The best SalesPop alternative for Shopify
BoostPop is our answer for merchants who want a SalesPop alternative: popups, bars and real-activity social proof in one app. Its Free plan covers 3,000 widget views a month with every feature and as many live widgets as you want, and its Pro plan is one flat monthly price set by your Shopify plan, from $9.99. BoostPop carries a 4.8-star rating across 180+ reviews and has been installed by 16,000+ stores. BoostPop is our own app, so this guide shows the data behind every claim, and it says plainly where SalesPop is ahead: SalesPop includes A/B testing, and BoostPop does not.
This page compares four apps from each app's own Shopify App Store listing, with a verification date next to every figure: BoostPop, Qikify Sales Pop up & Proof, ToastiBar Sales Popup & Proof and Vitals, with SalesPop as the app you are weighing them against.
When a SalesPop alternative makes sense
Three factual differences, and who should stay put.
Pricing is structured differently
SalesPop's listing prices plans by sessions per month: a free plan with 200 sessions, then paid plans from $29/mo to $129/mo (2,000 sessions on the entry paid plan). The listing may not show every plan, so a higher tier may exist. BoostPop's paid price does not move with traffic: the Free plan covers 3,000 widget views a month with as many live widgets as you want, and Pro is one flat monthly price set by your Shopify plan, from $9.99, never paused and never throttled. The two are priced on different bases, so check your own store's sessions and Shopify plan before comparing. Source: apps.shopify.com/shoppop, verified 2026-10-05.
Feature coverage differs
BoostPop has popups, announcement bars, spin-to-win, in-popup upsells and social proof in one install. SalesPop's listing, as captured on 2026-10-05, covers social proof and targeting, with partial popups and in-popup upsells, and does not list announcement bars or spin-to-win. If you want those on the same install as your sales notifications, that is the practical difference.
Where SalesPop is ahead
SalesPop includes A/B testing and BoostPop does not. SalesPop also has the larger review base: 913 reviews at 4.7 stars, against BoostPop's 180+ at 4.8. Its paid plans list live chat support. If you run split tests on your notifications, or you only need order and sales popups and you are happy with what you have, staying with SalesPop is a reasonable choice. These ratings come from each app's Shopify listing, verified 2026-10-05 for SalesPop and 2026-10-05 for BoostPop.
The best SalesPop alternatives
These 4 apps are worth a look. They are listed by one data-only rule: how fully the listing covers social proof, then App Store rating, with equal ratings ordered by review count. BoostPop is our own app and gets no special position in that order. Each card cites its own verification date.
Vitals
4.9★ · 2,962 reviewsBest for: merchants who want one suite of 40+ tools rather than a single-purpose app. Vitals is $29.99/mo for the All-in-One plan with a 7-day free trial and no free plan for live stores. The listing states that usage fees begin after about $1,000 per month in Vitals-attributed sales (from $10/mo) and also apply to Visitor Recordings volume, so check the pricing page for your own volumes.
The listing covers popups, social proof, spin-to-win, in-popup upsells and targeting, with partial announcement-bar coverage. A/B testing is not flagged as covered. It has the largest review base of the apps in this guide.

Side-by-side: BoostPop, SalesPop and three alternatives
BoostPop is always the first column. SalesPop sits next to it so you can see the feature differences directly, including the A/B testing row where SalesPop is ahead. Where a competitor's price shows a range, it spans that app's listed paid tiers, which are matched to sessions, Shopify plan or usage depending on the app.

How to switch from SalesPop to BoostPop
Set up BoostPop alongside SalesPop, check it, then remove the old app.
-
Write down your current setup
In the SalesPop admin, note which notification types you show, on which pages, and the timing and wording you use. If you run A/B tests, record the results now, because that workflow will not carry over.
-
Install BoostPop and recreate your notifications
Install BoostPop from the Shopify App Store. Turn on the social proof notification types that match what you showed before, and add any popups or announcement bars you want on the same install.
-
Pick your plan
The Free plan is enough if 3,000 widget views a month cover you, with as many live widgets as you want. Going past the monthly allowance needs Pro: click Try Pro free for 14 days (Upgrade to Pro if your store has used its trial) in the BoostPop app, and it sets the Pro price that matches your Shopify plan. New Pro stores get a 14-day free trial. Shopify shows its approval screen with the exact price and trial before anything is charged.
-
Check it on your live store
Turn SalesPop's notifications off while you check BoostPop on mobile and desktop, so shoppers never see two sets of notifications at once. Confirm the notifications appear on the pages you expect.
-
Remove SalesPop
Once you are satisfied, uninstall SalesPop from the Shopify admin. Confirm how billing is handled on the uninstall date in Shopify's billing documentation.
Note on A/B tests
SalesPop's listing includes A/B testing and BoostPop does not currently offer it. If ongoing split tests are central to how your team works, consider ToastiBar, whose listing also includes A/B testing, or stay with SalesPop.
Frequently asked questions
- What is the best SalesPop alternative for Shopify?
- It depends on what you need from it. BoostPop is our own app, so weigh that when reading this: it covers popups, bars and real-activity social proof in one app, on a Free plan (3,000 widget views a month, as many live widgets as you want) or Pro at one flat monthly price set by your Shopify plan, from $9.99. If you want a very low flat price, Qikify and ToastiBar list paid plans from $6.99/mo. If you want a broad 40+ tool suite, Vitals is the larger option. If A/B testing is essential, BoostPop is not the right pick, because it does not offer it.
- Does BoostPop have A/B testing like SalesPop?
- No. SalesPop's Shopify listing includes A/B testing; BoostPop does not currently offer it. If you run split tests on your notifications and plan to keep doing so, stay with SalesPop or look at ToastiBar, whose listing also includes A/B testing. If you mostly set up notifications once and adjust them occasionally, the gap may not matter for you.
- How does BoostPop pricing compare with SalesPop?
- They are priced on different bases, so there is no one-to-one comparison. SalesPop's listing prices plans by sessions per month: a free plan with 200 sessions per month, and paid plans from $29/mo to $129/mo (2,000 sessions per month on the entry paid plan), per the listing verified 2026-10-05; the listing may not show every plan, so a higher tier may exist. BoostPop's paid price does not move with traffic: its Free plan includes 3,000 widget views a month with as many live widgets as you want and never a charge, and Pro is one flat monthly price set by your Shopify plan ($9.99/mo on Shopify Basic or Starter, $19.99/mo on Shopify Grow, $49/mo on Shopify Advanced, $99/mo on Shopify Plus), never paused and never throttled. Check how many sessions your store generates and which Shopify plan you are on before comparing.
- What does BoostPop's social proof include?
- Nine notification types built only from real store activity: recent orders, cart adds, live and recent visitors, low stock and trending products. Every notification is built from real activity in your own store. Social proof sits alongside popups, announcement bars, spin-to-win and in-popup upsells in the same install, so you can use them together or switch any of them off.
- How do I switch from SalesPop to BoostPop?
- Note down your current notification setup (which notification types you show, on which pages, and the timing), install BoostPop from the Shopify App Store, recreate those notifications, pick your plan (Free, or Pro at one flat monthly price set by your Shopify plan), and turn SalesPop's notifications off while you check BoostPop on mobile and desktop. When you are satisfied, uninstall SalesPop from the Shopify admin. Confirm billing details for the uninstall date in Shopify's billing documentation.
Free to install: no credit card.
