There are 116,786 companies and websites using Popup Maker, sign up to download the entire Popup Maker dataset.

The largest organisations we detect running Popup Maker are NASA, Quest Diagnostics, Papa John's, Penguin Random House and Northeastern University. Read the detection paths before reading these as enterprise standardisation: we find it on insurance.questdiagnostics.com, give.bcm.edu, controller.phila.gov and fmp.ccsd.net. These are departmental and campaign microsites built on WordPress, not corporate platform decisions — which is exactly what a free plugin adopted team-by-team looks like at scale.

Which Countries Use Popup Maker the Most?

The United States accounts for 29.73% of placeable companies (25,078), which is unusually low for a tool in this category and reflects how broadly a free WordPress plugin spreads. India is second at 7.99% (6,740), ahead of Germany at 6.04%, the United Kingdom at 5.67% and France at 4.90%. Eleven countries clear the 1% mark, so this is a genuinely distributed install base rather than a US product with an international tail.

Popup Maker Market Share Among Popups & Lead Capture

Popup Maker is the largest popup and lead-capture tool we detect, on 116,786 active domains for a 27.32% share of the category — more than double second-placed POWR at 12.52%. The gap is a distribution story rather than a feature one: Popup Maker ships free on the WordPress plugin directory, where WordPress.org reports 700,000 active installations and 20.9 million all-time downloads, while most of the tools below it are paid SaaS products sold per site.

Popup Maker Customers by Company Size & Age

82.49% of matched companies have fewer than 50 employees — 54.18% at 1-10 and 28.31% at 11-50 — and only 1.34% have more than 1,000. That is the sharpest small-business skew in the category and it follows directly from the pricing model: a free plugin with no impression cap removes the cost barrier that usually keeps popup software out of one- and two-person sites.

What Industries Use Popup Maker the Most?

Popup Maker has no dominant vertical at all. The largest industry is Construction at just 3.50%, followed by Medical Practices at 3.47% and IT Services at 3.42% — a spread of barely one-tenth of a percentage point across the top three.

Construction2,664 (3.5%)
Medical Practices2,635 (3.47%)
IT Services and IT Consulting2,597 (3.42%)
Business Consulting and Services2,353 (3.09%)
Hospitals and Health Care2,166 (2.85%)
Real Estate2,106 (2.77%)

That flatness is itself the finding. Tools in this category normally lean hard into one vertical — ecommerce for Privy and Mailmunch, agencies for POWR — and the leading industry usually takes 8-15% of the base. Popup Maker's curve stays under 3.5% the whole way down because it is a horizontal utility: a dentist announcing new hours, a contractor running a quote form and a university promoting an open day all install the same plugin for the same reason. When you see a category leader with a flat industry curve, it is usually competing on distribution rather than on fit for any particular buyer.

Popup Maker Alternatives & Competitors

Popup Maker's four nearest competitors — POWR (12.52%), Privy (8.85%), Mailmunch (8.19%) and Poptin (6.05%) — are all cross-platform, hosted products that work on Shopify, Wix and Squarespace as well as WordPress. Popup Maker competes on none of that. 99.64% of the domains we detect it on also run WordPress, so its entire addressable market is a single CMS, and it still leads the category by more than two to one.

Popup Maker Customer Migration

Movement runs strongly toward Popup Maker. Across the fourteen category competitors we tracked, inbound moves outnumber outbound by more than ten to one, led by 45 domains arriving from Buttonizer and 32 from OptinMonster, against 7 and 1 going the other way. Treat this as a direction, not a trend: we began tracking Popup Maker on 4 August 2026, so this is a short observation window and the counts will firm up as it lengthens.

Tech Stack of Popup Maker-Powered Websites

The stack around Popup Maker is a WordPress stack and very little else. WordPress appears on 99.64% of its domains, Google Analytics on 67.85% and Contact Form 7 on 45.04% — the last of which matters commercially, because it means nearly half of Popup Maker's base already runs a free form plugin and is capturing leads without paying for a form product. Gravity Forms (11.86%) and WPForms (6.96%) take the paid remainder.

Popup Maker Customer Reviews with Pros and Cons

Popup Maker holds a 4.9 out of 5 rating across 4,503 reviews on WordPress.org, with 4,276 of them (95.0%) at five stars against 55 one-star ratings. The volume matters as much as the score: it is roughly an order of magnitude more rated feedback than the hosted tools in this category collect, because every one of the 700,000 installations passes through a directory that prompts for a review. The plugin has shipped continuously since 17 November 2014 and was last updated on 15 August 2026.

Generated from real user reviews on WordPress.org

Pros
  • Reviewers consistently highlight the free core plugin with no popup, impression or traffic limits — the feature most often named as the reason for choosing it over hosted tools.
  • The conditions and triggers system draws repeated praise for letting non-developers target popups by page, post type, user role, referrer and click without touching code.
  • Reviewers note it works with any theme and the common form plugins, so an existing Contact Form 7 or Gravity Forms build drops straight into a popup.
  • Support responsiveness is frequently praised, and the public record backs it: all 11 open support threads were resolved at the time of our August 2026 review.
Cons
  • Advanced targeting, A/B testing and most third-party integrations sit behind paid extensions, which is the most common complaint from reviewers who outgrow the free tier.
  • The conditions UI has a genuine learning curve — the same flexibility reviewers praise is what makes the first popup slower to configure than a hosted builder.
  • There is no hosted analytics dashboard; conversion reporting depends on Google Analytics or another external tool, which our stack data shows 67.85% of installs already run.
  • It is WordPress-only. Teams replatforming to Shopify, Webflow or a headless stack cannot take it with them — unlike the cross-platform tools ranked below it.

