Why is Poptin a Better Hello Bar Alternative?

icon - Unlimited Websites for Larger Teams

Unlimited Websites for Larger Teams

Our Agency plan is designed for larger teams and agencies. It allows you to connect an unlimited number of domains/websites, giving you the flexibility to create and manage targeted popups across all your projects. This lets you easily run promotions and offers specific to each website, boosting your overall business growth. Conversely, Hello Bar doesn't provide this feature on any of its plans.

icon - Autoresponders

Autoresponders

Poptin has a built-in autoresponder, which can be handy if you want to automate email responses as soon as action is taken on your popup offers. Hello Bar, on the other hand, integrates with separate email marketing tools. This requires an extra step to set up automated emails.

icon - Gamified popups

Gamified popups

Poptin offers several gamified popups including spin-the-wheel, pick a gift, and scratch cards. These turn a typical signup form or promotion into a fun and interactive experience. This playful twist can also ignite users' desire for rewards, making them more likely to engage and complete the desired action, whether it's subscribing to your email list, taking a survey, or claiming a discount. On the other hand, Hello Bar doesn't offer this option for its popups.

TRIGGER

Show the Right Popup at the Right Time

Trigger popups based on real visitor behavior for maximum engagement.

The exit intent popups are particularly helpful as they grab customers' attention at exactly the right moment.

Any Question?

FAQ

How are monthly visitors counted?

A unique monthly visitor is anyone who visits one of your website pages with our snippet in the last 30 days. A visitor may initiate several sessions and view multiple pages, but they will still only be counted as a single visitor as long as they didn't delete browser cookies or used a different device or browser.

How are active contacts counted?

Active Contacts are calculated based on the unique contacts that had a status of Subscribed or Unconfirmed at least once during the current billing cycle. Each contact is counted only once per billing cycle, regardless of how many times their status changes, how many emails are sent to them, or whether they appear across multiple subaccounts. A contact is counted towards your plan limit even if they later become Unsubscribed within the same billing cycle.

I have a small website, can I open an account for free?

Yes! You can open a free account which is unlimited for 1,000 visitors. No credit card is required.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes! You can cancel your paid plan anytime via the Billing page in the dashboard.

Which platforms can Poptin be used on?

Poptin can be used with any platform: WordPress, Shopify, Joomla, Magento, Drupal, Weebly, WIX, simple HTML websites, and many more.

Can I offer Poptin to my clients?

Yes! Owning an Agency plan allows you to create and manage user accounts for any one of your clients. You can also use our affiliate program.

What kind of conversion rates can I expect?

Conversion rates on your website may double, triple, or increase even more. The extent of the positive effect depends on several factors, such as the attractiveness of offers you make on the poptins you display, how many poptins you use, targeting, display timing, etc.

Will I need a developer to handle code embedding?

There is no need for a web developer, use of the Poptin system requires adding just a single line of code. In any case, you can send the code and instructions for embedding directly to a web developer. If you are not code-savvy and have no one to assist you, just contact our support and we will be happy to guide you along.

What are sub-accounts and users' management?

Owning an Agency or Growth plan allows you to create and manage sub-accounts for different customers, websites, or projects. Each sub-account can have its own set of popups, emails, and automations, letting you manage campaigns and collect data separately for each one.
You can also manage users and grant access to team members or clients, making it easy to collaborate while controlling each account from one dashboard.

Can I use my own designs?

Absolutely. Design your own popups and emails in any style or size and upload them seamlessly to the platform.

Is there an affiliate program?

Yes! The Poptin affiliate program is open to all and grants a lifetime 25% monthly commission for each new paying member recruited.

Is Poptin a Hello Bar alternative?

Yes! Poptin is a great Hello Bar alternative that can be used to create popups, inlines, and embedded forms quickly.
