  • Free version is useless

    They claim all these integrations but you need to pay. You should state that in your description.

  • Waste of my time because it is completely useless

    I do not recommend the free version of the plugin because it is almost useless compared to other popup builder plugins.

  • Does the job. Easy to use!

    I hope this is the one even in the future after replacing OptinMonster that was super expensive.

  • Best Plugin Ever I saw

    One of the Best Popup plugin ever I used, Previously I'm used some premium Newsletter and popup plugins on my shopping website and I Faced some wierd experience and loosing customers because of slow loading and setup also literally hard but this plugin beats everything.. Easy Loading light weight and the main thing easy to setup. I'm really happy and satisfied with this Optinly Plugin it saves my time and increase customer leads to grab their emails and phone numbers with easy one click setup... I Guess everyone will face the same experience like me after using this plugin.... Thanks Optinly for this plugin and I'm really happy with your service... I Love this plugin alot

  • Excellent Popup plugin I have used

    I am using Optinly for a few months and it is the best inbound leads tool I have come across. It has helped me grow my email list faster than I could imagine. The best part about it is that it's completely free to use. I just downloaded FREE plugin and started to collect leads! The interface is fantastic, with easy to use options for your campaign type and the pop ups are great. My favorite feature, though, hands down is the live preview. It's really helpful to know what my campaign will look like on my site before I launch it.
