Using a Social Proof Software is THE BEST decision you will ever make to grow your business. Social Proof notification pop-ups help you convert leads and boost sales.
Social Proof software work.
And you do not even know how to code! Anyone can use social proof software.
Sounds good?
A Social Proof software is an essential tool that should be part of all marketing stacks: it is an extra arrow to your bow, helping you convert more people, enhance your credibility, get more leads and boost sales.
If you are like me, you may (or may not) have stumbled upon a Social Proof software while visiting a website.
And it picked your attention.
Indeed, movement catches our attention.
You know, the little pop-up that comes on the screen, usually at the bottom-left corner, that says “John from California recently bought this pair of shoes. Verified by [insert name of company]”?
Other messages like:
- “Great room, fantastic view. 5 stars”
- “Only 2 pairs of shoes left in stock”
- “There are currently 75 people online looking at this webpage”
- “25 people joined the webinar,” etc.
Then, I went and tried a bunch of them and selected 3 widgets for the websites that I am managing.
If you are looking for a social proof software, we did a review after testing a bunch of them.
You are at the right place.
There is a wide selection of available Social Proof tools on the market.

We believe there are 3 areas where ProveSource distinguishes itself:
- Data Analytics: detailed data

- Tech: plenty of integrations, localization, as well as the possibility to use Webhooks, Regex and much more.
Data analytics: One of the most exciting aspects of ProveSource is the detailed data it gathers with its tracking and monitoring. List the data.

Amazing right?

2. Proof
What it is
Backed by the famous Y Combinator, Proof is probably one of the most popular, if not THE most popular Social Proof software on the market. Neil Patel, SamCart, Demio, Foundr, Consulting, Drift and plenty of other big names are using Proof.
Proof’s Social Proof tool is called “Pulse.” Proof says that 20,000 websites are using “Pulse” and that they average a 10% boost in conversion.
“Easily personalize your website for every visitor. Relevant, personalized experiences are proven to increase conversions. Proof makes it easy. Let's make the internet delightfully human.” source: useproof.com
As of Q1 2020, they just launched a completely revamped website with a new tool called “Experiences,” which is now the primary tool they are promoting.
“Pulse” is the Social Proof pop-up notifications.
“Experiences” is an enterprise-level content customizer.
It allows you to customize content depending on who is looking at the webpage.
Now, the topic of this review is not to talk about “Experiences,” but long story short, this specific tool is to customize the content of your website depending on the type of visitor: change text, swap CTAs, hide elements, change images.
For example, a UX designer would see different content than a Web Developer when looking at the same webpage.
It gives you an idea of where the web is going!
Possibility to use 2 products: “Pulse” for Social Proof tools and “Experiences” for customized messages based on user persona. Of course, if you have the budget to afford those two tools.
Features
- We are only listing the Social Proof pop-up features from “Pulse”:
- Hot Streaks (*the highest converting as per Proof)
- Live Visitor Count
- Recent Activity
- A/B testing
What we genuinely like about Proof is the simplicity of the onboarding.
The UI looks good (design of the pop-up notifications is also good looking), and UX is remarkably top-notch.
For example, when creating a campaign, you choose the pop-ups, where to show the pop-ups, what information to gather and hop, you are good to go.
Pros
- Proof lists the average increase you can expect from each tool (e.g., Hot Streak) on their website
- Dashboard’s color palette is stunningly beautiful
- Installation of the tracking pixel is fast, and you can start building a campaign within a few minutes
- UX: the creation of campaigns in 4 easy steps (Type, Capture, Targeting and Customize)
- Customization of timing, position, and display rules for each campaign is easy to operate
- The pop-ups’ design is beautiful
- Dashboard's sections are clearly identified and easy-to-navigate
- Plenty of integrations via Zapier and webhooks (as well as URL “contains” and “exact match”)
- Contact email of customer service is directly listed in the Footer (rare these days)
- Exceptional blog with compelling articles AND a video series show called “Scale of Die”!
- A/B testing feature for Social Proof is impressive as all marketers are looking to make decisions based on actual data.
Cons
- Entry-plans do not include all notification types
- Entry packages are on the pricey side
- Basic plan does not include Live Visitor Counts and Hot Streaks
Who should use
- Medium-sized companies and enterprise-level (especially in the case of Enterprise)
- Freelancers, entrepreneurs, and small business owners may want to consider other options unless they are on an exponential growth trajectory with a big stack of money.
Pricing
Definitively on the pricey side
Basic 29$ 1k unique visitors
Pro 79$ 10k
Business 129$ 50k
Premium 199$ 100k
Platinum 299$ 300k

