### "The original FOMO, still holding strong"

May 31, 2022

4.0

FOMO is one of the originals, and they do what they do very well. Their philosophy is a good one, in that they encourage you to use social proof in an honest way, and in a way that doesn't seem spammy. FOMO is fairly easy to use, especially for basic social proof, and with a little technical knowledge, you can do almost anything you want. I do wish their widget types were greater and there was easier integration with a few more tools.

Pros

FOMO doesn't overwhelm you with options. It is powerful, but doesn't throw everything in there. This might seem bad, but if you just need social proof popups and similar widgets, it does it, and it does it very well. I also love that it offers options for integrating with virtually any website or online system. And the onboarding is very slick.

Cons

Integrating FOMO can take a little more legwork. It can integrate with virtually any website, and bring in data from most places you would want, but it's not as easy as some other tools. You don't have to be a developer to integrate it, but you do need to dig into the code a little more. And many integrations require development knowledge through APIs. If you just need simple social proof, you don't need to dig into all that though.

### "Fomo is the one"

November 5, 2021

5.0

Excellent.

Pros

Well featured, cleanly designed and laid out, easy to use integrations.

Cons

Could do with more templates (and the ability to save adjusted templates somewhere).

Alternatives considered

[ProveSource](https://www.capterra.com/p/178762/ProveSource/)

Reason for choosing Fomo

1) Fomo's wonderful branding caught my eye 2) Their reasoning behind the product is hard to argue with, and they are open in their communication about competitors and even alternatives they recommend (see their blog) 3) Support is impeccable 4) Integrations work well 5) The backend is really well designed, and what customers see looks good and is quite customisable

### "Easy to use "

May 21, 2018

4.0

I don't think it increased sales, but it was a good feature to have, it just needed to be customized to be a little less spammy and it looked professional

Pros

Works exactly as described. Did have a good notification design and ease of use for the interface. It worked great and required zero technical skills

Cons

Wish there were more customization options for number of notifications/ for how long ago the customer pops up and in what order.

### "The best tool for social Proof notification and more "

November 3, 2021

5.0

Super happy. Works well, it's fast, totally customizable and the support is amazing, always prompt to help and resolve any issue. It's been great and i'm glad i decided to go with them.

Pros

Customization and ease of use. it's very complete and offers a lot more than the average tool. I like to be able to perfectly customize the notification and add custom data. To me it was very important to integrate with prestashop natively and FOMO was the right choice

Cons

Nothing. For what it does it's perfect, i will not choose another tool instead of them

### "It easy and has all the bells and whistles"

July 13, 2021

5.0

Pros

Integration was quick and loaded with options

Cons

They really did their homework. It was easy to use and they have many options available that i don't use but it's nice to know they're always providing options and staying ahead of the curve.

### "Social Proof is the Best Proof"

July 31, 2019

5.0

Pros

It does what it says it would do which is provide social proof to users that others are buying your product(s). This gives you instant credibility and trust because someone is likely to follow what other people do.

Cons

There isn't much to dislike about this product!

### "Easy to use and Amazing Customer Service"

October 11, 2017

5.0

Customer engagement and sales.

Pros

The team behind the software has been very good at working with me to explain how things work. One of the customer rep has been exceptional and patient walking me through set up and answering any questions that come up. The insights help me to fine tune the events. I highly recommend FOMO. This tool helps drive customers to explore deeper into the store further driving sales.

Cons

If I had to pick something I like least - and this is a hard one - I would say the interface of the dashboard feels clunky, but really that is minor.

### "Has helped us improve conversion rate + app has unmatched customer service"

September 6, 2018

5.0

Pros

I like how easy it was to integrate with shopify. Had it setup within minutes. Customer support is next level. Prior to using shopify, we used FOMO with a different shopping cart that didn't have an easy integration. FOMO support helped us get a custom integration setup so it would work with that cart.

Cons

Can't think of any negative aspects of the FOMO app at this point.

### "Fomo is incredibly easy to set up and works on autopilot to increase our website conversions."

October 11, 2017

5.0

Increased product visibility and conversions.

Pros

Fomo is incredibly easy to set up and works on autopilot to increase our website conversions. I love how it seamlessly integrates with Drip and WooCommerce and is nowhere near to slowing down in the social proof space.

### "Great piece of software to help boost ecommerce sales!"

July 10, 2020

5.0

Overall, happy with the service. My site is getting too much traffic for the basic plan and I'm not making too much sales from the tool but it is paying for itself so going to keep it running as I think it's a great visual tool to get people's attention on my website.

Pros

\-Visually appealing -Easy to customize -Love that you can measure performance/see conversions tied to click-thru from Fomo

Cons

The Squarespace integration wasn't as easy as I thought it was going to be and had to spend sometime with support troubleshooting. I'm guessing its more Squarespace's fault than Fomo's because support was pretty quick to assist.

