Jeanette Ponder (ID: 000000c4cf9c9b29) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 01/14/2023 The good: this plugin is seamless. You don't even know that it's running. It's also a really nice surprise to see money accumulate. This is a great concept! The bad: There were a lot of problems signing in and actually getting to the dashboard. I ended up figuring it out, but it took me an hour that I would rather not have wasted. The ugly: regrettably, several things were pretty bad. 1) what they don't tell you is that Datacy only pays out in $30 increments, even if you have a decent chunk of change in there. Plus, they won't let you take out more than that $30 chunk for at least 24 hours. Furthermore, it may take up to TEN BUSINESS DAYS to get your payment. Yikes! 2) there's no customer service at all. None. When I tried to email them, the email bounced back. Not the best thing to see when you have questions about your cash. So, don't count those ad revenue chickens before they hatch. All in all, Datacy is a meh experience, but I'll keep letting it run until I get all of my money out.
