Hello Bar review

Hello Bar made its name with the thin notification bar across the top of a page, and it still suits site owners who want that format plus a few popups without a learning curve. The free Starter plan includes unlimited popups and pre-built themes for up to 5,000 views. Paid plans include unlimited popups, subscribers and A/B tests and differ mainly in view allowance and support level: the plan cards list Growth at $39 per month billed annually for 50,000 popup views, Premium at $69 for 150,000 and Elite at $129 for 500,000 with unlimited seats. The comparison table further down the same page shows $29, $49 and $99, so confirm the price at checkout. Annual billing saves up to 24%, and no credit card is needed to start. Its published feature list is shorter than those of the larger tools on this list, with less detail on targeting rules and no gamified formats called out, so it fits simple announcement and signup use cases best.
