HelloBar is simple to use and does the job
Helps me convert visitors and curate where I want them to go. I saw from heatmapping that people went to the hellobar before any of our CTA Buttons!
PROSI'm not a huge fan of sumome because there's TOO MANY OPTIONS. I use HelloBar on most WordPress sites that I manage. My favorite thing about it is the easy A/B testing.
CONSI have to use Zapier to connect it to Ontraport. It's only a tiny inconvenience.

Easy to setup use HelloBar Notifications
I must say the HelloBar is quite useful for small to large-scale industries. If you have small or SaaS based business or something like Lead Generation is your primary things then must go with the HelloBar.
PROSFrom Integration to setup the Hellobar is a quite an easy experience. HelloBar is a only my first options before 3 years ago.
CONSThere must be more options for FOMO grade notifications like Announcements, Popups, Timers, Integrations for reviews, sales, Visitors numbers, etc... Those are very important nowadays which are provided from other competitors in the market. HelloBar is more over the Conversion based service for your website.
Reason for choosing Hello Bar
WiserNotify is the new grade Social Proof product with having tons of options compare to HelloBar and those features are mindblowing too.

They stopped maintaining the software
Was affordable before. Backed by [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN].
CONSHellobar was great, 2 years ago... They stopped maintaining the software. Support is now outsourced to god knows where and they are not helpful. Out of a sudden we started experiencing bugs. They trashed our traffic and keep lying about it. Switching providers as this is totally unacceptable. There are plenty of options and it's not good value anymore.

Hello Bar puts lead generation on overdrive
Overall this is a very good tool to capture leads and grow your business. It added new features over the years and makes it very easy to get started. All the years of user feedback has made this a tool that evolved and constantly gets improved. If you have any site, it's a great idea to play around with Hello Bar and see what difference it makes. I found it very easy to use and definitely recommend it.
PROSHello Bar offers multiple ways to collect emails and they all look great on my site. There are many templates to choose from and customization is easy too. This is a very solid platform that makes it very easy to get started. I don't like complicated tools and settings and was glad to experience how easy Hello Bar makes it to start collecting emails on your sites.
CONSHello Bar is a solid tool, but over the years other tools copied (and sometimes improved) the technology. That being said, Hello Bar also evolved and now has more features that marketers will love. I hope the team stays on top of new technological trends.

Honest Hellobar Review
I'm impressed with Hellobar because of it targeting option. It let me drill down in to the right set of audience that I need to convert in to clients. With this incredible tool, it's very easy to generate leads by informing my audience about a promotion.
PROSHellobar is a 5-figure and affordable lead capturing tool design to capture and grow your email list. It has great user interface and light popups that converts traffic very fast in to ideal leads.
CONSHellobar has been a perfect resource over the years and I have know problem with it

Great Product, but Hard to Get Support
Overall, my experience has been positive. I will say that I've struggled to get the support I need in answering questions and solving problems. There's no number to call, only a chat that takes over an hour for a response.
PROSI love how easy it is to set it up and customize it for different pages.
CONSThe software is not very conducive to things like adding to posts only and other capabilities that exist in other pop-up plugins.

The Market Caught Up
It was a great service that did not evolve with the times to stay current. It does what you need it to do, but if you should have better alternatives as close to free as possible.
PROSAt the start Hello Bar did one important thing well: it gave you an eye-catching contrast header at the top of your website/blog. It allowed you to serve a call to action and it was the King of the Jungle.
CONSThe rest of the internet and web developers and themes and plugins and everyone else caught up. What was once the gold standard became common place overnight.

There are no surprises, all claims this program makes it follows through!
We added this to our website and would update it frequently to cater to our immediate needs at the time.
PROSThere is no guesswork to this program. It is straight-forward and easy to set up and use. It is very easy to update and also customize for your needs.
CONSWe needed the paid version to get the features we needed, but didn't need all the features that the paid version included. Would have liked a smaller tier.

Hello Bar to the rescue
Easy to work with. Responsive team with great ideas. It literally turned a serious business concern into a strength for us. Highly recommended.
PROSIt's easy to ease, and more importantly, highly effective. Our new contacts were down 35% compared to last year. Within a month, we are 25% ahead of last year.
CONSFear of the unknown. I was worried that it would make our B2B website look too 'retail'. I was so wrong. It works great for all of our customer types.

Simple but limited functionality
Hellobar is great for smaller business starting out with banner popups and personalizations. For multiple banners thought, it became tedious to work with and relatively glitchy when trying to incorporate more advanced design features (ex countdown timer, imagery within the banner,
PROSFunctional for single line of text sticky banners. Ease to teach others how it worked
CONSThe platform was very slow & glitchy. While it was effective in getting simple messages out, the time consumed in making minor edits made otherwise small edits a tedious and drawn out process, that sometimes resulted in the browser needing to be restarted altogether because of slow/failed loads.

A Game Changer for My Email List
Hello Bar is an exceptional tool that has revolutionized my email list-building strategy. Its user-friendly interface, powerful targeting options, and seamless integrations have made it an indispensable part of my marketing toolkit. The landing page builder and advanced targeting might have a slight learning curve. However, the benefits outweigh the drawbacks. Overall, it's an effective and reliable tool for capturing leads and growing your email list.
PROSHello Bar has significantly boosted my email list growth. Targeting specific website visitors with relevant lead magnets and offers has been a game-changer. I can easily identify which messages resonate best, enabling me to improve my campaigns continuously.
CONSUsers with more advanced needs may find its simple landing page designs inadequate.

A User-Friendly Tool for Lead Capture
Hello Bar is a fantastic tool for businesses looking to build their email lists and generate leads. It's user-friendly, effective, and delivers a strong return on investment. While there might be more comprehensive marketing automation platforms out there, Hello Bar excels in simplicity and ease of use.
PROSEven with limited tech knowledge, creating and launching Hello Bar campaigns was a breeze. The intuitive interface makes it easy to navigate and customize elements.
CONSI can't think of any such point as of now.
