  • Simple yet best in class plugin

    I was looking for a simple message popup plugin and didn't like other marketing popup plugins with a host of bloated features I don't need. This plugin does the simple thing and does it really well. You can add any content to the popup using Gutenberg blocks. Great features including settings for color, sizes, duration, scheduling, and where on the website the popup happens. Great work and thank you.

  • Wonderful Plugin

    Very easy to set up. It seems to be the best free exit intent popup plugin available!

  • Plugin works fine, but require jQuery

    This plugins works pretty fine, but itś not compatible with websites that don't use jQuery as it can have bad impact on performance. If you would re-write it to vanilla JS, i can give it a 5
