    Pros
    I like best the ease of use in setting up this program to provide my website visitor's with a better on-site experience while also providing me with detailed metrics on those visitors.
    Sumo has a killer free option for creating a very effective email capture form. It has very detailed analytics and it intergrades with the popular platforms wordpress and shopify.
    Setting up Sumo on each of my websites was very intuitive and easy to accomplish. There are features that allow you to personalize the look and the experience visitors to the site will each have.
    Cons
    We only wanted to use ONE popup and couldnt. Horrible customer support with limited knowledge about their own product.
    You can't integrate with HubSpot until you pay for it. Managing it manually now, but could be a problem in the future.
    Sumo added popup in the footer without letting us know (ON A PAID SUBSCRIPTION!). We lost days to enable the implementation, and yet, the product isnt function.

    I use Sumo's free suite of tools on my Squarespace site, and I have been 'em for nearly three years.

    Reviewed 5 years ago

    A pain-free way to collect emails that go above and beyond what Squarespace and/or Mailchimp can offer to a startup/small business? Sumo has your back, hands down.

    Pros

    I love the (even at the freemium level) assorted tools they have for capturing emails. With a little bit of coding, you can customize your lead magnets, both in terms of appearance and delivery.

    Cons

    My only complaint with their suite of tools are their sharing tools, and this is nitpicky. I already have built-in share buttons on my CMS that look great on mobile and on a desktop. The Sumo tool was a real bother when I was using it (2015-2017). It even caused one of my followers to email and let me know it was a nuisance with this lagging (yet persistent in its following) behavior.

    Sumo saves your time and allows managing you websites sing up forms on the go.

    Reviewed 2 years ago

    So far Sumo free version is installed on two our websites and everyone is happy with is.

    Pros

    Code is easy to install via GTM. My favourite feature is smart mode for visibility, which really is helpfull when you need to add a sign up form to your website quickly.

    Cons

    Sumo is probabbly not that easy to use for new users or those who never used similar services or edited images.

    Easy to set up, but a bit clunky

    Reviewed 2 years ago

    SumoMe enabled me to get started free with an email marketing automation that would require a paid account with Mailchimp. It was a good way to get started testing things out. As I grow, I'm looking into moving to Mailchimp though.

    Pros

    It was easy to get started with my email campaigns and it was free. Automation was easy to get started even in the free version.

    Cons

    The interface leaves a bit to be desired. More guidance would be helpful. In the free version, stats are only available for 30 days. Integration with ThriveCart would be great.

    Stop Leaving Money On The Table!

    Reviewed 4 years ago

    Sumo which when I first started using was referred to as SumoMe has proven to be a worthy addition to my website arsenal and a valuable tool to recommend throughout my digital marketing consultancy. This set of tools has boost some of my clients email acquisition strategies as a number of clients where established brick and mortar stores but online virgins. SumoMe interface was really intuitive and presented very little headaches for my clients to wrap their heads around with a number of them collecting list of 1,000+ plus emails after previously struggling to even get 50 emails in the beginning. These tools definitely adds value to any arsenal !

    Pros

    Grow your email list seamlessly Address cart abandonment concerns Ability to collect email address from user on exit Discount Codes (ecommerce plan offers unique codes) Autoresponder And more

    Cons

    Free version advertises on your website Plans can be costly if site offers little ROI

    I really like sumo. I use a lot of its features on my blog. It helped a lot.

    Reviewed 5 years ago

    It helped incorporate features on my blog with ease that I wouldn't of been able to do otherwise.

    Pros

    I love that a lot of its features are easy to use. They come with very easy to use directions. It has a lot of features that costs money on other programs.

    Cons

    I use the free version, and I wish it had more choices for that. I also wish it had better choices for email. I have to use another program for that.

    Vendor response
