Best Popup WordPress Plugins

11 plugins · 2.5M combined installs · 4.6/5 avg rating

Popup plugins let WordPress site owners display targeted overlays, slide-ins, banners, and notification bars to capture email subscribers, promote offers, reduce cart abandonment, and surface important messages at strategic moments in the user journey. The most effective WordPress popup plugins support advanced triggering rules — exit intent, scroll percentage, time on page, page-specific targeting, and returning visitor logic — to display messages when conversion probability is highest. OptinMonster, Popup Maker, and Hustle are popular across bloggers, ecommerce sites, and marketing teams. When implemented with restraint and good UX, popups remain one of the highest-performing tools for growing email lists and driving on-site conversions.
