| Value for money | CPoptin counts unique visitors, so 20,000 a month is past Basic's 10,000 and onto Pro: $47 a month billed yearly ($59 monthly) for 50,000 visitors on 4 domains. That's on the dear side of the middle for popup tools here. | DThe only published price is on Shopify: $2,990 a year for 500,000 pageviews, $249.17 a month, or $299 monthly. A site with 20,000 visitors uses a fraction of that and pays far more than popup tools here charge. Smaller plans, and sites off Shopify, get a price after a demo. |
| Free plan and trial | CFree forever with unlimited popups, but only for 1,000 visitors a month on one domain, with Poptin branding. A tiny blog might live on it. Most sites will hit the cap quickly. | CNo free plan, but Shopify stores get a 14-day free trial of the app. Anyone else has to book a demo first, so this C really applies to Shopify shops. |

| Ease of use | CNo rating on record. Templates get you started, but between 15+ targeting rules, triggers, A/B tests and an email builder, there's a fair bit to set up. | CNo rating on record. AI product picks set up in one click on Shopify, but you still build campaigns, choose from 30+ behaviour signals and watch your pageviews, which count even when nothing shows. |

Who each one suits
Poptin
- Small sites that need a free popup tool with a monthly visitor allowance

Worth knowing
Poptin
- The free plan stops at 1,000 visitors a month on one domain and shows Poptin branding.
- Basic covers a single domain; Pro allows 4, and unlimited domains, sub-accounts and users need Agency.
- Email is priced separately by contacts: Growth starts at $19 a month for 500 contacts and $119 at 10,000.
Wisepops
- The website publishes no prices and sends visitors to book a demo; the $299 plan is the one shown on the Shopify App Store.
- Every page load with its code counts as a pageview, whether or not a campaign shows, and bot traffic counts unless you block it.
- Past the limit, campaigns stop unless Extra Pageviews are on, at 1.5 times the base rate and at most double the plan; not on Shopify billing.
- There is no free plan; the entry price suits stores with a lot of traffic.
