Best for spin-to-win pop-ups for email and SMS capture
Wheelio makes spin-to-win and scratch-card pop-ups that collect emails and phone numbers, from $14.92 a month for 30,000 impressions. There is no free plan, and it does only game-style pop-ups.
Who Wheelio is for
- Fits if you run a Shopify store and want a spin-to-win offer
- Works for stores that collect emails and SMS numbers with coupons
Who Wheelio is not for
- Not for you if you want a free plan, as there is none after the 7-day trial
- Pricey if your store is busy, as price steps up with impressions from 30,000 to 750,000
- Skip it if you need ordinary forms or banners, since it is game-style pop-ups only
- Tight if you are not on Shopify, as other platforms sign up through the vendor dashboard
Why Wheelio gets a 2.2
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- CValue for money$14.92 a month for 30,000 impressions sits inside the $9 to $29 range; plans climb to $249.92 for 750,000.
- CFree plan and trial7-day free trial; the listing does not say a card is needed. No free plan.
- CFeaturesThree game formats, email, SMS and push capture, coupons and triggers. It does that job fully, but it is a smaller job than a general popup builder.
- CEase of useNo rating on record; you set up the game, prizes and coupons.
- BPlatforms and integrationsWeb only, built around Shopify, with eight integrations listed.

Keep Wheelio, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Wheelio you would be making texts to thousands of numbers, registered with the carriers. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 14 of the 25 other popup and widget tools grade higher. It costs $179.04 a year.
What you could make
- Popups: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- Texts to thousands of numbers, registered with the carriers.
- It plugs into other products, Klaviyo, Mailchimp and Omnisend among them.
What this rests on. Wheelio’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.
What is Wheelio?
Wheelio shows gamified pop-ups, a prize wheel, a slot machine or a scratch card, that trade a discount for a visitor's email address or phone number. It is built mainly for Shopify stores and also works on other platforms through a dashboard. Pricing follows monthly impressions.
Worth knowing
- There is no free plan; the first step is $14.92 a month after a 7-day trial.
- Price follows impressions, so a busy store moves up steps from 30k to 750k a month.
- Built around Shopify; stores on other platforms sign up through the vendor dashboard instead.
- Game-style pop-ups only: it is not a general-purpose form or banner builder.
Key features
- Three game formats
- Choose a wheel of fortune, a slot machine or a scratch card as the pop-up, with a set of predefined templates to start from.
- Email, SMS and push capture
- Collect email addresses, phone numbers, Messenger and push-notification opt-ins, passed on through the connected partner service.
- Coupon injection and dynamic codes
- Says it can inject the won discount straight into the Shopify checkout and create a unique code for each visitor to track sales.
- Triggers and scheduling
- Set when and where a campaign shows, using timing and exit-intent style triggers plus scheduling in the campaign setup.
- Email validation
- Uses an outside service to check each address and prevents duplicates, to keep the list clean.
- Consent options
- The vendor says pop-ups can be set up to follow GDPR, and to meet TCPA rules when collecting SMS leads.
