Quality over volume
A bloated list costs you twice — your ESP charges per subscriber, and your open rates tank with every disengaged address. Sottly takes a different approach. Your popup only appears after someone has genuinely engaged with your content, so the subscribers you get are the ones who actually read.
Private by default
Subscriber emails go straight to your email platform and are immediately discarded. No cookies, no tracking pixels, no data lingering on our servers. Your readers stay yours — and you'll never need a consent banner for Sottly.
One tool, done properly
Sottly does popups. That's it. No automation builders, no exit-intent traps, no bloated feature menus. Just a focused editor, engagement-based triggers, and a clean dashboard that shows you the metric that actually matters — how many subscribers came from engaged readers.
There's a better way
to ask
The popup industry got comfortable with aggressive. We didn't.
The Sottly Way
- Your popup waits until someone is actually reading
- A clean popup, a clear ask, and a "no thanks" that's just no thanks
- Your readers' devices stay clean. Their data stays theirs.
Three steps to
better subscribers
Set up in minutes. See results in days.
Add one line of code
Paste a script tag into your site header. No plugins, no setup wizard, no configuration. It works the moment you add it.
Build something worth showing
Templates to start, a block editor to make it yours. Style it to match your site, write copy in your own voice, then A/B test to see what resonates.
Track the metric that matters
Most tools count form fills. Sottly shows you which subscribers came from engaged readers — the number that actually predicts whether they'll open your emails.
Trusted by those who
value depth.
