Emailwish vs OptinMonster
Emailwish vs OptinMonster: no impression caps, welcome emails built in.
OptinMonster counts every campaign impression and sends each signup off to another app. Emailwish has no pageview or popup-view limits, starts every new subscriber on a welcome series that's already written, and adds reviews, live chat and wishlists, for less than OptinMonster's Shopify plan.
- Free plan, no credit card
- No impression or pageview limits

Why stores switch
Why Shopify stores switch from OptinMonster
A popup only pays off when the email that follows it lands. Emailwish handles both, so no signup gets lost between apps.
Every signup gets a welcome.
New subscribers go straight into a form signup series written in your brand's voice. Offer a discount in the popup and the code arrives in the first welcome email.
Five tools, one bill.
Popups, email marketing, reviews, live chat and wishlists come with every plan, including Free. No email integration to connect, no signups stuck between apps.
Popups that know the shopper.
Popup signups, chats, reviews and wishlist saves share one customer profile, so the emails that follow know what each shopper did on your store.
Traffic
Grow your traffic, not your popup bill
OptinMonster counts every campaign impression, from 2,500 to 100,000 a month, and moves you up a tier when you go over. Emailwish has no pageview or popup-view limits. You pay monthly for the emails you send, with every tool included.
- Exit-intent, timed and page-rule targeting on every plan
- Multi-step forms
- Approved reviews shown inside popups as social proof
Built in
From popup to first order
Signups sync straight into your lists and flows. The welcome series goes out, the abandoned cart flow catches shoppers who leave, and a review request follows their first delivery. No exports, no integration to keep in sync.
- Form signup series written and live at setup
- Abandoned cart flow for shoppers who don't check out
- Review requests after the first delivery
