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 Wheel of Popups if
- Fits if you want a wheel-of-prizes popup and can set the rewards yourself
- Makes sense if you want to try it for 10 days without a card
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you want several promotions at once: Basic runs 1, Startup 5, Business 20
- Skip it if you want a free plan, since after 10 days or 5,000 pageviews a paid plan is needed
- Pricey if you grow past 5,000 pageviews, with $49 a month at 30,000 and $149 at 100,000
- Watch out: the refund policy reads 'get in touch with us' with no window stated
How we grade them
| 2.8GPAGetsitecontrolGood | 2.2GPAWheel of PopupsFair | |
|---|---|---|
| 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 a month for 5,000 pageviews is between the middle ($14.92) and the dearer quarter ($24) for popup tools. The page shows crossed-out higher prices and says yearly saves about 20% without listing yearly prices. |
| 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 10-day trial with no card, up to 5,000 pageviews, then a paid plan. No free plan. |
| 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. | CSpin-to-win wheel, exit intent, design tools, segments and analytics, and templates for use cases. It is a narrower job than a full popup tool, and Basic runs 1 promotion at a time. |
| 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 design a promotion, set rewards and add the script. |
| 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 app that connects with WordPress, Shopify, Wix, Squarespace, WooCommerce, Webflow, HubSpot and Mailchimp. No phone or desktop app. |

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.
