Which one is for you
Pick Getsitecontrol if
- Fits if you want popups, surveys and a mailing list in one account for $19 a site
- Works for Shopify stores that want offers based on what's in the cart
Look elsewhere if
- Pricey if you run lots of sites, as every site is billed on its own and all sit on the same plan
- Not for you if you want emails included in the price, as each 1,000 sent costs $1.40 to $2.00
- Tight if your traffic spikes, as widgets stop showing once a site hits its monthly view limit
- Watch out: the free plan keeps Getsitecontrol branding on every widget
- Watch out: unlimited views need Pro Max at $29 a site a month; Pro stops at 100,000
Pick Qualaroo if

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

How we grade them
| 2.8GPAGetsitecontrolGood | 2.0GPAQualarooFair | |
|---|---|---|
| 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 lowest-priced quarter here. Emails are extra, at $1.60 per 1,000 sent on Pro. | 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 | 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. | CA forever-free plan, but it stops at 50 responses, which a busy page will hit quickly. |
| 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. | 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 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 store rating on record. You write questions, pick who sees them and wire it into the site. |
| 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. | CWeb only on this listing, with only Mailchimp and Vertical Response named as integrations. |
| Best for | popups, surveys and emails in one account | short feedback surveys shown as popups |

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.