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

Emma Davies
Emma DaviesData Analyst, TechnologyChecker

As a data analyst working with technographic detection data at TechnologyChecker.io, I looked at Popup Maker across 86,589 enriched company records — a 74.1% match rate against 116,786 active domains, from our August 2026 crawl. Three things stood out, and two of them cut against how this category is usually described.

First, the industry curve is flat in a way category leaders usually are not. The top industry is Construction at 3.50%, with Medical Practices (3.47%) and IT Services (3.42%) within a tenth of a point. Compare that with the ecommerce concentration you see in Privy or Mailmunch. A leader with no vertical is a leader winning on distribution, not on fit — and the distribution here is the WordPress plugin directory, not a sales team.

Second, the enterprise names are not enterprise deployments. NASA, Quest Diagnostics and Philadelphia's city government all appear in our data, and it would be easy to write that up as enterprise adoption. The detection paths say otherwise: insurance.questdiagnostics.com, controller.phila.gov, give.bcm.edu. These are departmental microsites where a team picked a free plugin, not organisations that standardised on one. It is a useful reminder that a recognisable logo in technographic data tells you a domain was detected, not that a procurement decision was made.

Third, there is a gap between installs and detections worth naming plainly. WordPress.org reports 700,000 active installations; we detect 116,786 domains, about 16.7% of that. We do not think either number is wrong. Popup Maker only leaves a detectable trace on pages where a popup is actually configured to appear, so a site running it on one campaign page and nowhere else is invisible to a crawl that does not land on that page — and a large share of WordPress installs sit on staging, intranet and local sites that no public crawl reaches. Read our figure as the publicly observable footprint, and the WordPress.org number as total installations, including everything we cannot see.

For anyone weighing Popup Maker against a hosted alternative, the honest trade is the one the review data already shows: you get an uncapped free tier and unusually granular targeting, and you give up cross-platform portability. 99.64% of the domains we detect it on run WordPress. If there is any chance of replatforming, that number is the one to think about.

What size companies use Popup Maker?

The most common company size is 1-10 employees, representing 54.18% of Popup Maker customers, based on our analysis of 86,589 enriched companies. This is followed by 11-50 employees (28.31%) and 51-200 employees (11.23%).

The majority of Popup Maker customers were founded in the 2010s (35.63%), followed by the 2000s (19.79%), based on our analysis of 86,589 enriched companies. This suggests Popup Maker is most popular among relatively young companies.

What is the ideal customer profile for Popup Maker?

The ideal Popup Maker customer is: Company Size: 1-50 employees, Platform: WordPress, Location: US, India, Germany, or UK, Industry: No dominant vertical, Founded: 2000-2019 — based on our analysis of 86,589 enriched companies at TechnologyChecker.io.

How many websites use Popup Maker?

We detect 116,786 active domains running Popup Maker as of our August 2026 crawl, which makes it the most widely deployed tool in the popups and lead-capture category with a 27.32% share. WordPress.org separately reports 700,000 active installations — a larger figure, because it counts every install including staging, intranet and local sites that a public web crawl never reaches, and because Popup Maker only leaves a detectable trace on pages where a popup is configured to appear.

Is Popup Maker free?

The core plugin is free with no popup, impression or traffic limits, which is the single most common reason reviewers give for choosing it. Advanced targeting, A/B testing, and most third-party integrations are sold as paid extensions or bundles through wppopupmaker.com. That free core is what drives the category lead: it removes the per-site cost that keeps hosted popup tools out of small sites.

What kinds of companies use Popup Maker?

Overwhelmingly small ones, and from no particular industry. 82.49% of the companies we matched have fewer than 50 employees and only 1.34% have more than 1,000. There is no dominant vertical — Construction leads at just 3.50%, with Medical Practices and IT Services within a tenth of a point. Larger organisations do appear, including NASA, Quest Diagnostics and Papa John's, but typically on departmental or campaign microsites rather than as an organisation-wide standard.

Does Popup Maker only work with WordPress?

Yes. Popup Maker is a WordPress plugin and does not run on other platforms. Our stack data reflects that almost perfectly: 99.64% of the domains where we detect Popup Maker also run WordPress. This is the main practical difference between it and its nearest competitors — POWR, Privy, Mailmunch and Poptin are all cross-platform hosted products that also work on Shopify, Wix and Squarespace.

What are the main alternatives to Popup Maker?

The four largest alternatives we detect are POWR (12.52% category share), Privy (8.85%), Mailmunch (8.19%) and Poptin (6.05%). All four are hosted and cross-platform, so they suit teams that are not committed to WordPress or that run more than one platform. Within WordPress specifically, OptinMonster is the closest paid competitor — and in our tracking window it is also the second-largest source of domains moving to Popup Maker.

Are companies switching to or away from Popup Maker?

Movement runs toward it. Across the fourteen category competitors we track, domains arriving at Popup Maker outnumber those leaving by more than ten to one, led by 45 from Buttonizer and 32 from OptinMonster against 7 and 1 respectively going the other way. One caveat matters: we began tracking Popup Maker on 4 August 2026, so this is a short window and should be read as a direction rather than an established trend.

How well reviewed is Popup Maker?

It holds a 4.9 out of 5 rating from 4,503 reviews on WordPress.org, with 95.0% of those at five stars. The review volume is far higher than the hosted tools in this category collect, because every installation passes through a plugin directory that prompts for a review. Reviewers most often praise the uncapped free tier and the granular targeting conditions; the most common criticisms are that advanced features require paid extensions and that the conditions interface takes time to learn.
