Popupsmart Basic is $32.50 a month billed annually for 50,000 pageviews, with a free plan at 5,000 views (popupsmart.com/pricing, 29 August 2026). Adoric web Basic is $100 a month for 300,000 pageviews (adoric.com/pricing). Adoric also sells a Shopify popup app from $4.99/mo on store orders (adoric.com/shopify-pricing). Our 2023 copy had Adoric Startup at $9. That web list is dead.

Pick Popupsmart for a free plan, a wheel, and a Shopify embed you can install tonight. Pick Adoric web if you will use behaviour, cookie and HTML targeting and you can stand $100. Pick the Adoric Shopify app if the order-based ladder undercuts Popupsmart's $32.50.

Who wins on price?

Popupsmart, on a generic website.

Adoric web is $100 / $250 / $350 / $500 a month. Basic includes 300,000 pageviews and 3 domains. A/B tests start at $250. Logo-off starts at $350. Paying $100 for a wheel Popupsmart ships on Free is a waste.

On Shopify the comparison can flip. Adoric's popup app starts at $4.99/mo for 0–100 monthly store orders. That is cheaper than Popupsmart Basic until order volume climbs. Full ladder: Adoric pricing.

Who wins on Shopify?

Depends which Adoric you mean.

Popupsmart's App Store listing is 4.8/5 from 50 reviews and prints a $19 Starter the website does not. The website table is the one we quote. Adoric's Shopify app is a first-class order-based SKU with recs, upsells and cart abandonment listed on every paid rung.

If you want a wheel and a free plan on Shopify, Popupsmart. If you want recs billed on orders, Adoric's app.

Who should pick which?

Popupsmart if the brief is a first campaign today, a free plan, or a wheel without a $100 floor. Read the Popupsmart review.

Adoric web if you will segment on cookies, behaviour and HTML and $100/mo is acceptable.

Adoric Shopify if you are on Shopify and the $4.99 order ladder is the better bill.

Neither if you want gamified campaigns at $19/mo yearly (OptiMonk).

Is Adoric still $9 a month?

No. Web Basic is $100/mo on adoric.com/pricing (checked 29 August 2026). The $9 Startup figure was this site's January 2023 note. The Shopify app from $4.99 is a different product.

Does Popupsmart include A/B tests on Free?

No. Tests start on Advanced at $57.50/mo billed annually. Adoric web starts tests at $250/mo. OptiMonk includes tests on Free.
