Looking for the best exit-intent popup app for Shopify? We’ve got what you need right here.

Shopify exit-intent popups can convert, but picking the right app among a myriad of options can be a challenge.

That’s why we reviewed the top 13 Shopify exit-intent popup apps with their pros & cons, reviews and rating.

Why trust this list? I'm Faezeh Shafiee, a content marketing specialist at Popupsmart. This is Popupsmart's blog, Popupsmart is our product, and it's listed first. Every other app's price, free plan and rating comes from its own Shopify App Store listing, read on 30 September 2026, and the popup numbers come from Popupsmart's 2026 benchmark. I didn't install and test each app, so I don't claim results for any of them, and I say where another app does a job better. There are no affiliate links in this post.

Let's take a look at these apps one by one and choose the best fit for your business.

To begin with, let's learn more about exit-intent popups.

Do Exit-Intent Popups Work on Shopify? What Our 2026 Data Says

Merchants on r/shopify ask whether exit-intent popups have really worked for anyone. Our data answers the question differently than most app listings do: exit intent is a trigger, not the lever. In Popupsmart's 2026 popup benchmark, exit intent shows no statistically reliable advantage: popups on the most sensitive exit-intent setting converted 1.10% vs 0.78% without exit intent (median campaign), a gap that could be chance. The exact delay length (0–5 seconds vs 21–60 seconds) makes no measurable difference to conversion either.

What does separate popups is where they show and what they offer.

Info
By the Numbers: Popups on cart and checkout pages convert 4.57% vs 1.07% on the home page (median campaign), across every platform in Popupsmart's 2026 benchmark, with 90 cart and checkout campaigns behind the first figure.
What the popup does (Jan 2024 to Sep 2026) Lead rate with it Compared with What the benchmark says
Exit intent, most sensitive setting 1.10% 0.78% without exit intent No statistically reliable advantage; the gap could be chance
Waits 0–5 seconds vs 21–60 seconds – – The exact delay length makes no measurable difference
Shows on cart and checkout pages 4.57% 1.07% on the home page 90 cart and checkout campaigns, every platform
Offers a discount code in a signup popup 1.46% 0.75% without one Bigger discounts did not convert measurably better
Runs on a Shopify store 1.07% 0.66% on WordPress sites 35% of Shopify campaigns ask for an email or phone number, vs 25% on WordPress
Is seen for the third time or more in a week falls from the third view 1.33% and 1.22% for the first two views (pooled) From the sixth view it's 0.41%, 31% of the first-view rate

How we measured: a lead is a popup submission that contains an email address or phone number, and a rate is leads divided by popup displays, reported as the median campaign among popups that ask for an email or phone number, counting campaigns with at least 1,000 displays and 14 active days between January 2024 and September 2026. The view-count row is pooled across displays rather than a median campaign.

These numbers describe popups in general, and popups on Shopify stores in general. They are not the result of any app on this list, Popupsmart included.

My read: the exit trigger decides when a popup appears, and that's the part our data can't separate from chance. Where it appears and what it offers are the parts with a measured difference behind them. So I'd judge each app below on its page targeting, discount-code support and frequency rules first, and treat the exit trigger as one setting to test. For the full analysis of the trigger, including sensitivity settings and how to test it, read our exit-intent benchmark deep dive.

Careful
Common Mistake: Don't read a popup lead rate as a share of your visitors or set it against your store's conversion rate. A popup rate divides leads by popup displays; a store conversion rate is the share of sessions that end in an order.

What is a Shopify Exit-Intent Popup?

A Shopify exit-intent popup, also called exit popup, is a technique you can use to retain visitors about to leave your Shopify store.

Exit intent popups display by tracking your visitors’ leaving behavior, like their mouse movement to the browser's address bar or scrolling speed on their mobile devices.

Most often, exit-intent popups contain customized offers, discounts or graphics with Call-to-Actions to encourage engagement and stop visitors from departing immediately.

You can target your audience and provide them with last minute deals, free shipping offers, or discounts in exchange for information or reviews with a simple exit popup on your Shopify store.

Ultimately, all you should care about is making your Shopify exit popups engaging enough to grab your visitors' attention and deter them from exiting.

Here are some of the best exit-intent trigger strategies you can adopt today:

  • Reduce Cart Abandonment
  • Product Page Popups
  • FOMO Popups
  • Holiday-Specific Campaigns
  • Customized Demographic Popups

Whichever strategy you pick, check how the app handles phones. On a phone there's no cursor to follow, and that's where most popups are seen: 63% of popup displays in our benchmark happen on mobile. Apps estimate the exit from other signals, and each vendor describes its own. Popupsmart's exit-intent trigger reads mouse movement on desktop, with a low, medium or high sensitivity, and the speed of an upward scroll on mobile. Wisepops' help center says its mobile trigger fires on a back-button press or a slight scroll up, and not inside in-app browsers such as Facebook's. Shopify's guide to exit intent pop-ups lists rapid scrolling up, tapping the address bar, switching tabs and inactivity as the usual mobile signals.

