Popupsmart captures. Privy captures and then emails. If you already pay for Klaviyo, add Popupsmart. If you want one bill for popup, email, and SMS, look at Privy.
Popupsmart: popupsmart.com/pricing, 23 August 2026. Privy: this site's Privy pricing page, last researched 9 January 2023 ($15/month Starter). We did not re-verify Privy for this pass.
How do the plans compare?
| Popupsmart (23 Aug 2026) | Privy (as of 9 Jan 2023 here) | |
|---|---|---|
| Meter | Pageviews | Contacts |
| Free plan | 5K pageviews, 1 live popup | Unlimited popups, advanced targeting in that write-up |
| Starting paid | $32.50/mo billed annually | $15/mo Starter |
| Shopify | App Store 4.8/5, 50 reviews | Built around Shopify |
| After the opt-in | You connect Klaviyo / Mailchimp / HubSpot | Email and SMS live in the product |
| A/B testing | Advanced and up ($57.50 billed annually) | Not the headline feature in our last pass |
The meter decides the bill over time. A high-traffic catalogue with a small list favours Privy (contacts stay cheap, pageviews do not). A quiet site with a fat list favours Popupsmart.
Who wins on Shopify?
Both are Shopify tools. Privy is the all-in-one for merchants who do not want a second ESP. Popupsmart is the popup layer that hands leads to the ESP you already have. The 4.8 from 50 Shopify reviews is Popupsmart's listing on 23 August 2026; we did not pull Privy's current Shopify rating for this page.
Who wins on popups?
Popupsmart, if you care about templates, gamification, and 18+ targeting rules. Privy, if "good enough capture" is fine because the email flow is the product.
Who should pick which?
Popupsmart if Klaviyo or Mailchimp already send your mail. Privy if you do not want that second vendor. Do not pay for both capture stacks.
