Which one is for you
Pick Pop-up Domination if
- Fits if you want a hosted popup service across several sites on one plan
- Makes sense if your traffic stays under about 10,000 popup views a month
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if your traffic grows: more views means a higher tier, from $54 to $594 a year
- Skip it if you want a free plan, since there is only a trial
- Watch out: the page footer reads 2009-2017 and a banner mentions a GDPR deadline, so parts of the site look dated
- Watch out: the page does not say whether the trial needs a card
Pick BDOW! if
- Fits if your site is on Showit, since you add it from inside your Showit account
- Works for WooCommerce shops that want cart recovery and discount popups
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you sell on Shopify, as its Shopify app is unavailable for now
- Not for you if you want to try it without a card, as the 14-day trial needs one
- Pricey if you run several sites, as each one needs its own Pro plan
- Tight if your list grows, as Pro rises to $48 a month at 10,000 stored contacts and 50,000+ is quoted
- Watch out: the site's menu still says free forever, but there's no longer a free plan

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.
