OptiMonk alternatives: five popup tools by price, meter and free plan

OptiMonk alternatives: five priced in US dollars

Five OptiMonk alternatives that publish a price are Popupsmart, OptinMonster, Privy, Poptin and Hello Bar. OptiMonk's Free plan counts 10,000 pageviews, and Essential is from $29 a month, billed monthly, for 20,000 pageviews on its plan card, as read on October 23, 2026. Each alternative meters traffic differently, so the allowance column matters as much as the price.

What OptiMonk gives first: 10,000 free pageviews, and no feature gates by its own account

OptiMonk's Free plan allows 10,000 pageviews a month, 1 domain and 1,000 AI credits, the monthly allowance its AI agent uses as it builds popups. OptiMonk says there are no feature gates between plans and no plan carries OptiMonk branding. Its free plan does not expire and needs no credit card.

Billed yearly, Essential is $19 a month ($228 a year) and Growth is $69 a month ($828 a year). At the pageview limit OptiMonk pauses campaigns, so a growing site moves up a plan or loses its popups. Refunds are available within 14 days of the first payment. OptiMonk says the Free plan is the trial.

Popupsmart: more pageviews on the first paid plan

Popupsmart Basic is $39 a month, billed monthly, for 50,000 pageviews and 3 websites. OptiMonk Essential is from $29 a month, billed monthly, for 20,000 pageviews on its plan card and 2 domains. Popupsmart's free plan is smaller than OptiMonk's, at 5,000 pageviews and 1 live popup, and its popups carry Popupsmart branding; Basic removes it.

Popupsmart gates some features by plan, where OptiMonk says it gates none: analytics start on Basic, and A/B testing starts on Advanced, $69 a month billed monthly. Extra pageviews cost $10 per 10,000 with auto-extend on. Popupsmart vs OptiMonk has the full comparison.

Privy and OptinMonster: email in the tool, or impression billing

Privy adds email sending. Its email plans start at $30 a month for up to 1,500 mailable contacts, with popups included, and a popups-only plan is $24 a month for up to 10,000 monthly page views. It has a 15-day free trial, no credit card required, and no free plan. Popupsmart vs Privy sets Privy against Popupsmart.
