Side by side
PopzIQ and OptinMonster
A popup and campaign tool that captures leads and hands them to an email service you already pay for.
OptinMonster has the deeper campaign library and the wheel actually spins. PopzIQ is the one where the popup, the contact, the email and the follow-up are one product. You can also start without paying.
The numbers
What each one actually gives you

| The question | PopzIQ | OptinMonster |
|---|---|---|
| Is there a free plan | Yes. It captures, stores and sends. | No free plan. A 14-day money-back guarantee. |
| Lowest price to start | Free, with no card | Basic at $7 a month billed annually, listed at $84 a year against a normal price of $210 |
| Sites you can run it on | No site count. One tag, on as many sites as you own. | 1 site on Basic, 5 on Growth at $49 a month |
| How showing a campaign is counted | Views are not metered. Submissions are: 1,000 a month on the free plan. | 2,500 campaign impressions a month on Basic, 100,000 on Growth |
| Does it send the email afterwards | Yes. Broadcasts from your own sending domain, on the same customer record the popup created. | It does not send email itself and integrates with a separate email marketing service |

The other direction
Where OptinMonster is the better answer
A comparison page that finds nothing to say here is an advert. These are things PopzIQ does not have. One of them names an open row on our own product map.
The PopzIQ spin-to-win mode is a real choice on a real form and it draws as a popup. The wheel is not drawn yet. If the animation is the reason you are here, OptinMonster has it and we do not.
PopzIQ has no content locking, no countdown campaigns and no coupon wheel library. Seven display modes and seven targeting conditions is the whole set.
PopzIQ has no WordPress plugin. The tag is a script tag you paste into a theme.
PopzIQ has no Zapier app and no directory of integrations with email services, because it is the email service.

The cheapest way to settle this is to try it
The free plan captures, stores and sends. No card, no trial clock and nothing to uninstall if it is not for you.
No card to start. No trial clock. The free plan runs the whole loop.
