foundryfishing review for Privy ‑ Pop Ups, Email, & SMS
Aug. 15, 2019
Privy works great. I've used it for years with great success. I've lowered the rating to 3 stars entirely because of the way they now have their paid plan set up. I only use Privy for pop ups. I average around 5000 visitors a month which I thought would keep me in the free to use zone. However they count every page a customer views on your website. So this means I would at least need the 25,000 "pageview" plan that costs $35. For me it's not worth paying more than my entire Shopify subscription to make use of their pop up function. So I've switched to the MailMunch pop up. It's free and looks pretty similar to what I was using with Privy. To sum it up. If you are a low traffic store Privy's free option really is great. However, if you're like me adding another subscription for a simple pop up ad just doesn't feel worth it.
