Extremely Disappointing Experience — No Results After 4 Months

I spent $4,688.28 with Zignify and had nothing to show for it.I started with them on June 24, 2025, and by October 31 I had already reached the amount the owner originally estimated the whole project would cost — yet we still had no clear direction, no aligned suppliers, and no real progress.My product is a multi-component, eco-friendly item with very specific material requirements — something I was upfront about from the start. The owner told me they could likely have everything figured out by December and that the total cost should stay within a certain range. That never happened.Before signing, it was very hard to find real client reviews, and the only person I eventually reached had worked with them on something extremely simple (a journal). Since my product was much more complicated, I relied on Zignify’s sales pitch and promises — but unfortunately, that trust was misplaced.Throughout the project, I had to repeatedly remind the team of the same instructions. Despite clearly stating my required materials multiple times, they kept presenting suppliers suggesting cardboard, wood, or alternate materials I had already rejected. At one point, an internal message even said they wouldn’t tell suppliers the real materials “not to confuse them” and instead wanted to see what materials the supplier would propose — even though I had already said I wasn’t looking for opinions. I needed them to confirm whether suppliers could produce what I actually needed.Some quotes were inconsistent or confusing — including a mold quote that first appeared as ~$30,000 total, then changed to $5,000 per mold, and finally clarified as six molds per size (meaning $30,000 per size and $60,000 total). This only came to light because I questioned it. I constantly had to chase missing details or ask for clarification just to understand what was being quoted.I also had to repeatedly remind them to send a capability checklist before sending files or requesting quotes. It often felt like I was managing their team just to prevent wasted time.Then I paused the project on October 31 due to lack of progress. I then received my October invoice billing issue. They attempted to charge hours I never approved. After I pushed back with timestamps and proof, they eventually corrected it — but only after giving me resistance. Once this was fixed they closed the entire project on their end. Their final message basically said: “Here you go, here’s the supplier list — you can contact them now.”That was supposed to be the job I hired them for.After four months and nearly $5k, all I ended up with was a spreadsheet of suppliers — most of whom couldn’t even meet the requirements I had clearly explained from the beginning.If your project is even slightly complex, I strongly recommend caution.Zignify might work for simple, single-material items or something basic like sourcing notebooks. But for anything technical, multi-component, or requiring real attention to detail, you are far better off hiring a dedicated freelancer(UPWork) — someone transparent, accountable, and actually capable — instead of paying $90/hr for no real outcome.I trusted Zignify because they presented themselves as experts. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the reality.
