| Targeting | 18+ rules, SiteData, Smart Mode | Behaviour, time on page, referrer, cookies |

Who wins on price?
Adoric, if Startup is still $9. Popupsmart Free is $0 and publishes. For a site that can live on one campaign, that $0 beats $9.
Who wins on Shopify?
Popupsmart. Adoric is a web overlay. Popupsmart has an App Store listing, checkout-ready claims, and 50 reviews we could count on 23 August 2026.
Who should pick which?
Adoric if the budget is the brief and you want cookie and behaviour segments at a cheap paid tier (if that tier still exists). Popupsmart if you are on Shopify, you want a free plan with a wheel, or you want a public review sample larger than "reviewers reported bugs."
