A Short Intro To Choosing A Optin Plugin

Growing your mailing list is one of the most important things you can do as a blogger (or almost any business for that matter). The optin plugins compared on this page help you with this task by allowing you to create beautiful signup popup forms. These forms will be shown to a visitor on top of your page and contain a prominent form that allows him or her to sign up for your email list. The desired result: Increased conversion and signup rates compared to having just a static signup form on your blog.

The pricing> in this niche is very similar among the different alternatives. All of them are commercial plugins you need to pay for and all of them get more expensive depending on the number of blogs you want to use them on. OptinMonster is the most popular and best known optin plugin and as such they can also get away with charging the highest price by far. If you only need basic features then it might be worth having a look at the cheaper alternatives. They might be all you need to improve your newsletter signups and grow your list.

Feature-wise all of the solutions compared here are worthy alternatives. Some of the plugins focus a lot on email list signups and provide integration for lots of different email marketing providers. Others go a different route and focus more on general popup functionality for videos, social sharing buttons or any other content you could think of. As so often the right choice depends on your specific requirements.

Other Factors To Consider In Your Choice

There are of course many other factors you should consider in your choice of a optin plugin which are not part of this comparison because they are either highly subjective or hard to track. For example:

  • Is the plugin easy to use? To answer this question download a demo or free version (if available) to get a closer feel for how the plugin works.
  • How good is the plugin interface? Try watching some Youtube videos of each WordPress optin plugin in action to get an idea what the admin area looks like.
  • Is the support fast and helpful? Consider just getting in touch and asking some questions before your purchase to see what kind of answer you get.
  • Is the plugin updated regularly? Check if they post about new version releases on their website. For products with a free version in the WP plugin directory you can browse the changelog there.

Are you still uncertain which list building plugin is best for you? Below I have added a few links to other good comparisons created by WordPress bloggers:

Finally I want to stress that this optin plugin comparison only compares prices and features as reported by the developers. It can not tell you whether those features actually work or in which WordPress optin plugin they work better. I recommend you use my comparison as a starting point in your search for the best optin popup plugin and then try some of the top choices yourself!

How To Use This Optin Plugin Comparison

My big WordPress optin plugin comparison

Using this comparison is very easy, certainly easier than actually choosing one of the optin popup plugins! In the form at the top of the page enter which features you will definitely need from the optin plugin of your choice by checking the boxes next to each feature. Because many WordPress optin plugins increase in price depending on your number of sites you should also select on how many blogs you intend to use the plugin with the dropdown box.

After clicking the “Compare Now” button the top optin popup plugins based on your requirements are shown on the right side. By default the results are ordered by how well they match the features you have searched for. You can change that with the “Order results by” dropdown, e.g. to display the cheapest WP optin plugins in front.

What the results mean: Each compared product is shown in a blue box that contains the following information:

  • Features: This comparison tracks a number of features that are commonly found in the best WordPress optin plugins. The number next to each alternative shows you how many out of all those features you can find in this particular product. Features are listed as reported by the developers.
  • Missing Features: This will only show up if a WordPress optin plugin does not offer all the features you need (defined by your selection in the comparison search form). All products are displayed regardless of how many features they are missing with the best matches listed higher.
  • Price: The price as calculated for your number of blogs and required features. The goal is to show you the exact cost you can expect when deciding to purchase one of the alternatives in order to help you find the cheapest optin plugin possible.
    All prices are as listed on the developers websites. Bulk or automatic discounts are factored in if available. There can be minor variations due to rounding errors. If you find a product has changed their prices please report it so I can keep the list updated.
  • Reviews: This section lists the average rating of the plugin given by WPscoop users. If available the average rating from the WordPress.org plugin directory or the CodeCanyon marketplace is also listed.
  • Download / Order Link: Many of the products compared here offer you a way to test their service for free. Some offer a basic plugin for free, others a demo on their website or a refund period. You will find the details next to each plugin. If possible I recommend you try and test any WordPress optin plugin yourself before buying.

Suggestions And Corrections Welcome!

All the data about prices and features is coming directly from the developers. I want this comparison to be an objective starting point in your search for a great optin popup plugin. Because of that it only contains hard facts and no subjective verdict by myself.

Since most WordPress products are regularly updated and prices get changed often I need your help to keep this comparison up to date! If you spot an outdated price, find an error or notice that a feature was added to one of the optin popup plugins please leave a comment so that I can update the article. Thank you!
