VERDICT

Should I use WiserNotify?

WiserNotify is a top social proof and FOMO tool with built-in A/B testing, great support, and 50+ notification templates. - wisernotify.com

Depends. Buy if you run a small e-commerce or SaaS site and want cheap, easy FOMO notifications with a free plan. Skip it if you're on WordPress until the plugin's critical authorization flaw is patched, or if your security team reviews embedded third-party scripts.

Confidence

Medium. Based on 14 public sources including G2, Capterra, Trustpilot, AppSumo, Shopify, NVD, and Wordfence.
