How we grade them
| 2.2GPAElfsightFair | 2.4GPAPOWRFair | |
|---|---|---|
| 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 cheapest popup tools here. Other widgets cost extra. | BGraded on the popup app alone. A site with 20,000 visitors needs Pro for exit intent and 1,000 sign-ups a month: $11.87 billed yearly ($15.84 monthly), in the cheapest quarter here. But each app is priced on its own, and all of them means Business at $79.19. |
| 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. | CEvery app has a free version, but the free popup stops at 25 sign-ups a month, shows POWR branding and has no exit intent. Starter at $4.83 drops the branding but keeps the 25 cap. Fine for a look, not for a real site. |
| 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. | CSet beside its listed alternatives, which is fairer for a library of 60+ apps: the popup has 250+ templates, coupon, survey and age-check types, and exit-intent, delay and click triggers on Pro. There's no A/B testing on record, though, and the other apps are a different job. |
| 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. Easy, but you're still building it. | CNo rating on record. It installs as an app on Shopify, Wix and Squarespace or with embed code, and the editor needs no code, but you still build each popup and set its triggers. |
| 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 only, but its apps install on more than 70 platforms, including Shopify, Wix, BigCommerce, Squarespace and Joomla, and Pro syncs to Mailchimp, Google Sheets and Zapier. No desktop or phone app. |
| Best for | popups alongside reviews, feeds and chat | a cheap popup plus a few other widgets |