3. FOMO
What it is
If there is one website design you will remember after reading this post, it is FOMO’s.
FOMO stands for “Fear Of Missing Out,” one of the most fundamental concepts of Social Proof.
FOMO almost gives the impression of being the “hipster of Social Proof” with the borderline weird (let’s say peculiar) website design (and the ads you will see when being retargeted.)
Nonetheless, it is a fantastic product, and the team behind it looks like amazing people.
FOMO lists New York, Ljubljana, Calgary, Austin, Charlottesville and Seoul on its site, proof that teams working remotely can achieve exceptional things.
FOMO says that 13,351 small and large companies alike use their tool to generate “meaningful” revenue. The emphasis is on the concept of “honest marketers” who genuinely want to connect with their audience and make a difference in the world.
“Honesty is the best marketing Fomo increases trust, credibility, and sales with live social proof.” source: fomo.com
One thing to note is that FOMO’s pricing is listed per impressions, as opposed to other software that records per unique visitors. On the website, there is an area where you can figure out the pricing per visitors.
I think it makes more sense to charge per impression!
I did a secret Excel sheet with the pricing of all Social Proof software and one of the cheapest per visitor was, you guessed it, FOMO.
The most exciting feature of FOMO is by far its usage of Machine Learning algorithms to ensure that you can make data-driven decisions. According to FOMO, “Machine Learning is applied to 6 billion rows of buying behaviors” and “[…] 10 billion data points every hour” to give you the optimal performance and optimization.
What FOMO says it can:
- Increase Initial delay CTR ↑ up to 96.7%
- Display in random order ITC ↑ up to 69.2%
- Increase Delay between CTR ↑ up to 113.1%
- Decrease Maximum per page ITC ↑ up to 182.8%
- Decrease Time ago threshold CTR ↑ up to 74.7%
Features
- Filters, fallbacks, automation
- customizable AF (messages details are fully customizable)
- templates rules, styling, theme builder, CSS customizer, page rules
- Geo-location with advanced IP techniques
- Track: impressions, clicks, engagements, conversions, conversion revenues (co)nect with Google Analytics or Scorecard
- Forms submission, customer behavior, roundups, broadcast (automation for Facebook)
- A/B testing
- FOMO gives you cards when you reach particular objectives
Pros
- Machine Learning to help you leverage the most performant settings
- Setup is fast and the first thing you do is play with the pop-up builder (first impression of the main feature of the product at the first step, smart, clever)
- ROI of FOMO automatically calculated in the dashboard
- Astonishing blog posts and Twitter content
- Email address and phone listed in the footer
- Plenty of integrations, even for eCommerce
- Open API (they also have an open-source design library)
- Localization in 26 languages
- Integrate with +89 apps
Cons
- No biggie: UX flow when checking if the FOMO tracking snippet is detected should be a bit improved
Who should use
- Hip marketers, anyone with a website or an eCommerce store
Pricing

4. Notifia
What it is
Notifia is a Saas company that develops a wide variety of widgets to help you before the user conversion, during the activation period and after the sale.
I love the slick design of the website, the onboarding, selection of the widgets, etc.
What makes Notifia unique is the number of widgets they have, the variety of widgets and their speed of delivery when it comes to launching new products. You have to see it to believe it.
Notifia says that it is trusted 13,815 companies on the planet.
“30+ Growth Widgets, for your Website. Marketing Tools, Plugins and Pop-ups to Convert, Engage and Retain Website Visitors.” source: notifia.io
Each category has a precise set of tools developed precisely to achieve the goal of the category type. For example, under “Retention” you would find tools that help you “reduce churn, get cancellation feedback, give offers to stop users’ motivation to cancel.”
Some of the widgets even include gamification, reviews collection, NPS scores, exit survey, upsells, content locks and many more.
So with Notifia, with ONE software, you can do pretty much everything in terms of opt-ins, information display, social proof, etc.
The design of their website is also pretty slick.
You have to see it to believe it.

