If you subscribe to a service from a link on this page, Reeves and Sons Limited may earn a commission. See our ethics statement.

Bounce Exchange, a leading app on the exit-intent market, is an extremely expensive choice, prices starting at $3.995 (no joke!), a price tag which might be a little out of the budget of a business thatโ€™s just starting out, therefore Iย have compiled a list of the bestย 9 Bounce Exchange alternatives:

In the following post I haveย compiled a top with the best plugins that will help you with this, not general email marketing tools but highly focused on ecommerce, offering numerous 3rd party service integrations and customizations.

Besides building a mailing list, the positive effects of which are clear (I hope), reducing the bounce rate is another result of using these exit intent plugins: instead of losing visitors, you basically convert them to potential future customers.

Most of the plugins are only usable on WordPress (WooCommerce), but the first one in the list works on Shopify as well. Enjoy!

OptinMonster (works with any type of website, including WordPress & Shopify)

OptinMonster ecommerce plugin

Pricing: $69-$399

OptinMonster is a premium lead generation app that allows you to quickly and easily built opt-in forms, perform A/B testing, and track your opt-in analytics.

The plugin is focused heavily on pop-up opt-in forms, with lots of available customization options for you to create professional-looking and high-converting lightbox forms.

Because the app tracks mouse movements to determine โ€œexit-intent,โ€ pop-ups will only appear when your visitor is about to leave your site, so you donโ€™t have to worry about interrupting visitors when theyโ€™re still browsing the page.

Using the app, you can build not only pop-up forms but opt-in forms in sidebars, after posts, footers, etc.

It makes it easy to create a professional-looking opt-in form in just a few minutes, plus it allows you to optimize your conversion rates with built-in analytics and easy A/B split testing.

Picreel is an exit intent technology plugin that gives you control over the movement of traffic out of your website. This technology is useful in reducing site bounce rates and converting the exiting visitors into targeted leads.

Even if your offers are superior and the overall experience on your ecommerce site is excellent, it is common for the majority of visitors try to exit after a short stay. We understand this behavior very well after working with many brands in maximizing on their online traffic for over ten years.

This exit intent technology application monitors mouse movement and velocity of website visitors. Using data collected, it detects when they are about to leave the site, and this is countered with timed popups designed to prevent the exit.

The plugin is fairly easy to use and the signup is a breeze. The free 30 days trial made it myย favorite Bounce Exchange alternative.

Picreel exists as a Shopify app as well.

Picreel key features:

  • Exit intent technology
  • Free trial

Omniconvert allows for a wide variety of banners to be triggered on-exit intent: header & footer ribbons, sidebar banners, interstitials & classic popup banners. Besides triggering the overlayers on-exit intent you can also trigger them on-load, on-scroll or on click.

The overlayers can be shown to all the visitors or just part of them. You can choose to segment the who sees your banner with the help of over 40 different segmentation criteria including location, technology, traffic source, on-site behaviour etc.

Another cool feature is the ability to run two different overlayers in the same time for the same audience. This way you can see which of them performs better in terms of conversion rate.

    Hello Catalin,
    Bloom is not exit-intend solution. Unfortunately they still miss that feature.

      Hi Jochen,

      Bloom doesn’t has an built in exit intent option yet, but we’re expecting Elegant Themes to add this option in the future.

  2. SanyDin says:

    Pretty costly..beneficial when you have good relevant traffic flow. helpful though

  3. Sarah says:

    Ah controversial pop ups! Very interesting post. Recently, my live chat provider, Visitlead, started offering an exit intent widget so I decided to give it a try and I have to say that they are very effective. A must have!

  4. Jagmal Singh says:

    Hi Catalin,

    Nice article. I would also request you to give Connecto (www.connecto.io) a try. We also allow you to create Exit popups and integrate with any CRM/backend system (if you capture email/data).

    There are still lot of things that we can do better and I would love your feedback.

    Regards,
    Jagmal

    We’ve been using Exit Monitor for years http://exitmonitor.com. These guys are truly the best at what they do!

  6. SeaTeaSnow says:

    You forgot Justuno.com! Most of these solutions only focus on email collection… there’s much to be said for social capture, as well as email capture, and of course, increasing sales conversions. Justuno does all three angles.

    1. Bill says:

      Justuno rates are tremendously high. $208 per month for 45,000 visitors is going to price a lot of startups out of the market. Too much

      1. Travis says:

        Hi bill,

        I think maybe you read our pricing page wrong. Our pricing was never that high. Our pro plan offers up to 50k visitors for $99 a month and that’s without any quarterly or annual discount or coupons that we give out right on our site. You can generally get it for $70-80 a month with all of that and we offer far more features then the rest here.

  7. Herรฉb Krisztina says:

    Thanks for the kind words here Catalin! ๐Ÿ™‚
