Which one is for you
Pick Elfsight if
- Fits if you're on Squarespace, Wix or Webflow and want widgets without code
- Works for a site that needs a popup plus a Google reviews feed or a chat button
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you want to A/B test popups or send leads to an email tool, as neither is on record
- Tight if you're on the free plan, which stops at 200 views a month with Elfsight branding
- Not for you if traffic spikes worry you, as a widget switches off for the month at its view limit
- Pricey if you want several widget types, as each app is its own subscription unless you buy the $15-a-month pack
- Watch out: every widget load counts as a view, so a site-wide popup on 20,000 visitors passes Pro's 50,000
Pick Flockler if
- Fits if you need social posts on screens, events and sites and can budget for it
- Works for teams that want unlimited page views and users
Look elsewhere if
- Pricey if you are small: $110 a month billed annually for Basic
- Not for you if you want a free plan, as there is only a 14-day trial
- Watch out: feeds are capped at 8, 15 and 30, and unlimited needs the custom Premium plan
- Watch out: submission forms are Pro and above, and the API is Premium and Agency
How we grade them
| 2.2GPAElfsightFair | 2.0GPAFlocklerFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CGraded on the popup app alone. Every widget load counts as a view, so a site-wide popup on a site with 20,000 visitors passes Pro's 50,000 views. Premium is $20 a month billed yearly ($24 monthly), a touch above the lowest-priced popup tools here. Other widgets cost extra. | DBasic is $110 a month billed annually ($129 monthly), against a category middle of $14.92 and a dearest tenth from $55. Pro is $325. |
| Free plan and trial | CFree forever, but just 1 widget and 200 views a month, with Elfsight branding, and the widget switches off for the month once it hits that. A popup on a site with real traffic is done on day one. | CA 14-day trial with no card, and no free plan. |
| Features | CSet beside its listed alternatives, which is fairer for a library of 90+ widgets: the popup handles sales, sign-ups, feedback and cart reminders on chosen pages, with time and action triggers. No A/B tests or email-tool links on record, so it's the basics. | CFeeds from 10+ platforms, moderation, automated alt text and a content API. The listing's gaps: feeds are capped at 8, 15 and 30, and API and submission forms sit on higher plans. |
| Ease of use | CNo rating on record. Each widget is set up from templates in a live editor and pasted in with a short code, and support will install it for you on paid plans. You're still building it, though. | CNo store rating on record. You connect sources and set up each feed. |
| Platforms and integrations | BWeb only, but widgets install on 100+ platforms, including Squarespace, Wix, Webflow, WordPress, Shopify and Framer, or any HTML site. No desktop or phone app, so B is the top. | BWeb, embeds, digital signage and events, with Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, X, YouTube, LinkedIn and Bluesky, and an API on Premium. |
| Best for | popups alongside reviews, feeds and chat | social walls for sites, screens and events |

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.
