Which one is for you

Pick ConvertBox if

  • Fits if you'd rather pay once than keep a monthly bill going
  • Works for showing different offers to people already on your email list

Look elsewhere if

  • Skip it if you want to try before you pay, as the 14 days risk-free is a refund promise, not a trial
  • Not for you if a lifetime deal that may close or rise without notice makes you nervous
  • Tight if you outgrow 250,000 views or 10 sites, as the PRO upgrade's price shows only at checkout
  • Watch out: its terms let it close any account, for any reason, with 30 days' notice
  • Too light for working from a phone or desktop app, as there's none, and mobile popups need their own design

Pick Personizely if

  • Fits if you run a Shopify store and want to test prices and pages, not only collect emails
  • Makes sense if your traffic is under about 50,000 visitors a month

Look elsewhere if

  • Pricey if you need the real tests: they start on Premium at $59 a month
  • Tight if your traffic grows, because the bill is by visitors and goes from $39 to $99 to $139
  • Skip it if you only want popups, which cheaper tools do without the testing
  • Not for you if you want a free plan: it is a 14-day trial, then paid
  • Watch out: the site is written for Shopify even though other platforms are listed

How we grade them

2.0GPAConvertBoxFair2.2GPAPersonizelyFair
Value for money
C$495 once for 250,000 views a month on 10 sites, far more than a 20,000-visitor site needs. Spread over two years that's about $20.63 a month, just above the cheapest quarter here, with nothing more to pay after. But the deal may close or rise without notice.
D$39 a month at 10,000 visitors, $99 at 50,000. The price, shipping and content tests that give it a reason to exist need Premium at $59 and up, well above the $14.92 middle for popup tools.
Free plan and trial
FNo free plan and no free trial. The page offers 14 days risk-free, but that's a refund promise, not a trial: you pay the $495 before you see it on your site.
CNo free plan. There is a 14-day trial with every feature and no card needed, which is the card-free kind.
Features
BSlide-ins, modals, sticky bars, takeovers and embedded boxes, targeted on your email tool's lists and tags as well as pages, scroll and exit intent. Multi-step quizzes, countdowns, personal text and A/B tests too. It covers the whole job.
BTesting, personalization, popups and product recommendations in one tool, and nothing in the listing shows a gap in the core work. It also does price and shipping tests, which most popup tools skip.
Ease of use
CNo rating on record. Templates and a drag-and-drop editor help, but the main feature, targeting by your email tool's tags, means connecting that tool and building rules, and mobile gets its own design.
CNo store rating on record. You connect your store, build widgets and set up tests before it earns anything.
Platforms and integrations
BWorks on any site, with direct links to ActiveCampaign, ConvertKit, Drip, HubSpot, Keap, Klaviyo and Mailchimp, a WordPress route and webhooks for Zapier. No desktop or phone app.
BWeb app with Shopify, WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, Magento, BigCommerce and Klaviyo on its list. 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.
