  • G2 reviews still call out price and the visual editor

  • Six on-site channels in one campaign model, not just popups
  • Targeting still among the most detailed in this field
  • Shopify listing publishes a $299 plan with a 14-day trial
  • A/B tests can use a holdout group and auto-conclude at 95%

Skip Wisepops if
