No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

    I’ve been using WowOptin for quite some time and have had a great experience with it. I really like the pre-built templates, and I’ve also created custom designs with the help of AI. One of my favorite features is the A/B testing functionality, which allows me to test multiple opt-ins simultaneously and easily compare their performance. The customer support team has also been excellent. Whenever I’ve had a question or encountered an issue, they’ve been responsive, friendly, and always willing to help. I highly recommend WowOptin to anyone looking for an effective and easy-to-use opt-in solution.

    I have used several opt-in plugins on my various WordPress websites. But none really worked out for me. I then came across this plugin. Initially I was not sure whether this plugin will also work for me or not. But bank on, I found the perfect plugin to improve my marketing efforts. WowOptin has everything I wanted from an optin plugin.
