Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We faced a very debilitating situation where studiopress and Getresponse pop-ups were not integrating (at all!) last year (Nov. 2021, HOWEVER, Getresponse has now resolved the gap). At that point in time, both the said platforms indicated that they do not support "third parties" and recommended "developer intervention"....in situation where we would be having nearly 250 pop-ups across the 70+ page website. We sought internal control (limited programmer dependency) and wanted a plugin that could fill this gap and convertplug came to our rescue big time! It is very affordable, charges are one-time (yes!) and pop-up customization, marketing and tracking depth are immense.

Pros and Cons

Integrates well with Wordpress, Studiopress (genesis) and all major email marketing software
Impressive variety of pop-ups and ability to customize those
"light loading" (less page load time) and mobile friendly for sure
Impressive "pop-up behaviour" customization ....right from "When and where on website" to "Which specific country" and much more
Adaptable to subscription or e-commerce website architecture as well

Look and feel of templates could use greater westernization. Colors tend to be more oriental/Bright oriented - However color pallets can be changed easily
Covert Plus: PLEASE also bring in a content locker!

Likelihood to Recommend

Very well suited for ANY serious website operator - be it services, info-products or e-commerce. It's not just list marketing but pop-ups. Basis our usage experience, we never found any restrictive-case use situations

Alternatives Considered

OptinMonster and Elementor

The above and various other plugins/software were either not compatible with some of our software OR were too expensive (often with recurring costs vs. one-time) OR offered too many add-on features that weren't needed. It took us nearly 40 expensive man-hours to test and narrow down on this particular plugin that met all requirements in a go

Other Software Used

Google Ads, Google AdSense, Google Analytics, SpyFu, FileZilla, Google Analytics 360

Products Replaced

Yes

It replaced pop-ups from Getresponse (GR). GR pop-ups, although free with their paid plans, were at that point in time (2011) not compatible with studiopress

Key Differentiators

Price
Product Features
Product Usability

It was a life-saver. At a breakneck, non-recurring price, it gives us exactly what we want: swift, light-loading, mobile friendly pop-ups that can run on studiopress and pass on subscriber data to Get Response.
