Convertful vs Hello Bar (2026): which should you pick?

Pick Convertful if

• Fits if you run one small site and want a low monthly price
• Works for people who want game-style offers and floating bars

Look elsewhere if

• Tight if you want A/B tests or AI drafts, because they need Starter at $17 or above
• Skip it if you want no branding on Solo, as Convertful branding stays
• Watch out: prices shown are yearly-billed; monthly prices are not on the page
• Pricey if traffic grows, since cost steps up with pageviews, with the top plan at 500,000
• Not for you if you want a free plan, as there is none

Pick Hello Bar if

• Fits if you want a sign-up bar along the top of every page of your blog
• Works for A/B testing popups on Growth, at $29 a month billed yearly

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you run a shop and want spin-to-win wheels, coupons or offers based on the cart
• Tight if you hope to stay free, as Starter's 5,000 views don't reset each month and it has no A/B tests
• Not for you if you need webhooks, CRM sync or more than 3 seats for less than $49 a month
• Watch out: when a site hits its monthly view limit, its campaigns pause until the next billing cycle
• Pricey if you pay monthly, at $39 for Growth against $29 billed yearly

Convertful

• The Solo plan covers one site and keeps Convertful branding on widgets.
• A/B testing, AI text and images, multi-step widgets and two-way CRM sync all need Starter or above.
• Prices shown are the yearly-billed rate; the monthly-billed prices are not stated on the page we read.
• Cost rises with pageviews where a widget shows; the top plan steps up from 500,000 pageviews.

Hello Bar

• The free Starter plan stops after 5,000 views in total, not per month, and has no A/B testing.
• View limits apply to each website; when a site reaches its monthly limit, its campaigns pause until the next billing cycle.
• Growth allows 3 seats; unlimited seats, priority support, webhooks and CRM sync need Premium or Elite.
• First-time customers get a 30-day money-back guarantee, and a cancelled account drops to the free Starter plan.
