We use privy to collect email addresses online.
Pros
I like the integration with Shopify and MailChimp. This makes address collection pretty easy. There is more functionality that we haven't utilized.
Cons
I had a bad experience recently when I tried to find out the URL that my sign-ups were coming from.

Helped Our Company Immensely
It’s been great. They advertise list growth, and that’s what they do. Our list has grown tremendously since choosing Privy!
Pros
We use Privy for the pop up form that feeds to a list of contacts in Mailchimp. My favorite thing about Privy? It works. We have made so much money from the pop up coupon!
Cons
As your company grows, so does your bill. They bill on page views, which is fine. They’ve gotta make money somewhere.

BEWARE: MAJOR DE-DUPLICATION BUG
They seem like good people but their functionality is not ready for prime time and they have been sitting on this major bug for MONTHS and not telling their customers.
Pros
It's really too bad that I can't give the a higher rating as I'd love to. I really like the app and the customer service and easy integration. BUT...they have one giant Achilles Heel.
Cons
Their system allows for the same email address with different title cases to create duplicate records (e.g., person@email.com and Person@Email.com will create SEPARATE contacts) so you end up sending multiples to people all the time. You have to deduplicate your lists MANUALLY! The worst part is that they have known about this issue for months and have still not fixed it. De-duplication is the most fundamental feature of any email marketing program...it's staggering to me that they have let this go on for so long with no fix and have not even communicated the issue to their customers. Ask them about it before you sign up! Even better...test it an you'll see it happen.

Good user feedback tool but restricted
Pros
A good user feedback tool with lots of options pertaining to user targeting, user funneling, timing events, actions and page behaviour.
Cons
A good user feedback tool but restricted in that all user interactions require an email field.