Info
Pro Tip: Before you install, open the app's help center and find how its exit trigger works on mobile. With most popup displays on mobile, a desktop-only exit trigger misses most of your audience.

Why Do You Need Shopify Exit-Intent Popup Apps?

It's no secret that popups convert, and implementing exit-intent popups on your Shopify store is one of the decisions that can define your marketing success over time.

Popupsmart exit intent popup example showing four team members asking the user not to leave and book a demo

You might be surprised to learn that the average documented online shopping cart abandonment rate is 70.22%, according to the Baymard Institute's cart abandonment research, an average of 50 studies!

Well, not everyone will simply purchase your product or sign up for your mailing list without you triggering it.

That’s why you need the best Shopify exit-intent popup apps to detect cart abandonment and promote offers to increase your conversion rate.

Warning
Red Flag: Be wary of an app page that promises a fixed share of leaving visitors recovered. Our own benchmark couldn't separate exit intent's effect from chance, so a guaranteed recovery rate is a sales line, not a measurement.

You can benefit on so many levels by choosing the right app for your Shopify exit-intent popup, including:

So now, let’s dig in more and learn about the best Shopify exit-intent popup apps for your business. Excited, huh?

Best Shopify Exit-Intent Popup Apps

Every app below was checked on 30 September 2026 against four criteria:

  • It's live on the Shopify App Store. We opened each listing that day.
  • It offers an exit-intent trigger, shown on its App Store listing or documented in the vendor's help center. Each entry says which.
  • Its pricing is public on the listing. Prices and free-plan terms are the ones each listing shows, billed through Shopify. For Adoric, Privy, Wisepops, OptiMonk, Poptin and OptinMonster, which Popupsmart also covers on its alternatives pages, we say where the listing and the vendor's own website differ.
  • Its rating can be checked. Rating and review count as the listing showed them on the same day.

Two apps from this post's May 2023 edition didn't pass. Knowband's exit popup is a PrestaShop add-on, not a Shopify app. Abandonment Protector's listing now redirects to Sendvio: Email Marketing & SMS, an email and SMS platform whose listing doesn't describe an exit-intent popup trigger. The Kaktus Exit Intent Popup app and OptinMonster took their slots: both are live Shopify apps whose listings name exit-intent popups.

If you want a free plan and the same account for your other sites, start with Popupsmart. If you'll send your email and SMS from the popup app, look at Privy. If you only need one exit discount popup, SpurIT and Kaktus are the lightweight picks. For Shopify popup apps beyond exit intent, such as sales pops and announcement bars, see our Shopify popup apps compared side by side.

  1. Popupsmart (best for no-code exit popups on Shopify and your other sites, starting free)
  2. Personizely (best for stores that A/B test prices and pages and want popups in the same app)
  3. Adoric (best for small stores that want exit popups plus cart upsells, billed by orders)
  4. Privy (best for stores that will send their email and SMS from the same app)
  5. SpurIT Sales Pop-up Discount (best for a low-cost exit discount popup)
  6. Picreel (best for a free plan counted in visitors, with A/B testing included)
  7. Wisepops (best for high-traffic stores, up to 500K pageviews on its Shopify plan)
  8. OptiMonk (best for the largest free pageview allowance on this list)
  9. Poptin (best for exit-intent, SMS and spin-to-win popups on a free plan)
  10. Kaktus Exit Intent Popup (best for a single-purpose exit popup with usage-based pricing)
  11. OptinMonster (best for teams already running OptinMonster on other sites)
  12. StoreYa Exit Pop (best for desktop cursor tracking with A/B testing on every plan)
  13. Pixelpop (best for very small stores that want popups and promo bars)

Popupsmart is first because it's our product. The other twelve keep this post's May 2023 order, with the two new apps in the slots of the two we removed, so the numbers are not a ranking.

Can You Run an Exit-Intent Survey on Shopify?

Yes. An exit-intent survey is an exit popup that asks a question instead of making an offer: why are you leaving? It suits a store that wants the reasons before it writes a discount. Among the apps above:

  • Popupsmart: you can pair the exit-intent trigger with form elements built for questions: single choice, multiple choice, long text, a rating element and an opinion scale, as Popupsmart's popup elements guide lists.
  • Poptin, OptinMonster and OptiMonk list surveys among their pop-up types on their Shopify App Store listings.
Note
Quick Insight: An exit survey isn't a post-purchase survey. A post-purchase survey asks buyers after checkout how they found you; an exit survey asks the visitors who didn't buy, which is the group a discount popup is trying to win back.

Our benchmark doesn't measure survey popups, so there's no rate to quote here. I'd ask one question with three or four answers and an "Other" text field, then read the answers before deciding whether a discount is the fix. For question formats that work in a popup, see these popup survey examples.

How to Add an Exit-Intent Popup on Shopify

The steps are much the same in every app above; the settings are where the data helps.

