Hustle is one of those rare plugins that just works.It does exactly what it promises, with a clean interface and very few bugs — which is not something you can say about many plugins out there.After testing dozens of alternatives, I can confidently say that Hustle stands out for its reliability and ease of use.Great job to the team behind it

I am somewhat flabbergasted with the straightforwardness of the plugin, after struggling for hours with Poptin, another pop-up plugin.If and when you’ve done WP editing, it’s easy to make your pop-up. It still is complex. I did not manage to get the color of the X right. But then you can just decide not to use it. Appearance, disappearance, it’s all very flexible.
