What do you like best about OptinMonster?

I found OptinMonster by chance, it turns out it can be used for free when you get the plugin directly from WordPress and I didn't know that when I was looking for an option for getting subscribers from my website. It turns out to be a great choice for building great subscriber boxes.

What I love about this plugin is the easy way to install and set up on WordPress, besides the fact that can be used for free with a lot of things offered inside. If you use the pro version you can get the most out of it, especially when comes to data and analytics which is extremely useful in any online business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OptinMonster?

I didn't like how to customize the pop-up, turns out to be not too friendly for someone who hasn't used this tool before. But it's all about learning the tricks and finding a way to make it cool for you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering OptinMonster:

I believe using OptinMonster can save you time when making choices about what do you want, besides it has great integrations with many email marketing companies like Mailerlite, Mailchimp, and Sendinblue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is OptinMonster solving and how is that benefiting you?

I like that I can see how the pop-up looks on mobile and on the website because it allows me to change anything that I need based on how it looks for the customer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about OptinMonster?

It does its job by providing many customizable options for adding various blocks to your site and blog aimed at converting users.

A/B testing and analytics are good too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OptinMonster?

User experience might be better as the visual editor is not that intuitive and it takes time to get used to it when creating campaigns.

Sometimes it can conflict with your website/Worpress blog. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is OptinMonster solving and how is that benefiting you?

We were looking for a solution to add custom CTAs to our blog in order to convert its readers. Now we are running different campaigns both on the website and blog and they work fine. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about OptinMonster?

The templates are easy to set up and the display rules are straightforward. I really like how it integrates with Constant Contact, our email service. Once a user opts-in, they get a customized email right from us! Support is great, too! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OptinMonster?

Our company has the OptinMonster Growth Yearly plan and it is enough for us, but we don't get all the features as with other plans like advanced reporting and analytics. Using the Page Builder is also a bit more detailed than using the Drag and Drop feature. It is pretty expensive, too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is OptinMonster solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are getting a lot of conversions using the opt-ins for Cart Abandonment and Exit-Intents. This has allowed our sales to increase tremendously! We love how we can really target the pop-ups based on so many different display rules. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about OptinMonster?

We can continually test our optin messaging and offers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OptinMonster?

Segmenting the messaging based on specific URLs required me to manually add all of the URLs I want to have one version of the campaign run. To exclude I had to just leave those out to successfully have an alternate version run on those pages. Optin Monster makes it seem like you can just exclude by designating those URLs, but from my experience, that wasn't the case.

With the amount of people we can see opting into our webinar the GA tracking seems to be off. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about OptinMonster?

I have been using OptinMonster for over 5 year. Great value on because of no limit on sites. I paid $29 a month and was happy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OptinMonster?

BUT this ended then they changeed my pricing to $199 a month.

No warning in-app. No change in my subscription. They just started billing me $199 a month.

WHAT!!

I contacted them and explained the issues. They told me they had changed the terms and now I would be billed for the number of sites on my account.

I told them only 2 sites were active - having a popup running. But still, I should pay for a service I did not use.

I thought this could not be right. I expected Option Monster to care about customer experience. I asked to check with a manager if this could be right...

They did not care.

No refund.

No understanding.

Optin Monster are just thinking on short-term profit.

Now I'm moving to Sleeknote. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Be VERY careful that they charge you the correct amount. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about OptinMonster?

Easy to use, and doesn't require much time for getting started. Being able to use custom CSS for styling tweaks is one of my favorites.

Has a variety of targeting options, tons of already created templates which make Pop-up creation a whole lot easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OptinMonster?

Integrations in OptinMonster are plan-based e.g. in Basic, and Plus Plan you can't use InfusionSoft Integration.

Plus, Optimonster has view limits based on the plans. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If you are considering Pop-up creation software, you can try between OptinMonster & HelloBar to see which works best for you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
