When Justuno is the better choice

- Justuno’s Done-For-You plan puts its experts and a dedicated account manager on your retention strategy. PopupGenius is self-serve.
- You want to identify anonymous visitors
- Spotlight feeds visitors your email tool could not see into abandonment flows. PopupGenius has nothing like it.
- You want reviews to lean on
- Justuno has been on the Shopify App Store since 2013, with hundreds of reviews. PopupGenius is new and has none yet.
When PopupGenius fits better
- You want to start free, then small
- A free plan with no end date, then $9.99 a month. Justuno starts at $59 a month after its trial.
- You keep changing the popup by typing
- The first draft is a starting point. Ask for a change in the same chat and the preview updates. How the popup builder works
- The upsell should charge what it showed
- PopupGenius applies the popup’s price as an automatic Shopify discount, so checkout, Shop Pay included, charges what the popup said without a code. Set up an upsell popup at add to cart

Questions about Justuno and PopupGenius
- Is Justuno’s AI builder the same idea?
- Close. Both start from a description. Justuno drafts the copy, layout and design from your goal and you fine-tune it in its editor. In PopupGenius you keep changing the popup by typing in the same chat.
- How do the prices compare at the same traffic?
- They count different things. Justuno counts unique visitors to the store, and PopupGenius counts the times a popup is shown, so a store with 10,000 visitors may show far fewer popups than that. Check your own numbers against both.
- What do I lose by switching?
- Spotlight visitor identification, AI Smart Timing and Justuno’s done-for-you service. If you rely on any of them, Justuno is the better fit.
- How do I switch?
- Install PopupGenius from the Shopify App Store, rebuild the popups you use by describing them or starting from a template, then turn the Justuno ones off so a visitor never sees two.
