# OptiMonk

> Popups for online stores, built by an AI agent you describe them to

OptiMonk makes popups, spin-to-win wheels, quizzes and other on-site messages for online stores, mainly through an AI agent: you describe the popup and it designs, writes and publishes it, then runs A/B tests. It can also be driven from Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor through an MCP server, and a visual editor is there for changes by hand. Every plan has every feature; plans differ by monthly pageviews, AI credits and domains.

## Key features

- **AI agent that builds popups:** Describe a popup in a sentence and the agent designs it, writes the copy and publishes it, then suggests new campaigns from your store's data.
- **MCP server for AI assistants:** Connect Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any MCP client to build, edit and publish popups from a chat, free on every plan.
- **Popup types and library:** Welcome and exit-intent discounts, spin-to-win, quizzes, upsells, seasonal offers and video popups, with more than 1,000 examples to start from.
- **A/B testing:** The agent runs A/B tests on real visitors and offers to roll out the winning version.
- **Visual editor:** Open any campaign in a click-to-edit editor with shared desktop and mobile designs to change details by hand.
- **60+ integrations:** Email, SMS, CRM and store tools such as Klaviyo and Shopify, with signups sent straight to a list, plus Zapier, webhooks and an API.

## Good for

- Online stores that want popups built from a short description
- Small stores that can stay on a free plan of 10,000 pageviews
- Teams already working in Claude or ChatGPT

## Worth knowing

- Every page load counts as a pageview whether or not a popup shows; at the limit, campaigns pause until you upgrade or the month resets.
- Each subdomain counts as a separate domain, and Essential allows only 2.
- The agent draws on a monthly allowance of AI credits; more credits mean moving up a plan.
- Prices exclude VAT; EU customers without a valid VAT number pay 27% Hungarian VAT.

## ToolGPA grades

**GPA: 2.6 out of 4**, graded Oct 18, 2026. OptiMonk lets you describe a popup in a sentence and has an AI agent design, write, publish and A/B test it, and you can even run it from Claude or ChatGPT. Every feature is on every plan, the free one included. The catch is pageviews: every page load counts, popup or not, so a busy site climbs the plans fast.

- **Value for money: D.** Every page load counts, so a site with 20,000 visitors viewing a few pages each goes past Essential's 50,000-pageview top. That means Growth: $69 a month billed yearly ($828), or $99 monthly, at the dear end of popup tools here. Every feature is on every plan, at least.
- **Free plan and trial: B.** Free forever: 10,000 pageviews a month on 1 domain, every feature, the AI agent with 1,000 credits a month, and no OptiMonk branding. A small blog could live on it, though a busier site will pass it.
- **Features: A.** An AI agent that designs, writes, publishes and A/B tests popups, and an MCP server so you can build them from Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor, which no other tool here has. Spin-to-win, quizzes, upsells and 1,000+ examples too, with nothing held back by plan.
- **Ease of use: C.** No rating on record. Describing a popup in a sentence is about as easy as it gets, but you still add it to your store, keep an eye on AI credits and pageviews, and check what the agent makes.
- **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web, with 60+ integrations such as Shopify and Klaviyo, plus Zapier, webhooks and an API, and it can be run from Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor. No desktop or phone app, so B is the top.

## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** To replace OptiMonk you would be making an AI agent, with the models and the safeguards behind it. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.6 is higher than 11 of the 12 other popup and widget tools we grade. It costs $228 a year.

- You could make: Popups and templates: an app builder makes these well.
- You could not: An AI agent, with the models and the safeguards behind it.
- You could not: Splitting visitors between versions and telling you which won.
- You could not: It plugs into other products, Shopify, Klaviyo and Zapier among them.
- You could not: The depth: we grade its features A, which means it covers the whole job.
