Source: https://v2.zotabox.com/membership/pricing ## Key features - **Popups:** Clickable banner popups and exit-style popups that collect emails or promote offers, with display rules. - **Header bar and notification box:** A top bar and a notification box for free-shipping messages, limited-time offers and discount codes. - **Contact form builder:** Contact, survey and request forms with inquiry tracking. - **Other site tools:** Slide box, showcase slider, Facebook Messenger chat, EU cookie notice, back-to-top button, store locator and social buttons. - **Email service integration:** On premium plans, captured emails can be sent to a connected email service. ## Good for - Small online stores that want several simple promotion tools from one vendor - Shopify merchants wanting a low-cost popup plan ## Worth knowing - Multiple tools of one kind on the same site, email collection, countdown timers, coupons and branding removal are premium features. - Plans are priced by monthly visits and cover 1 website; the pricing page lists a 3-website option as well. - Add to cart and upsell tools are marked as available only on Shopify, BigCommerce, Ecwid and Shopline. - The info.zotabox.com homepage still shows placeholder footer details, so use the pricing page for plan facts. ## ToolGPA grades **GPA: 2.2 out of 4**, graded Nov 13, 2026. Zotabox bundles 20-plus site tools, including popups, header bars and a contact form, with a free plan and paid plans from $8.39 a month. The free plan leaves out email capture, countdown timers, coupons and branding removal, which are the parts people usually want. - **Value for money: C.** $8.39 a month on yearly billing for 10,000 visits, $11.99 monthly. That sits just outside the cheapest quarter of popup tools ($8.25), so it is ordinary for the category. - **Free plan and trial: C.** A free plan and a 14-day premium trial. The free plan leaves out email collection, countdown timers, coupons and multiple tools of one kind per site. - **Features: C.** Many small tools in one place, but email capture, timers and coupons are premium, and add-to-cart and upsell tools only work on Shopify, BigCommerce, Ecwid and Shopline. - **Ease of use: C.** No store rating on record. There are 20-plus tools to pick from and set up, so it takes some picking through. - **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web app with Shopify, BigCommerce, Ecwid, Shopline and Mailchimp. It runs on a website and has no phone or desktop app. These are ToolGPA's own grades. Graded from this listing, whose facts were read from Zotabox's own pages on 13 November 2026.

The category's chart of price against score: https://toolgpa.com/charts/popups ## Keep it, or make your own? **Keep it.** To replace Zotabox you would be making email sent in volume that still reaches the inbox. 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: 21 of the 54 other popup and widget tools grade higher. It costs $100.68 a year. - You could make: Popups and forms: an app builder makes these well. - You could not: Email sent in volume that still reaches the inbox. - You could not: It plugs into other products, Shopify, BigCommerce and Ecwid among them.
