79 Quality Score
Active Installs
20/30

67/30 reflects moderate traction with 30,000 active installs, which is healthy for a single-purpose popup plugin but well below the top tier of lead-gen tools.

Update Freshness
23/25

100/25 is the highest possible score, driven by a recent update on 2026-02-20 that keeps pace with WordPress 6.9.4.

User Rating
13/15

88/15 from 84 reviews is a strong approval rating, though the small sample size means a handful of unhappy users could shift it noticeably.

Support Health
8/15

50/15 is a real concern: there are 0 support threads and 0 resolved, so there is no track record of help when something breaks.

WP Compatibility
15/15

100/15 reflects a low minimum WordPress version of 5.2 and confirmed testing on 6.9.4, which covers the vast majority of installs today.

What It Does

Popup Maker and Popup Anything lets you trigger modal popups on page load or on click of links, images, and buttons, and it also supports exit-intent popups and floating bars. It bundles popup types aimed at opt-in capture and lead generation rather than purely visual overlays. Practically, you install it, pick a popup type, attach it to a trigger, and aim it at your email list or conversion goal.

Who It's For

This plugin fits marketers, small business owners, and solo creators who want a low-friction way to add opt-in forms, exit popups, and click-triggered modals without paying for a premium tool. Sites running list-building, course launches, affiliate promos, and event registration will find the use-case tags match their needs. It works best for people who are comfortable using shortcodes or the WordPress editor and do not need deep CRM or A/B testing integrations.

Who Should Skip It

If you already use a dedicated conversion tool like OptinMonster, Sumo, or a built-in form plugin with popup features, this adds overlap without much extra value. Developers and agencies who need conditional display logic, advanced targeting, or reliable commercial support should also skip it, because support threads are essentially absent and there is no public PHP version requirement.

The Bottom Line

Popup Maker and Popup Anything earns an 80.75/100 with strong maintenance and ratings, but the complete absence of public support threads is a real risk for anyone running revenue through their popups. It is a sensible free option for low-stakes sites that can troubleshoot on their own, not a replacement for a supported commercial popup suite. Treat it as a starting point you may outgrow.
