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 Zotabox if
- Fits if you run a small store and want several small tools under one bill
- Works for a site that can live without email capture on the free plan
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you want email collection for free: it is premium only
- Skip it if you want branding gone, which needs a paid plan
- Watch out: plans cover 1 website and are priced by monthly visits, from 10,000 to 100,000
- Watch out: add-to-cart and upsell tools work only on Shopify, BigCommerce, Ecwid and Shopline
- Watch out: the info.zotabox.com page still shows placeholder footer details
How we grade them
| 2.8GPAGetsitecontrolGood | 2.2GPAZotaboxFair | |
|---|---|---|
| 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$8.39 a month on yearly billing for 10,000 visits, $11.99 monthly. That sits just outside the cheapest quarter of popup tools ($8.25), so it is ordinary for the category. |

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.
