Looking for a Shopify popup alternative?
BoostPop is the recommended alternative for Shopify merchants who are switching away from Pop Convert and similar flat-rate apps. The core reason is price: BoostPop has a Free plan (3,000 widget views a month, every feature, as many live widgets as you want, never a charge) and a Pro plan at one flat monthly price set by your Shopify plan, never paused and never throttled. Against Pop Convert's paid plan, as of 2026-10-01: BoostPop Pro costs less than Pop Convert's paid plan on every Shopify plan listed. Price is one input, so each guide also covers the features BoostPop lacks.
These guides are aimed at merchants who have already picked an app and are now asking "what should I switch to, and is the switch worth it?" Each guide covers why merchants leave the specific app, which alternatives are genuinely worth considering (including ones that are not BoostPop), how the feature coverage compares, and what the migration looks like in practice. Every pricing figure is sourced from the vendor's own Shopify listing with a verification date. If anything changes, the date tells you when to double-check. Trademarks belong to their respective owners; these guides are independent and unaffiliated.

What to look for when switching popup apps
Not every store needs the same thing from a popup app. Here are the questions worth answering before you install anything new.
-
What sets the price you pay?
Some apps price by your Shopify plan (BoostPop Pro and Pop Convert both do), others by pageviews, contacts or emails. Work out which tier your store would land on in each app, then compare those two numbers, and check what happens at the tier's limit: an upgrade, a pause, or nothing.
-
What features do you actually use?
Most merchants use popups, announcement bars, and targeting. Spin-to-win and in-popup upsells are valuable if your workflow calls for them, but do not pay for feature breadth you will never open.
-
How is support handled?
At lower traffic volumes most apps provide responsive support. At scale, support quality diverges quickly. Review recent, verified App Store reviews rather than overall averages, which can be dominated by older positive ratings.
-
What does migration actually involve?
Most popup app switches take under an hour: export your subscriber list, recreate your active campaigns, and pick your plan. Each guide covers the specifics for the app it addresses.
Free to install, no credit card.
