How we grade them

|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CStarter is $14 a month regular price at 50,000 visitors (the page showed a $9 sale rate), inside the $9 to $29 range. | CEvery page load counts, so a site with 20,000 visitors viewing a few pages each passes Basic's 50,000 pageviews. Advanced is $57.50 a month billed yearly ($690), or $69 monthly, and adds A/B testing. That's toward the dear end of popup tools here. |

The whole job, though A/B tests start at Advanced. |
| Ease of use | CNo rating on record; you build from templates and connect your tools. | CNo rating on record. One snippet installs it and the AI builder drafts a campaign from a sentence, but you still choose targeting rules, or trust Smart Mode, and tidy up the design. |

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.
