ConvertForce vs Hustle
A Hustle alternative without the three-campaign cap.
Hustle limits its free version to three popups, and Hustle Pro only comes bundled with a WPMU DEV membership. ConvertForce is one plugin at one price, with unlimited campaigns from the start.
Why Switch
Six reasons to move off Hustle.
No three-campaign ceiling
Hustle’s free version allows three modules of each type. Hit the fourth popup and you need a paid membership. ConvertForce has no campaign limit on any plan, including free.
1000 sites for $49
WPMU DEV’s plans cover 1, 3, or 10 sites, with unlimited sites on its Premium tier. ConvertForce Pro covers every site you run for a single flat price.
Buy the plugin, not the suite
Hustle Pro cannot be purchased on its own. It arrives with a WPMU DEV membership covering eleven plugins, hosting tools, and site management. ConvertForce Pro is one plugin at one price.
Built in the block editor
Hustle builds campaigns through its own module wizard with separate content, design, and display screens. ConvertForce uses the same Gutenberg blocks you already use for posts and pages.
No subscription to a stack
If popups are the only thing you needed, a suite membership is a lot of software to carry. ConvertForce does three campaign types and stays out of the rest of your site.
Lightweight by design
ConvertForce adds about 11 KB to your frontend, verified by WP Hive’s independent testing, with no new database tables and no wp_options entries.

WPMU DEV plan prices verified against wpmudev.com/pricing in July 2026, using standard annual list prices. WPMU DEV runs frequent promotional discounts, so the price you see today may be lower. Hustle free version limits taken from WPMU DEV’s own documentation. ConvertForce performance values independently verified by WP Hive.
When Hustle is the better choice.
Hustle has the most generous free version in this category on triggers. Exit intent, scroll, time on page, and on click are all available at no cost, which is unusual and genuinely valuable. ConvertForce charges for exit intent, scroll depth, and inactivity, and does not offer an on-click trigger yet. If free exit intent is what you came for, Hustle has it and we do not.
Hustle also connects directly to Mailchimp, AWeber, HubSpot, Constant Contact, GetResponse, MailerLite, and others, includes social sharing modules and embedded forms, and adds WooCommerce visibility conditions on Pro. And because Hustle Pro comes with a WPMU DEV membership, you also get ten other plugins, backups, a CDN, and 24/7 support. If you want that stack, it is good value at $60 a year for one site.
Choose ConvertForce if you need more than three campaigns, run several sites, want campaigns built with blocks rather than in a module wizard, or simply want a popup plugin without subscribing to a whole platform. ConvertForce is the narrower product, and it is priced accordingly.
FAQ
Switching questions, answered honestly.
What are the limits of Hustle’s free version?
Hustle free allows three modules of each type, so three popups, three slide-ins, three social sharing bars, and three embeds. Exit intent and the other behavioural triggers are included at no cost. Going past three of anything requires Hustle Pro, which only comes with a WPMU DEV membership. ConvertForce places no limit on campaigns at any tier.
Can I buy Hustle Pro on its own?
No. Hustle Pro is only available with a WPMU DEV membership, which bundles eleven Pro plugins along with backups, a CDN, site management, and 24/7 support. Plans start at $60 a year for one site at standard pricing. ConvertForce Pro is sold as a single plugin at $49 a year for 10 sites.
Does ConvertForce have free exit intent like Hustle?
No, and this is where Hustle wins. Hustle includes exit intent in its free version, one of very few WordPress popup plugins that does. ConvertForce places Exit Intent, Scroll Depth, and User Inactivity in its Pro tier at $49 a year. If free exit intent is your deciding factor and three popups is enough, Hustle is the better fit.
Is ConvertForce cheaper than Hustle?
For popups alone, yes, and the gap widens with more sites. ConvertForce Pro is $79 a year for 1000 sites. WPMU DEV charges $60 a year for one site, $100 for three, $200 for ten, and $2,000 for unlimited at standard pricing. That said, WPMU DEV includes ten other plugins in the price, so it is not a like-for-like comparison if you want the wider suite.
Can I move my Hustle campaigns to ConvertForce?
There is no automatic importer, but rebuilding a campaign usually takes a few minutes because you design it directly with blocks. Export any collected submissions from Hustle first, recreate each campaign, set its display rules and trigger, publish, then deactivate Hustle. Running both plugins at once is not recommended.
Does ConvertForce connect to Mailchimp?
Not yet. Native email service integrations are planned for a future ConvertForce Pro release. Hustle covers this well today with direct connections to Mailchimp, AWeber, HubSpot, Constant Contact, GetResponse, and others. In the meantime you can embed any third-party form block inside a ConvertForce campaign.
