Companies Using BDOW
We detect BDOW on 13,721 domains, tenth in the Popups & Lead Capture category at 3.2%. The name is new; the footprint is not. BDOW is the rebranded Sumo, and our rule matches the sumo and sumome globals it still serves.
The age data shows that history plainly: 56.91% of the companies we can identify were founded in the 2010s, the oldest concentration of any tool we profiled in this category. This is a base that arrived a decade ago and has been shrinking since.

BDOW Usage Statistics
Our current crawl window covers June to August 2026: 12,635 → 13,687 → 13,721. The June to July step overlaps our corpus expanding; the July to August step is 34 domains, which is flat. The category's momentum data has it at about −470 over 30 days and −410 over 90. The number that says most is acquisition: BDOW added only 191 domains in 30 days against 664 that dropped it, the weakest ratio of any tool we profiled in this category.

There are 13,721 companies and domains where we detect BDOW, sign up to download the entire BDOW dataset.
Which Countries Use BDOW the Most?
The United States accounts for 3,216 of the companies we can place, then the United Kingdom (405), Australia (344), Canada (307) and France (304). The gap between the US and everywhere else is eight to one, wider than most of this category, which fits a product whose growth years were driven by English-language content marketing.
Share of the 6,981 BDOW domains we matched to a company record — 50.9% of the 13,721 we detect. Top 15 countries shown, so these do not sum to 100%. Domains with no matching company record are not represented here and skew small and independent.
BDOW Market Share Among Popups & Lead Capture
BDOW is tenth of the 64 technologies in Popups & Lead Capture at 3.2% of 427,401 domains. Read that against what Sumo was: in the mid-2010s it was one of the most widely installed email-capture tools on the web. What remains is a tenth-place footprint that is not being replenished.
Top Competitors by Market Share
BDOW Customers by Company Size & Age
72.35% of the companies we can size have 10 employees or fewer and 19.3% have 11 to 50. Small publishers, consultancies and agencies — the audience that adopted Sumo when list-building was the dominant content-marketing tactic.
Company Size Distribution
Company Age (Founded Decade)
56.91% were founded in the 2010s, the highest single-decade concentration of anything we profiled in this category, with 18.63% in the 2000s and only 8.11% in the 2020s. That distribution is a timestamp. It records when the product won its base, and the thin 2020s share records that it has not won much since.
What Industries Use BDOW the Most?
Advertising Services leads at 5.69%, then Business Consulting and Services at 3.56% and Professional Training and Coaching at 3.38%. Agencies, consultants and course sellers — the people who build an email list as the business model rather than as a channel.
The supporting signal is the platform mix: WordPress on 68.84% and RSS on 65.55%. Two thirds of these sites publish a feed. This is the content-marketing cohort, and the tool sits where a blog asks for an email address. It is a coherent audience and a shrinking one.
BDOW Alternatives & Competitors
OptinMonster (21,418 domains) is the closest like-for-like: a dedicated email-capture tool aimed at the same WordPress publisher. POWR (53,506), Privy (37,810) and Mailmunch (35,008) are larger. The more relevant competition is not in this table at all — an email platform's own embedded forms are detected as the email tool, not here.

|---|---|---|

| 53,506 | 12.52% | |

Tech Stack of BDOW-Powered Websites
WordPress on 68.84%, RSS on 65.55%, Yoast SEO on 37.91%, Contact Form 7 on 24.75% and Facebook Pixel on 34.61%. jQuery reaches 92.13% and jQuery Migrate 63.31%, the highest legacy-jQuery signature in this category. The stack dates the base as clearly as the founding years do.

