Which one is for you
Pick Claspo if
- Fits if your site has under 3,000 pageviews a month and you can live with a badge
- Works for people who want every feature on every plan and pay by traffic
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if your traffic grows, as the free plan stops at 3,000 pageviews and 1 site
- Watch out: the Powered by Claspo badge stays on the free plan
- Pricey if you want a monthly plan, at $39 against $29 billed annually
- Watch out: the three cheapest paid plans cap sites at 1, 3 or 5
- Skip it if you pass 2,000,000 pageviews, as that plan is sold through sales
Pick OptinMonster if
- Fits if you run a blog or shop and want more email sign-ups from it
- Works for agencies running sign-up campaigns across client sites, with sub-accounts from Pro
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you want exit intent on a budget, as it starts on Pro at $870 a year
- Not for you if you want to try it first, as there's no free plan or trial, only a 14-day refund
- Pricey if you budgeted on the first year, as Basic goes from $108 to $210 at renewal
- Watch out: going over the impression limit moves the account up to the next plan automatically
- Tight if you want geolocation, retargeting or store integrations, as all need Growth at $1,470 a year
How we grade them
| 2.4GPAClaspoFair | 1.8GPAOptinMonsterWeak | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C$29 a month for 50,000 pageviews, billed annually, is at the dearer edge of the $9 to $29 range that pop-up tools start at. | DGraded on a site with 20,000 visitors, more than Plus's 10,000 impressions a month, so it's Pro: $870 a year at renewal, $72.50 a month, after a $444 first year. That's dearer than most popup tools here. Pro does bring exit intent, which the cheaper plans lack. |
| Free plan and trial | CFree plan with all features, but only 1 site and 3,000 pageviews a month, and the Claspo badge stays on. | FNothing free and no trial. There's a 14-day refund, but a money-back promise isn't a trial: you pay before you see it on your site. |
| Features | BSix display formats, gamified widgets, A/B testing, targeting, triggers and AI translation; the listing shows no gap in the core work. | BLightboxes, floating bars, slide-ins, full-screen overlays and coupon wheels, 700+ templates, targeting by page, time, scroll and device, A/B tests and revenue tracking. Exit intent and geolocation sit on the dearer plans. |
| Ease of use | CNo rating on record; you build widgets from templates and connect your tools. | CNo rating on record. Templates and a drag-and-drop builder help, but you have to add its code to your site, or use the WordPress or Shopify route, and set up targeting rules before anything shows. |
| Platforms and integrations | BWeb only, with eight integrations listed. | BWorks on any site you can add JavaScript to, with plugins and guides for WordPress and Shopify, and sends sign-ups to Mailchimp, Constant Contact, ActiveCampaign and ConvertKit. Zapier needs Pro. No desktop or phone app. |

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
