Introduction

Revelry, a successful WooCommerce brand, leverages email list popups to significantly boost their revenue, with ecommerce brands earning up to 40% of their revenue from their email list.
Dave aims to recreate Revelry's effective popup across four different services, evaluating each for ease of use, compatibility, integrations, and design flexibility.

Convertbox

Pros: Easy integration with various platforms, lifetime deal for $500 (up to ten websites and 250k page views per month), simplicity, and ease of use for non-power users.
Cons: Limited design flexibility, cannot create pixel-perfect designs, limited typography options, no outline options for buttons, and padding issues.
Ideal for: Those seeking a straightforward tool with basic functionality and a one-time payment option.

Optimunk

Pros: Free plan available, more design and layout options compared to Convertbox, ability to resize canvas, and more comprehensive typography and styling options.
Cons: More complex and time-consuming to set up, the free plan includes Optimunk branding, and higher tiers are required for unbranded versions.
Ideal for: New WooCommerce users starting out or businesses planning to scale and requiring more design flexibility.

Elementor (WordPress)

Pros: Affordable ($49/year), full website building capabilities including popup design, quick setup, and extensive typography options.
Cons: Limited by WordPress platform use, some design limitations like centering text and adjusting item spacing without custom coding.
Ideal for: WordPress users needing an all-in-one website and popup builder at a low annual cost.

Convert Pro (WordPress)

Pros: Intuitive placement and sizing of elements, affordable pricing ($79/year for unlimited websites), and advanced styling options.
Cons: Minor user interface annoyances, issues with background overlays in preview, and limitations with close button customization.
Ideal for: WordPress users looking for a versatile popup builder with precise control over design elements and a preference for direct manipulation over complex settings.

Conclusion

Dave concludes that all the tools have their strengths and can be suitable for different types of users. Convertbox offers simplicity and a lifetime deal; Optimunk provides design flexibility; Elementor is best for those already using WordPress and needing a quick solution; Convert Pro offers the best blend of design flexibility and ease of use for WordPress sites.
The choice of popup builder should be based on compatibility with your website, integration with your email service provider, and the specific features you need, such as A/B testing and analytics.