Expert Analysis: BDOW Growth Trends & Key Signals for Sales Teams in 2026

I analyse adoption data at TechnologyChecker. BDOW is on 13,721 active domains across 6,981 enriched companies, tenth in Popups & Lead Capture at 3.2%. This is the clearest example in our data of a footprint that is a historical record rather than a current market position.
1. The name is new, the installs are not
BDOW is Sumo. Our rule matches the sumo and sumome JavaScript globals and scripts served from sumo.com, because that is still what the product ships. In the mid-2010s Sumo was one of the most widely installed email-capture tools on the web, bundled with a share bar and pushed hard through content marketing.
What we detect today is the residue of that period, still serving the script it was given.
2. The founding years are a timestamp
56.91% of the companies we can identify were founded in the 2010s — the highest single-decade concentration of anything I profiled in this category. 18.63% in the 2000s. Only 8.11% in the 2020s.
"A founding-year distribution that spikes in one decade is not a customer profile. It is a record of when the product won, and how little it has won since." - Emma Davies, Data Analyst at TechnologyChecker.io
The stack says the same thing from another angle: WordPress 68.84%, RSS 65.55%, Yoast SEO 37.91%, Contact Form 7 24.75%, and jQuery at 92.13% with jQuery Migrate at 63.31% — the heaviest legacy-jQuery signature in this category. Two thirds of these sites publish a feed. This is the blog-and-email-list cohort, preserved.
3. The number that settles it is acquisition, not churn
BDOW added 191 domains over 30 days against 664 that dropped it. That ratio — roughly one new site for every three and a half lost — is the weakest of any tool I profiled in this category. Its churn rate of 4.8% is actually the lowest of the four.
That combination is worth sitting with. BDOW is not leaking customers unusually fast. It is simply not acquiring. A tool with low churn and no acquisition looks stable for a while and then does not, and the monthly series shows exactly that: 12,635 in June, 13,687 in July, 13,721 in August. The last step is 34 domains.
4. The audience is coherent, which makes the decline legible
Advertising Services 5.69%, Business Consulting 3.56%, Professional Training and Coaching 3.38%. Agencies, consultants and course sellers — people for whom an email list is the business model rather than a marketing channel. 72.35% are under ten employees. The United States accounts for 3,216 of the companies we can place against 405 in the UK, an eight-to-one gap that fits a product whose growth came from English-language content marketing.
Nothing about that audience has disappeared. What changed is where they capture email: an email platform's own embedded forms are detected as the email tool, not in this category, so part of this decline is consolidation this ranking structurally cannot see.
5. Nobody is taking these customers
Of the 1,360 domains that dropped BDOW entirely, 12 now run OptiMonk, 10 run Popup Maker and 6 run POWR — 0.88% to the largest destination. OptinMonster, the closest like-for-like at 21,418 domains, is not absorbing them either.
The base is leaving without being replaced. For anyone selling into this space that is the useful distinction: these are not accounts being competed away, they are sites that stopped doing the thing the tool was for.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who uses BDOW?
We detect BDOW on 13,721 domains, including Zebra Technology Corporation, Arm, Trend Micro Incorporated. A detection means the technology is present on that domain, which for large organisations is often a single storefront or subdomain rather than a company-wide deployment. Among domains we matched to a company with a resolved industry, the most common is Advertising Services (5.69%).
How many customers does BDOW have?
We detect 13,721 domains running BDOW across our monthly crawl of live business domains. Company data could be matched for 6,981 of them (50.9%), and every company-size, industry and country breakdown on this page describes that matched subset rather than the full detected base. A further 1,524 domains carried a BDOW detection previously and no longer do.
What is BDOW's market share?
BDOW holds 3.21% of the Popups & Lead Capture category, ranking #10. This is a share of the domains we detect running a platform in this category — not a share of all websites, and not a share of spending — so it is not directly comparable to figures published on other denominators.
What are the best alternatives to BDOW?
The top alternatives to BDOW include Popup Maker (27.32% market share), POWR (12.52% market share), Privy (8.85% market share), Mailmunch (8.19% market share) — measured as a share of the domains we detect running a platform in this category.
Which countries use BDOW the most?
United States leads with 3,216 matched BDOW domains, followed by United Kingdom (405), Australia (344), Canada (307), France (304). These are counts within the 6,981 domains we could match to a company record, not the full detected base.
What size companies use BDOW?
The most common company size is 1-10 employees, representing 72.35% of the BDOW domains we could match to a company record and size — a subset of 6,981 matched companies, not of all 13,721 detected domains. This is followed by 11-50 employees (19.3%) and 51-200 employees (5.72%).
How old are companies that use BDOW?
Among the BDOW domains we could match to a company with a known founding date, most were founded in the 2020s (8.11%), followed by the 2010s (56.91%). That matched subset is drawn from 6,981 companies and is not representative of all 13,721 detected domains. This suggests BDOW is most popular among relatively young companies.
What is the ideal customer profile for BDOW?
The ideal BDOW customer is: Platform: WordPress, Company Size: 1-10 employees, Industry: Agencies and consultancies, Location: United States, Founded: 2010s — based on our analysis of 6,981 enriched companies at TechnologyChecker.io.
What is BDOW?
BDOW is the current name of Sumo, the email-capture and share-button suite that was one of the most widely installed tools on WordPress blogs in the mid-2010s. Our detection still matches the original assets — the sumo and sumome JavaScript globals and scripts served from sumo.com — because that is what the product continues to ship.
How many websites use BDOW?
We detect BDOW on 13,721 active domains, tenth in the Popups & Lead Capture category at 3.2%. Our window runs 12,635 in June to 13,721 in August 2026, and the July-to-August step is 34 domains, which is flat.
Is BDOW growing or shrinking?
Shrinking, and the acquisition number is the clearest evidence. BDOW added 191 domains over 30 days against 664 that dropped it — the weakest add-to-churn ratio of any tool we profiled in this category. The category's momentum data has it at roughly −470 over 30 days and −410 over 90.
Who still uses BDOW?
The 2010s content-marketing cohort. 56.91% of the companies we can identify were founded in the 2010s, the highest single-decade concentration in this category, and the top industries are Advertising Services (5.69%), Business Consulting (3.56%) and Professional Training and Coaching (3.38%). Agencies, consultants and course sellers — people for whom the email list is the business model.
What platform does BDOW run on?
Mostly WordPress: 68.84% of its domains run WordPress and 65.55% publish an RSS feed, with Yoast SEO on 37.91% and Contact Form 7 on 24.75%. jQuery reaches 92.13% and jQuery Migrate 63.31%, the heaviest legacy-jQuery signature in this category. The stack dates the base as clearly as the founding years do.
BDOW vs OptinMonster?
OptinMonster is larger at 21,418 domains against 13,721, and it is the closest like-for-like: a dedicated email-capture tool aimed at the same WordPress publisher. The more relevant competition is not in this category at all — an email platform's own embedded forms are detected as the email tool rather than here, so part of what looks like decline is consolidation this ranking cannot see.
Do sites move from BDOW to a competitor?
No. Of the 1,360 domains that dropped it entirely, 12 now run OptiMonk, 10 run Popup Maker and 6 run POWR — 0.88% to the largest destination. The base is leaving without being replaced, which is a different problem from losing to a rival.
