Review Ngrok?

Ngrok is praised for its reliability and ease of use, particularly in development environments. Makers of My Quizzes highlight its role in simplifying development processes. Users appreciate its ability to create secure tunnels for testing and debugging web applications, with many finding it indispensable for sharing demos and debugging locally. However, some users express frustration with its subscription cancellation process and pricing policies. Overall, Ngrok is valued for its functionality, though improvements in pricing and subscription management are desired.

Easy to subscribe, fine to use at start. However, impossible to unsubscribe. Utter garbage. I canceled my ngrok subscription, I then completely deleted my NGROK account and they still keep charging my card. What must be done to get rid of these pests? Now I am forced to make a new card just because these pests have my card details.

Not convinced with product. Just upload everything on a web server, why do oyu need this product?

Thanks for the note. In some cases, yes uploading everything to a server works well. As long as you have that server configured and available. But even then, there ends up being a lag between updating your code, deploying, and testing. With something like webhooks, it's even slower because that other system adds more steps. With ngrok , you can build & test locally with no steps in between. And with our Request Capture & Replay capability, you can catch that webhook and replay it over and over again without any steps in between.

There's not enough that I can say about it... And that speaks volumes. Compared to what you had back in the day (early 2000's), this is Sci-Fi... =]

Awful service, can't even have a demo with my customers because they are banning accounts, suspecting me in phishing. It's an easy task to save every response from the proxied service to see that it can't be a phishing website. I must add that their banning policy is forever, u have to write an email, to wait about 4 hours for a response that is explaining you why u have been banned, without any investigation process or help

I was mostly happy with the actual service, aside from a couple of basic features that weren't there and that I had to work around. Then my workplace introduced an in-house alternative that they wanted everyone to use. Trying to cancel your ngrok subscription is nearly impossible. I had an annual subscription but stopped using the product around March. At that point I went in to cancel the subscription but it causes an error stating that annual subscriptions can only be cancelled within a month of when they renew. You also can't remove payment methods until after you cancel. I don't see a legitimate reason to do this. It seems to me that they're hoping people forget to cancel in that 30 day window. As of September I still have 2 more weeks to wait. And of course, if I were to forget until November, it would renew and the timer would start all over again. Really gross business decision.
