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 Qualaroo if
- Fits if you want to ask visitors a question and read the answers
- Makes sense if you track NPS or CSAT on a site or in an app
Look elsewhere if
- Not for you if you want an email-capture or discount popup tool
- Tight if you collect more than 50 responses, which is the whole free plan
- Watch out: higher plans are tied to email sends and pageviews, so busy sites need Business at $49.99
- Watch out: prices shown are annual rates, and the monthly figure was not confirmed
How we grade them
| 2.0GPAConvertBoxFair | 2.0GPAQualarooFair | |
|---|---|---|
| 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. | C$19.99 a month on yearly billing, $49.99 for Business. That is ordinary for the category, though it is a survey tool so the comparison is loose. The page shows higher crossed-out prices, and the monthly price was not confirmed. |
| 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. | CA forever-free plan, but it stops at 50 responses, which a busy page will hit quickly. |
| 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. | CIt does its one job: targeted survey nudges with NPS, CSAT and CES, AI analysis of answers and email surveys. That is a smaller job than the popup category, and it is not built for capturing emails or discounts. |
| 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 write questions, pick who sees them and wire it into the site. |
| 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. | CWeb only on this listing, with only Mailchimp and Vertical Response named as integrations. |
| Best for | paying once for targeted popups and quizzes | short feedback surveys shown as popups |

Worth knowing

- The plan stops at 250,000 views a month on 10 websites; more needs the PRO upgrade, whose price is shown only at checkout.

Qualaroo

More comparisons
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.
