I tried Hellobar free version it was a great experience since the price is high, I hadn’t upgraded it to pro otherwise the overall experience was excellent. When I installed this plugin within ten days, I have collected 200+ email addresses.
If you look at the above pricing, you will realize why I said this plugin is not affordable for small-scale businesses. If you are using the Pro version of Hellobar, then share your experience with our team.
