Cursor-trigger design seen as better than competitors' acceleration-based triggers
From 1 comment
Seriously, though, this looks a LOT better than the other services that provide this. They're often based on "acceleration" and direction of the cursor. So, I usually set them…

Idea is clever and could convert leads
From 2 comments
I get the idea and I think it's clever. It might even work to convert leads. But as a user, I find it rather intrusive. I've come by quite a few websites recently who fire this…
troels on HNI ran across this technique on a couple of sites last week when going for the back button (no idea if they were ExitIntent users). I thought it was a neat idea, and I stopped and…

Intrusive and annoying popups
From 3 comments
Maybe I'm not "most users", but that would immediately kill any interest I had in a site I was browsing. The way I view it is, my attention is something I bestow upon a website,…

Clone of Bounce Exchange and SumoMe with weak differentiation
From 3 comments
This seems similar to bounceexchange[0], and I think the idea is generally good. Try to grab people's attention at the last minute when they're already planning on leaving your…
gingerlime on HNYou're competing with SumoMe, which does essentially the same thing + is free (with one-off cash charges for upgrades/prettier templates, etc). What's the differentiation here?
Devolver on HNSo your differentiating factor is an UI feature that can be duplicated in a week?

Pricing seems expensive
From 2 comments

Triggers falsely on multi-display mouse movement to address bar

delecti on HNThanks a lot for your feedback. As of now it does trigger on moving your mouse towards to the address bar, we would fix this soon.

Demo and site navigation design is confusing
From 2 comments
Damn that was bad design. I clicked the massive green "Try it now" call to action, fully expecting that to be the demo. Since that comes before the tiny "See it in action" link,…
neil_s on HNOnce I click "Try It Out" I can't easily get back to the page I was on before -- both the logo and "home" link to a login page.