5. Provely
What it is
Provely is a push notification software that can help you boost sales and conversions.
The website feels like it would be a good fit for users of Sales Funnels.
“Boost Conversions By Over 250% By Adding One Line of Code and Real-Time Social Proof To Any Site” source: provely.io
I was a little bit surprised to find out that Provely is quite popular; the Homepage feels like the typical “salesy” Sales Funnel webpage.
After digging a little bit more, it seems that the company behind Provely is indeed a Sales Funnel-type company that develops tons of different services for online sales. Don’t get me wrong; I love Sales Funnel.
I believe they have been around for a while.
One thing is sure: Provely are great at promotion!
It makes sense for a company like Provely to develop plenty of different tools to target specific needs in the marketing market. They answer the needs of different types of marketers and entrepreneurs, and that’s brilliant.

11. WPfomify
What it is
WPfomify is a Social Proof Softwares build with WordPress in mind.
WPfomify is an excellent tool, whether you are into eCommerce or not.
We have to say that the features are basic (and at least reasonably priced.)
“The #1 Social Proof Plugin for WordPress” source: wpfomify.com
WPfomify was developed by an agency who saw an opportunity in the market to not only develop a new tool but also to use their own tool! I love to hear stories like that, of people who are pro-active and develop solutions to solve their own itch.
You can “display conversion data WooCommerce, Easy Digital Downloads, GiveWP, CSV file or any kind of Form on your website.” source: wpfomify.com
What makes WPfomify stand out from competitors is its pricing strategy, which is not based on the number of visitors or impressions.

On top of that, JustUno Plus also offers campaign and development with its professional content creation team, as well as analysis and strategy consulting. Offering agency-based production services is almost unheard of in the Social Proof software environment, but eh, why not.

13. Poptin
What it is
Poptin is a tool built around 3 products: pop-ups, embedded forms, and email autoresponder. Poptin can be used by individuals, agencies as well as operators of eCommerce websites.
Straight off the bat, we need to say that Poptin does not have the same functions as other social proof software that use dynamic data to generate pop-ups (e.g., John Smith in California bought this pair of shoes 25min ago.)
The great thing about Poptin is that it provides 3 tools that cover the whole flow of the consumer: catch attention with the pop-ups, capture leads with forms, and engage via email with the autoresponder.
“Engage and Convert More Visitors Into | Create engaging popups and forms for your website in minutes.” poptin.com
Features

- Embedded forms for lead capture

- Very detailed targeting options (e.g., by country, date, time of the day, blacklist IP, etc.)
- Drag & Drop editor with pre-made templates (rare among Social Proof software)
- Ability to capture leads via embedded forms and engage them with automated emails (we call those “inline” as they are part of the content)
- Agency account for agencies that manage multiple accounts
- Pop-up gallery to get inspiration for the pop-ups
- Quick email signup
- Live support
- Free plan, no credit card required.
Cons
- Not really a con, just be wary that pop-ups are used to get subscribers and communicate static information (e.g., countdown,) not to display dynamic information taken from your database.
- Pricing includes a set number of autoresponders, an overly complicated approach.
Who should use
- Folks looking to collect information and display information that they wrote/edited themselves
- Agencies
Pricing
Pricing is a bit peculiar as it includes “autoresponders”
Free account is branded and does not include autoresponders
Free Free 1k visitors 1 domain unlimited poptins
Basic 19$ 10k visitors 1 domain 1k autoresponders
Pro 49$ 50k visitors 4 domain 1k autoresponders
Agency 99$ 150k visitors unlimited domains 15k autoresponders
