How we grade them
| 2.8GPAGetsitecontrolGood | 2.4GPAPopupsmartFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | BA site with 20,000 visitors will pass the free 10,000 widget views, so it's Pro: $19 a month per site for up to 100,000 views, with branding off. That's in the cheapest quarter here. Emails are extra, at $1.60 per 1,000 sent on Pro. | CEvery page load counts, so a site with 20,000 visitors viewing a few pages each passes Basic's 50,000 pageviews. Advanced is $57.50 a month billed yearly ($690), or $69 monthly, and adds A/B testing. That's toward the dear end of popup tools here. |
| Free plan and trial | BFree forever with unlimited widgets and contacts and 10,000 widget views a month per site. Branding stays on and emails cost $2.00 per 1,000, but a small site could really live on it. | CFree forever, but 1 live popup at a time, on 1 website, for 5,000 pageviews a month, with Popupsmart branding. Enough to try it, not to run a busy site. |
| Features | BPopups, promo bars, forms and multi-page surveys with skip logic, targeting by page, segment and schedule, cart rules on Shopify and A/B tests, plus email broadcasts and flows like abandoned checkout. It covers the whole job. | BAn AI builder that drafts campaigns, 500+ templates, gamified, coupon, cookie and call popups, targeting by exit intent, scroll, source, language and location, plus cart rules and revenue tracking on Shopify. The whole job, though A/B tests start at Advanced. |
| Ease of use | CNo rating on record. Templates and an AI text helper speed things up, but there's a widget editor, targeting, contacts and email flows to set up before it pays off. | CNo rating on record. One snippet installs it and the AI builder drafts a campaign from a sentence, but you still choose targeting rules, or trust Smart Mode, and tidy up the design. |
| Platforms and integrations | BWeb, with Shopify, Klaviyo, Mailchimp, Constant Contact, HubSpot, Keap, Google Sheets and Zapier. No desktop or phone app, so B is as high as it goes. | BWeb, installed with one snippet on Shopify, WordPress, Webflow, Wix or any site, with leads sent to Klaviyo, Mailchimp, Zapier or a webhook. No desktop or phone app. |