  1. Install the app from the Shopify App Store and follow its setup to add it to your theme.
  2. Build a signup popup with an offer. A discount code is the offer with a measured difference behind it, as the table at the top of this post shows.
  3. Set the trigger to exit intent and check how the app handles mobile, where there's no cursor to track.
  4. Choose the pages. Start with the cart page rather than every page of the store: page placement has a measured difference behind it in our data, and the exit trigger doesn't.
  5. Cap how often one visitor sees it. The first two views in a week convert at similar rates and the decline starts with the third, so I'd cap it at two showings a week.
  6. Send the leads somewhere. Connect your email tool or sync to Shopify Customers. In our benchmark, the share of new campaigns connected to an external tool fell from 7.0% in 2024 to 3.1% in 2026, while native Shopify Customers sync rose from 1.0% to 9.1%.
  7. Preview it on a phone, then publish.

If you'd rather not add a popup app, Shopify's own free Shopify Forms app lists exit intent among its pop-up types (4.5 from 730 reviews, read 30 September 2026). It covers a basic signup form; the apps above add page targeting, frequency rules and tests.

Tip
Key Takeaway: Pick the page and the offer first, then the trigger. In our data, placement and a discount code have measured differences behind them; the exit trigger's gap could be chance.

To Cut a Long Story Short

That's all there is to our list. You now know all about the 13 great Shopify exit-intent popups you can use on your store to lift engagement and conversion rate.

We hope this review makes it easier for you to choose the right platform for your Shopify business.

Is a dedicated exit-intent app worth paying for? My answer: not for the trigger alone. Every app here has one, and our data can't separate its effect from chance. Pay for what sits around it: page targeting, discount codes, frequency caps and a clean sync to your email tool or Shopify Customers.

Choose Popupsmart if you want those on a free plan and one account for all your sites. Choose OptiMonk for the largest free pageview allowance, Privy if you'll send email and SMS from the same app, Wisepops if your traffic needs its 500K-pageview Shopify plan, and SpurIT or Kaktus if one exit discount is all you need. To compare the popup tools feature by feature, the popup tool alternatives hub puts them side by side.

If you have any questions, Popupsmart is always here to help!

FAQs

Do Exit-Intent Popups Work?

They can collect leads, but the trigger alone isn't what makes them work. The exit-intent popup technology displays the popup right before the visitors leave the website. In Popupsmart's 2026 benchmark, popups on the most sensitive exit-intent setting converted 1.10% of their displays vs 0.78% without exit intent (median campaign), a gap that could be chance. Where the popup shows and what it offers made a clearer difference: popups on cart and checkout pages converted 4.57% vs 1.07% on the home page, and signup popups with a discount code 1.46% vs 0.75% without one.

How Do I Use Exit Pop Up?

You can use the exit intent popup builder to create popups for your platform and offer incentives or create FOMO and recommend alternative products. An eye-catching popup right before leaving can trigger your visitors and increase your conversion rate. On Shopify, install the app, build the popup, set its trigger to exit intent, choose the pages it shows on, and publish.

What are the Best Exit Intent Apps?

Here is the list of best Shopify exit-intent popup apps, each checked for an exit-intent trigger on 30 September 2026: Popupsmart, Personizely, Adoric, Privy, Popup Upsell (now SpurIT Sales Pop-up Discount), Picreel, Wisepops, OptiMonk, Poptin, Kaktus Exit Intent Popup, OptinMonster, StoreYa Exit Pop and Pixelpop. Seven of them have a free plan for live stores: Popupsmart, Adoric, SpurIT, Picreel, OptiMonk, Poptin and Pixelpop.

Do Exit-Intent Popups Work on Mobile and iPhone?

Yes, but the trigger works differently. A phone has no cursor to track, so apps estimate the exit from other signals. Popupsmart's help center says its trigger reads the speed of an upward scroll on mobile, and Wisepops' help center describes a back-button press or a slight scroll up. It matters on Shopify because 63% of popup displays in Popupsmart's 2026 benchmark happened on mobile.

What Is the Best Free Shopify Exit Intent Popup App?

Seven apps on this list have a free plan for live stores, each counting its limit differently: Popupsmart (5K pageviews a month), OptiMonk (10,000 pageviews), Picreel (5,000 visitors a month), Poptin (1,000 visitors a month), SpurIT Sales Pop-up Discount (500 popup views), Pixelpop (100 popup views a month) and Adoric (up to 20 store orders a month). Compare them at your own monthly traffic, in each app's unit.

Can Shopify Show an Exit-Intent Popup Without Another App?

Yes, with Shopify's own free Shopify Forms app, which lists exit intent among its pop-up types on the Shopify App Store (4.5 out of 5 from 730 reviews, read on 30 September 2026). A dedicated popup app is the next step when you need page targeting, frequency rules or tests that Shopify Forms doesn't list.

What Is an Exit-Intent Survey on Shopify?

An exit-intent survey is a popup that asks leaving visitors why they're going, with a few answer options and sometimes a text field. In Popupsmart, you can pair the exit-intent trigger with its single-choice, multiple-choice and long-text form elements, and Poptin, OptinMonster and OptiMonk list surveys among their pop-up types on the Shopify App Store.
