Which optin plugin is the better alternative for my blog? With more and more competing premium WordPress plugins it gets harder and harder to answer that question. This article takes a look at two popular WordPress optin plugins: It compares OptinMonster with Optin Revolution in order to help you with your decision in choosing one.
There are several other alternatives to OptinMonster and Optin Revolution on the market which I have compared in separate articles. Go to my main WordPress Optin Plugins comparison to start your search.
Please note that this comparison only looks at the features on paper as reported by either plugin’s developers. It does not and can not tell you if or how well a certain feature will work for you. Because such a verdict would depend on too many variables, including your server setup and personal preference, I have decided to stick to the hard facts for this feature comparison between OptinMonster and Optin Revolution.

In my comparison I track 29 different features for all the optin popup plugins. In OptinMonster you can find 22 out of 29 of those features. Optin Revolution on the other hand offers 16 out of the 29 features in total.

Even if many of the features compared above overlap between the two competing products there is one very important difference: OptinMonster as well as Optin Revolution both provide a unique interface from which you will create optin popup forms to collect emails and create conversions. Since it is hard to rate the quality of such an interface objectively I recommend that you try both products yourself before deciding for one.
OptinMonster vs Optin Revolution Price Comparison
WPscoop indexes the exact prixing plans of all compared plugins. Please refer to the table below for a quick overview of the prices of OptinMonster and Optin Revolution.
To find the cheaper optin plugin for your individual needs please go to my main comparison article. There you can search for the features you need and then see the exact price you would need to pay for OptinMonster or Optin Revolution (as well as other alternatives).
| Price | OptinMonster | Optin Revolution |
|---|---|---|
| Minimum (1 Site) | 49.00 USD | 0.00 USD |
| Maximum (1 Site) | 199.00 USD | 77.00 USD |
| Minimum (10 Sites) | 199.00 USD | 0.00 USD |
| Maximum (10 Sites) | 199.00 USD | 97.00 USD |
Explanations: The minimum price compared above is the lowest price a product is available for, e.g. the version with the least features. The maximum price listed is for a version of the product that includes all features. For plugins that charge per addon it factors in the cost of all available addons. For some products the price increases if you want to use it on more than 1 WordPress site – the listed price for 10 sites shows if that is the case.
Disclaimer: While we update this comparison regularly we can not guarantee the prices displayed above are still correct and take no responsibility if they changed.

Sir:
TY for any time and effort you spend thinking about and answering this request.
For the last several months I have been trying to have VA’s do basic work adding pop-ups to a site, adding audio to a PPT, saving as MP4, creating a landing page to show the PPT movie. Sadly, very little has been accomplished. The competency level is very low, yet the claims of competency are very high.
I do not choose to spend $100 – $500 for a plugin as I am only going to use the popup on 3 websites and not frequently. I would like to know of a free WP pop-up that actually does the basics, i.e. creates the popup, allows for some font manipulation like color, sets a timing delay, and lets me use phpList to capture emails. So far, all the popup free versions, if they have worked at all, have not allowed email capture.
PhpList is a free, basic email manager available in Quick Install via CPanel. It’s best feature is that it allows me to input my email list without having to prove email confirmations which then have to be reconfirmed as required by the bigger email management systems like AWeber.
Looking forward to your reply –
