Chose Picreel
It promises improved conversion rates with exit-intent pop-ups, and it has delivered on that promise. The integrated features ensure that it integrates seamlessly with other marketing efforts on your website.
Privy
Chose Privy
ActiveCampaign, Klaviyo, and Shopify all have pop-ups that plug into your site and email marketing.
Indirect competition: Typeform, Google Forms, and Wufoo are different kinds of forms - not really created for email capture.
Chose Privy

Adding Privy to your ecommerce store is a no brainer. You can very quickly increase your on-site email acquisition conversion rate through the Spin To Win wheel and other templates that Privy offers. You can also use it for additional on-site messaging like announcement bars and landing pages

Cons
  • A/B testing is good but the analytics and comparison feature when we A/B test the popups to check the campaign results need improvements.
  • As an e-commerce owner, leads are everything for our marketers to run campaigns and boost conversions. Picreel proved to be a great lead generation tool as we targeted website visitors with interactive pop ups at the right time. This helped us in reducing cart abandonment rates and we also witnessed an increase in our newsletter subscribers.
