Hey gilt.

As for this topic, a lot of bloggers have done comprehensive review about these tools.

Before i answer your question.

I have a question that i would like to ask.
How many subscribers do you have currently? What is your budget? And what host did you use?

The reason i asked these questions because, it all depends on your needs. For example: If you prefer fast site but you want all sorts of features then i could recommend you to use thrive plugins.

If you have a great host then i would recommend you other plugin.

If you consider on getting great design and you got a lot of money to spend, then i will consider you optin monster ( this is for example only ).

So if you answer these question, it will help me & others to answer your question

Hello triumphdev,

Thank you for your kind revert.

Please find my answers inline

How many subscribers do you have currently?
200-300, I have just started building my list with few strategies.

What is your budget?
not sure, again my concerns is, it good to pay monthly recurring fees for these features.

what host did you use?
hostgator Business

I have tried sumome free version, options & features are limited, pro price is scary. also site speed is hampered.

Thanks!

Regards,
Git

Thanks Nomad,

I'm learning a lot!

Can we target subscribed users with any of these tools?

Instead of asking questions like that in here, get Thrive, learn about it and then come back here to contribute.
Quick answer: of course you can... They have a dedicated support team to tell you how.

Hello Nomad,

Thanks for friendly advice.

I believe, it's is obvious to get confused because their are hundreds of list building solutions & each with different outlook & pricing. My questions may help many newbies.

My questions are obvious if somebody is diving in details with it.

-Most free list building plugins cost more with their addons, do I need to buy anything more?
-Which email marketing provided goes well with which list building plugin?
-Which one of it is light weight plugin?
-For conversion good design are much, which one gives best flexibility?
-*I don't want to annoy my visitors (top priority), which software handles it best?

As their are hundreds of solutions, I see thousands are promoters.

If it was so straight forward, why their is huge difference in pricing?

I have invested big time creating freebies & courses for my visitors. I want to utilize it right.
May it be organic traffic or paid investment is a lot.

Optinmonster cost me $20 per month
Sumome is free but not working for me.
Thriveleads is $67
Bloom is $89
Convertplug is for $21
Or I have to go for 5 free plug-in's 5 set-ups.

Thanks!

Regards,
Gil

I found answers to my questions, thought to share with you all.

From all of above, if you are on WordPress Platform go for
ThriveLeads or ConvertPlug
Why?
Light weight plugin - both will not hamper you site speed.
Cost saving- both are one time purchase & you save a lot!
Design & flexibility - You will need more time getting familiar with design options. ConvertPlug UI is awesome, both have good flexibility.
Annoyance - both have repetition control options.
Features - all latest list building features are available.

Hey Git, actually I've tried all of them (well, except ConvertPlug, but I checked their sales page) and I can tell you for sure which one is the best - Thrive Leads.

Really, when you compare them all you will see that Thrive Leads gives the most features and it's the most comprehensive plugin out of the all mentioned here, for the price they charge it for.

I use it personally on all of my websites and is probably my favorite WP plugin.
