Are web push notifications really free?

Yes, they are free until you reach a certain subscriber count. Until you reach that subscriber count you can send as many notifications as you want!

We’re confident that once you start paying for an account, that means your traffic is getting bigger and your ROI on Subscribers should easily cover the monthly fees.

Do I need an Apple or Google Developer account to sign up?

Nope, we take care of all of that.

Will it work on HTTP and HTTPS sites?

Yes, it works on both and we will be adding in additional functionality to continue to give users of both types of sites the best experience possible.

Do my subscribers have to create an account with me or with Subscribers to get the push notifications?

No they don’t have to do either. It’s a simple one-click subscription service for them and they’re done. They can also unsubscribe any time they want through their browser.

I am unable to locate my Site ID on Subscribers.com, what should I do?

Your Site ID is displayed on the Install Code page. In the top menu of your dashboard look for the small icon next to the Send Notification button. This will take you to the Install Code page. From there, look for the WordPress option and click on it. You’ll then see your Site ID under this page and you can copy it straight from here.

Do I need to install it for all my websites separately?

Yes, the plugin needs to be installed separately on each of your websites. If you have more than one website you manage, you will want to Add a Site on your Subscribers account or sign up for a new account with a different username

Reviews

Poor plugin

blogfactory24 October 14, 2020

I have installed and configured this plugin but… 1. The detection test failed when the manual test was good (source code check) 2. The subscription pop-up never showed on my website 3. The is no help from support Avoid this tool and go to webpushr instead !

never add your credit card in this site

fcgundogan October 14, 2019

I have used Subscribers for 3-4 months. They answered my questions in the beginning. After 3 months I wanted to cancel my paid subscription. I sent them cancellation messages 20-30 times. They even did not answer me. In addition, you cannot cancel your subscription unless you enter a valid credit card number. I had to cancel my credit card in order to cancel the paid subscription. For this reason, I think that subscribers is not a credible and safe plugin. I wanted to give no star however I have to give them at least one-star. I am sorry for that.

Very Buggy on phones

expatman22 August 18, 2019

This does NOT work well with any phone screen, it freezes 9 times out of 10, and also a misleading ad as totally FREE, it is NOT totally free! Uninstalled..

Doesn’t work at all

Devin June 8, 2019

This plugin won’t get my subscribers account verified as it supposed to be

Not supported (now free tier and premium)

marcofama December 8, 2018

I’m truly sorry to say this, but as I love Neil Patel and always follow his advices I thought this would be a game changer Thing is: I never received any support feedback/help on my basic issues wrote them twice via email, posted publicly on Neil’s blog… sad to say, it didn’t get further than that. had to remove it now that they ask me to even pay :/ never sent 1 single notification, and that’s a shame as the GUI is amazing.

Great tool that increases traffic

devgapper October 16, 2018

I was able to drive more eyeballs back to my website with Subscribers. Secondly, I noticed that my blog post traffic increased also severely when I pushed them with a push notification. For me, it’s a great new way to engage web users!
