OptiMonk vs Poper (2026): which should you pick?

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 Poper if

• Fits if you want popups and quizzes for a small site on one website
• Works for people who can pick a plan by monthly visitors

Look elsewhere if

• Tight if you want A/B tests or quizzes, since they need Pro at $23
• Watch out: prices change with monthly visitors, from a 50,000 default up to 1M+
• Watch out: a Black Friday sale runs to November 30, and sale rates are locked while you subscribe
• Pricey if you want white label, at $499 a month, or priority onboarding at $199 once
• Not for you if you need an API or SSO without Business at $48

OptiMonk

• Every page load counts as a pageview whether or not a popup shows; at the limit, campaigns pause until you upgrade or the month resets.
• Each subdomain counts as a separate domain, and Essential allows only 2.
• The agent draws on a monthly allowance of AI credits; more credits mean moving up a plan.
• Prices exclude VAT; EU customers without a valid VAT number pay 27% Hungarian VAT.

Poper

• Prices change with monthly visitor volume; the page defaults to 50k visitors and has a slider up to 1M+.
• A Black Friday sale runs through November 30, and the page says the sale rate stays locked while subscribed.
• A white-label add-on is $499 a month, and a priority onboarding package is $199 one-time.
• A/B testing, gamification and quizzes need Pro; API access, SSO and payment forms need Business.
