Why Stores Switch from Privy
Privy is a solid tool, but there are better options for Shopify stores
Pricing Adds Up
Privy's free plan is limited to 100 email contacts. Paid plans start at $30/month, and spin-to-win costs extra.
Manual Discount Setup
Privy requires you to manually create discount codes in Shopify, then copy them into your popup. Spur Popups does this automatically.
Limited Revenue Tracking
Privy shows signups, but can't easily tell you which subscribers actually purchased. Tracking ROI requires manual work.
Spur Popups vs Privy
What Privy Charges Extra For
Spin to Win Wheels
Privy's gamified "Spin to Win" feature requires a paid plan upgrade. With Spur Popups, spin-to-win is included free with full customization - wheel colors, prizes, probabilities, and celebration effects.
Advanced Targeting
Privy's advanced targeting and display rules are locked behind higher-tier plans. Spur Popups includes exit intent, scroll triggers, time delays, and device targeting from the start.
SMS Collection
Privy charges $10-45/month extra for SMS. With Spur Popups, phone number collection is included free, and numbers sync to your Shopify customers for use with any SMS platform.
Unique Coupon Codes
Privy can display coupons, but generating unique codes per subscriber requires manual Shopify setup. Spur Popups automatically creates unique Shopify discount codes for each signup.
