Which one is for you
Pick OptiMonk if
- Fits if you'd rather describe a popup than design one yourself
- Works for small stores that stay under 10,000 pageviews on the free plan
Look elsewhere if
- Pricey if your visitors click through lots of pages, as every page load counts, popup or not
- Tight if you use subdomains, as each one counts as a domain and Essential allows 2
- Pricey if you're in the EU without a VAT number, as 27% Hungarian VAT goes on top
- Watch out: at the pageview limit, campaigns pause until you upgrade or the month resets
- Tight if you lean on the AI agent, as credits are monthly and more means moving up a plan
Pick Pop Convert if
- Fits if you sell on a store platform and want spin-style popups with coupon limits
- Works for a Portuguese-speaking team, since the site and support are in Portuguese
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you want a free plan or a trial: neither is listed
- Not for you if you need English pages and support
- Watch out: billing is by pageviews counted on pages that load the script, and unused ones do not roll over
- Watch out: the page defaults to Brazilian reais, so check the dollar view before you rely on it
How we grade them
| 2.6GPAOptiMonkGood | 1.8GPAPop ConvertWeak | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | DEvery page load counts, so a site with 20,000 visitors viewing a few pages each goes past Essential's 50,000-pageview top. That means Growth: $69 a month billed yearly ($828), or $99 monthly, at the dear end of popup tools here. Every feature is on every plan. | C$12 a month for 10,000 pageviews and 2 sites, between the cheapest quarter ($8.25) and the middle ($14.92) for popup tools. Annual billing is 15% cheaper. The dollar figures come from the vendor's own data, and the page defaults to reais. |
| Free plan and trial | BFree forever: 10,000 pageviews a month on 1 domain, every feature, the AI agent with 1,000 credits a month, and no OptiMonk branding. A small blog could live on it, though a busier site will pass it. | FNo free plan and no trial are listed on the pricing page; every plan is paid. |
| Features | AAn AI agent that designs, writes, publishes and A/B tests popups, and an MCP server so you can build them from Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor, which no other tool here has. Spin-to-win, quizzes, upsells and 1,000+ examples too, with nothing held back by plan. | CGamified popups, bars, triggers, coupon controls and revenue metrics. Integrations lean to store platforms, with no mainstream email tools among those named, so the core job has gaps. |
| Ease of use | CNo rating on record. You describe a popup in a sentence, but you still add it to your store, keep an eye on AI credits and pageviews, and check what the agent makes. | CNo store rating on record. You build game campaigns and connect a store platform, and the pages are in Portuguese. |
| Platforms and integrations | BWeb, with 60+ integrations such as Shopify and Klaviyo, plus Zapier, webhooks and an API, and it can be run from Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor. No desktop or phone app, so B is the top. | BWeb app with Shopify, BigCommerce, PrestaShop, Nuvemshop, VTEX and RD Station. 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.
