Which one is for you

Pick SalesPop if

  • Fits if you run a Shopify store and want recent-sales popups
  • Works for a store that wants to try a plan with no card

Look elsewhere if

  • Not for you if your store is not on Shopify
  • Tight if your store passes 1,000 visitors a month on the free plan
  • Skip it if you want different features at different prices: every plan lists the same ones
  • Watch out: the page says it works best on stores with established traffic, and billing is through Shopify every 30 days

Pick TrustPulse if

  • Fits if you run one site and want social proof notifications at about $9
  • Works for brand-new sites that fit inside 500 free sessions

Look elsewhere if

  • Tight if your site has any traffic, since the free option stops at 500 sessions for brand-new sites
  • Watch out: $5, $10, $19 and $39 are introductory rates, and renewals are at full price
  • Watch out: Basic caps visitors at 1,500 and covers one site
  • Skip it if you want branding removed, as that starts at Pro at $34
  • Watch out: analytics notifications and action messages need Plus

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.