We are using Fomo for our online retailer over a year. Very happy. The backend is flawless, delivers what is promised and goes a mile beyond. Support helped me optimize my results.

Pros

Definately boosts the sales. We have been using Fomo for a year. Support is very good , understanding and helpful. Premium service. Highly Recommended.

Cons

Flexible payment per view will be good. Also, unqiue visitors instead of notifications can be a good option.

### "Fomo social proof increasing impact for a non-profit "

January 21, 2022

5.0

We are able to easily provide social proof of others taking action for our cause, thereby encouraging more action. I have tried other similar tools and Fomo was by far the most flexible and easy to set up. It has only been a few months now and we look forward to the months ahead as we push their capabilities more.

Pros

The three things I like most about Fomo are: 1. It has the flexibility to do what we need for each of our websites and enough options to even keep our designer happy, which is no small feat with anything out of the box. 2. Easy implementation, even for an non-tech person. I was worried about being able to do it myself, but the dashboard is well laid out, the instructions were easy to understand and the structure in mercifully logical. 3. Great support, always prompt and helpful.

Cons

As we look at rolling out some global campaigns I was very concerned about being able to support a per transaction pricing model, however, they showed me how I can mitigate that and still have effective social proof, and Fomo offers generous support for non-profits. So far I don't have any other cons to report.

Reason for choosing Fomo

It was able to handle our multi-website complexity elegantly and has implementation flexibility to ensure we get what we need without spending money we don't have

### "Simply love it"

November 7, 2021

5.0

I used fomo for the first time and I am really excited how easy and reliable it all worked. Have no numbers on the impact to sales I achieved at my launch, but I can truly recommend fomo and will also use it for further product launches and freebies.

Pros

Fomo is really easy to set up even if your are no technical savyy person. I do love the variety of saisonal layouts of the notifications and I could adapt everything very easy to my needs. Support is fast and very helpful when needed.

Cons

For the integration in my website I needed the help of my web admin. A Wordpress Plugin Solution would be preferred.

Reason for choosing Fomo

I did not know alternatives. I saw it at some website, liked it a lot and when I asked what tool it was, they told me and recommended fomo.

### "Dont miss out on Fear of Missing Out!"

October 3, 2020

5.0

Great experience - well worth the small cost

Pros

Easy and simple to turn off and on when required. During the first weeks of Covid it was important to show other customers that people were buying of us by way of FOMO pop ups

Cons

Occasionally customers complain about it annoying them with too many pop ups

August 27, 2017

5.0

More online conversions.

Pros

When people go on a website, they need to see there's live action going through the site, hence FOMO. it's like going to a restaurant, people will be attracted to the restaurant that looks busy and have the longest line. Everything about this software is great. The support team is amazing also, willing to respond within hours to any question I have.

January 16, 2018

5.0

Great customer interaction and helps ensure the customers that they are purchasing from an establish brand.

Pros

Easy install. The ability to customize the aspects that we want but not so many options that it becomes unusable.

Cons

I really can't think of much that I don't like. Possibly a little easier ability to brand and customize that aspect of the popup.

January 9, 2018

5.0

Pros

The built-in design options are solid, relatively easy set-up, easy to customize as well. Particularly easy when working with a shopify store

Cons

I've frankly had some struggles working with fomo when dealing with non-shopify sites (just plain-old html sites) - their form input automation tool worked pretty well, but we had a lot of issues with users seeing FOMO notifications that they weren't supposed to (Even when we "shut off" fomo, users still got notifications days after)

### "Believe the hype - This is the best website app EVER!"

January 9, 2017

5.0

Yes fomo is easy to use, it's great value for money and has tons of integrations. But the real reason why it's it's the best app that I've EVER used because it makes me money. Results are more or less instant and pays for itself a thousand times over. I'm now running fomo on all three of my e-commerce websites and you should too!

Pros

It far exceeded my expectations and instantly boosted my conversion rates.

Cons

None. I just wish they had more apps for me to use on my websites.

### "Great App"

July 16, 2020

5.0

Pros

Fomo helped us increase our conversion by a substantial amount. Also, the integration was really easy, we fixed it in a couple of minutes. Also, when we noticed a tiny error in one of the translations we contacted Fomo and they fixed it within an hour. That's the kind of support we really like!

Cons

We haven't really seen any major cons so far. Only thing I can think of is that the price of the Advanced pack is a bit on the steep side, but then again you get a lot of extras for it.

August 27, 2018

5.0

Pros

Fomo has a super powerful feature set yet it's fairly easy to use. We liked the fact that we were able to customize it further with their API and that we got such great support during that process. We've had great results; the conversion rates on our site have definitely increased as a result of showing social proof.

Cons

Some features (like Insights) are not super intuitive and take a bit of time to get used to. But that's certainly not a deal breaker. 99% of the app is easy to use.

If your card is securely locked to avoid fraud and they attempt to charge and fail the service is immediately switched off. A day or 2 would be great to fix it.
