Brave Conversion Engine (PRO)

If your site already has traffic and five plugins fight over the screen

Whoever builds conversion piece by piece usually ends up with one popup plugin, another for cookies, another for social sharing, another for surveys and another for chat. Each one loads its own scripts and none knows what the others are doing: the visitor arrives and gets a cookie banner, a signup window and a chat bubble all at once. Brave Conversion Engine tries to solve this from a single panel, with 20 tools and more than 200 widgets.

It suits you if you run a blog, a WooCommerce store, a membership site or client websites and want control over what is shown and when. It does not suit you if you want an email marketing platform: Brave captures data and sends it to services such as Mailchimp, ActiveCampaign or MailerLite, but the lists and email campaigns live there. Nor is it a page builder, and it does not replace your store's checkout. And if your traffic is low, more popups will not fix an offer that does not convince.

Brave Conversion Engine decides to whom, when and how many times

What sets it apart from a standalone popup is the rules, which combine into three questions:

• To whom: page visited, referring domain, country or city, registered user, administrators only, mobile or desktop, pages viewed before, product purchased or in the cart, campaign completed.
• When: on page load, when trying to exit, after a scroll percentage, on clicking an element, on submitting a form or after X seconds.
• How often: only X times, do not show again after submitting a form, after X days, when a timer ends or after it is closed.

This lets you chain campaigns: someone who already subscribed stops seeing the form and moves on to something else. You design that order; if you launch everything with the same rule, you will have the same chaos under another name.

From the captured email to the coupon before they leave

For capturing, there are opt-ins with social signup, content locking, advanced email validation, field mapping and welcome emails. There are also quizzes that score the lead and redirect them to the right page or recommend products based on their result, plus user signup with social accounts.

For selling, it includes popups and sticky bars, and an evergreen timer that starts the countdown for each visitor as soon as they arrive. In WooCommerce it adds upsell, cross-sell and product promotion based on what is in the cart. The cart abandonment popup offers a time-limited coupon when someone adds products and tries to leave: it works on screen, while the visitor is still on your site, and makes more sense if you allow purchases without registration.

Blog, support and cookies: the widgets you don't expect in a popup plugin

There are widgets for related and latest posts (combinable with exit intent), animated banners with daily click counts, welcome widgets, social follow and share, FAQs, mini documentation, video popups, multi-step surveys, contact widgets with an autoresponder, social chat initiators and testimonials or reviews.

You can also publish terms and policy notices and a cookie consent notice. Note: the widget existing does not guarantee regulatory compliance; that depends on how you configure it and on what your other plugins load.

Test, schedule and measure each campaign

The drag and drop visual editor lets you create any popup or notification, and also your own widgets if the tool you need is missing. It includes A/B testing, campaign scheduling, an animation builder, an asset library and dynamic text. Tracking shows views, conversions and conversion rate for each campaign in real time, so you know which performs best and which worst before changing anything.
