OptinMonster – Feature-Rich Solution

[Jahangir655]

“We were previously using Hello Bar, then my boss told me we had to use the free version provided by our email service provider. Four months later, my boss came back and asked me why our email option had much lower opt-in rates. I replied, “Because we got rid of Hello Bar.” My boss never approved of us getting new software so quickly. We went back to Hello Bar immediately, and our email opt-in rates are up again.” – Marty, Head of Digital at a global media group.

Price: Starting at $9/month (billed annually) Key Features Advanced employment database targeting, campaign planning, A/B testing Best for: Marketing teams needing extensive customization options

OptinMonster has been around forever and is definitely one of the most popular WordPress pop-up plugins. If you have a marketing team that likes to play with every little setting, this might be for you.

They offer a free version with basic features, which is ideal for testing out features before committing to their premium features. This makes it more accessible to small businesses and bloggers looking to get started.

Many marketers have used OptinMonster on various projects, and their template library is quite extensive. You can find pre-made pop-ups for virtually any campaign objective. Their targeting rules allow you to be very specific about who sees what and when.

The most interesting feature they offer is called MonsterLinks. It's basically a two-step signup process where users first click on a link and then see the pop-up. This psychological trick of getting the "micro-engagement" first can increase conversions by 20-30% in many cases.
