Choose Poptin if you run a small site and need popups plus email campaigns under a single login. Choose Wisepops if you run a higher-traffic store or software site and want onsite notifications and web push. Poptin opens with a free plan, then paid plans billed monthly and higher ones quoted on request. Wisepops has no published price, so a sales conversation comes first.
A marketer who wants capture and follow-up in one place gets that from Poptin. Its contacts dashboard holds subscribers, and email campaigns and automations run on them, so a welcome workflow needs no second subscription. Campaigns can also be freed of the maker's badge, usually from a paid plan up. Chat and email help is staffed from Sunday through Friday, so a question raised on Saturday waits.
Higher-traffic sites and agencies with several client accounts are the buyers Wisepops has in mind. It adds a feed of announcements that visitors open on the page, and web push that reaches them after they leave. On Shopify stores it also fills a popup with products picked from a visitor's browsing. Some users find its conversion, click and goal tracking too limited for teams that judge campaigns by attribution.
Poptin's users praise the editor that non-technical staff can use without coding, and the quick, personal help they get, free plan included. Reviewers also like its lower cost than the tools they moved from. Complaints centre on a fiddly design editor and on usage limits that paid plans can reach. Wisepops's reviewers like the quick setup without a developer and the detailed targeting rules. Many value the price against competitors. Others report that pricing tied to page views gets costly on high-traffic sites.
Poptin tells of an agency growing ecommerce brands, whose job was to raise its own sign-ups for a newsletter and for webinars under GDPR rules. Subscription conversions rose within the first month, and registrations rose enough to bring new business meetings with prospects each month. One Wisepops customer, a fashion brand selling sustainable apparel, footwear and accessories, used popup automation instead of loading leads into its CRM by hand each month. The brand's email leads grew many times over, and acquiring each lead became much cheaper.
