had a few minor issues, and when we do, the team is there to talk with and explain. They are very accessible and responsive. ----- ### "The Norwegian American" — 5.0/5 > **Lori Ann** | *3 January 2023* | Newspapers | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Web-based; perfect for our remote team. Very easy to use. > > **Cons**: I would like to be able to distinugish between print and digital subscribers > > Excellent; great customer suppor ----- ### "SimpleCirc lives up to it's name" — 5.0/5 > **Becky** | *21 July 2023* | Publishing | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's simple for us and simple for subscribers to use. YAY\! > > **Cons**: Would love the ability to run our online store from the system also. > > Finally a product that says what it will do and it does it\! ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/168194/simplecirc?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/168194/simplecirc) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | ----- ## Structured Data
