Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.0
GPA, above 1 of the 12 other popup and widget tools we grade
ConvertBox shows slide-ins, center modals, sticky bars, full-page takeovers and embedded boxes on any website to capture leads, run offers and segment visitors with multi-step surveys and quizzes. Messages can be targeted on data from your email or CRM tool, such as list and tag, as well as on page activity. It is sold as a lifetime account for a single one-time payment rather than a subscription.
To get you started, here are 8 things to know about ConvertBox, taken from its own pages and our grades.
- 1
Best for paying once for targeted popups and quizzes
ConvertBox shows popups, bars and slide-ins that can react to who a visitor is in your email tool, like which list or tag they're on, and it runs quizzes and multi-step surveys too.
- 2
What it costs
Paid plans start at $495 one-time for 250,000 views a month on 10 websites.
- 3
It runs on Web
Web.
- 4
Display formats
Slide-in notifications, center modals, sticky bars, full-page takeovers, and boxes embedded in content or a sidebar.
- 5
Targeting from your email tool
Combine rules such as ESP lists and tags, visit count, pages seen, location, referrer, device, URL parameters, scroll depth and exit intent.
- 6
Surveys, quizzes and multi-step funnels
Multi-choice steps with skip logic, quiz scoring, progress bars and conditional actions that tag contacts in your CRM.
- 7
A 2.0 GPA, above 1 of 12
That is against the other popup and widget tools we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.

The report card
Best for paying once for targeted popups and quizzes
ConvertBox shows popups, bars and slide-ins that can react to who a visitor is in your email tool, like which list or tag they're on, and it runs quizzes and multi-step surveys too. You pay $495 once instead of every month. The catch: there's no trial, the deal is sold as early access that may close, and its terms let it shut any account with 30 days' notice.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | $495 once for 250,000 views a month on 10 sites, far more than a 20,000-visitor site needs. Spread over two years that's about $20.63 a month, just above the cheapest quarter here, with nothing more to pay after. But the deal may close or rise without notice. |
| Free plan and trial | F | No free plan and no free trial. The page offers 14 days risk-free, but that's a refund promise, not a trial: you pay the $495 before you see it on your site. |
| Features | B | Slide-ins, modals, sticky bars, takeovers and embedded boxes, targeted on your email tool's lists and tags as well as pages, scroll and exit intent. Multi-step quizzes, countdowns, personal text and A/B tests too. It covers the whole job. |
| Ease of use | C | No rating on record. Templates and a drag-and-drop editor help, but the best part, targeting by your email tool's tags, means connecting that tool and building rules, and mobile gets its own design. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Works on any site, with direct links to ActiveCampaign, ConvertKit, Drip, HubSpot, Keap, Klaviyo and Mailchimp, a WordPress route and webhooks for Zapier. No desktop or phone app. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who ConvertBox is for
- Great if you'd rather pay once than keep a monthly bill going
- Handy when you want different offers for people already on your email list
- Good for quizzing new visitors and tagging them in your CRM by their answers
Who it is not for
- Skip it if you want to try before you pay, as there's no free plan or trial
- Not for you if a lifetime deal that may close or rise without notice makes you nervous
- Tight if you outgrow 250,000 views or 10 sites, as the PRO upgrade's price shows only at checkout
Good to know
Good for
- Marketers who would rather pay once than pay a monthly fee

- The plan stops at 250,000 views a month on 10 websites; more needs the PRO upgrade, whose price is shown only at checkout.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
The plain part of ConvertBox you could make: popups, forms and surveys. What surrounds it you could not. The 3 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 11 of the 12 other popup and widget tools grade higher. It costs $495, paid once.
What you could make
- Popups, forms and surveys: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Splitting visitors between versions and telling you which won.
- It plugs into other products, ActiveCampaign, ConvertKit and Drip among them.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. ConvertBox’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
