Best for social proof notifications for a small website
ProveSource shows social proof notifications on websites and stores, free for 1,000 monthly visitors and from $24 a month for 20,000. Free notifications carry ProveSource branding, and the popup widgets are a separate paid product.
Who ProveSource is for
- Fits if you want sales notifications on a site under 1,000 monthly visitors
- Works for stores that want recent-purchase pop-ups and live counters
Who ProveSource is not for
- Tight if your traffic is over 1,000 visitors a month on Free
- Watch out: notifications carry ProveSource branding until you pay
- Watch out: at the visitor limit, notifications stop for new visitors until the period resets
- Not for you if you want popups or spin to win, as the Boost set is a separate product at $24 a month
- Skip it if you pass 500,000 visitors, as the page lists nothing above Gorilla at $183

Keep ProveSource, or make your own?
Your call
You could make the core of ProveSource for yourself: popups and reports.
What you would give up is listed below. Whether that is worth the price is your call. It costs $288 a year.
What you could make
- Popups and reports: an app builder makes these well.
- It runs in a browser, which is where something home-made would run too.
What you could not
- It plugs into other products, Shopify, WooCommerce and BigCommerce among them.
What this rests on. ProveSource’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
What is ProveSource?
ProveSource shows small on-site notifications built from real visitor activity: recent sales and signups, live visitor counts, review snippets and informational messages. A script goes on the site, and the vendor lists more than a hundred platforms and tools that connect to it. Plans are set by monthly unique visitors, and a free plan covers sites with up to 1,000.
Worth knowing
- Free-plan notifications carry ProveSource branding; custom branding needs a paid plan.
- At the visitor limit the vendor stops showing notifications to new visitors until the period resets or you upgrade.
- The Boost widget set (popups, spin to win, bars, timers) is a separate product with its own plans: Free for 3 widgets, Pro at $24 per month.
- The largest plan listed is Gorilla at 500K monthly visitors; the pricing page shows nothing above it.
Key features
- Recent activity streams
- A stream notification shows individual actions such as signups or purchases, and a combo notification shows how many people acted over the last 24 hours, 7 days or 30 days.
- Live visitors and counters
- Show a real-time visitor count on the site, or a counter of followers, subscribers and likes across social profiles.
- Review notifications
- Pull in reviews from sources such as Google, Facebook, Trustpilot, Yotpo and Capterra and display them as notifications.
- Display and timing rules
- Set position, delay between notifications, pages shown, hide on mobile, show only conversions from the visitor's country, and hide anonymous or product details.
- Webhooks and auto tracking
- Post conversions from your own server through webhooks, or capture submissions from a custom web form automatically.
- Analytics and goals
- The dashboard reports visitors, impressions, hovers and clicks against the prior period, broken down by page, notification, device and country, with goal and revenue tracking.
