What Zyro's pop-ups add

These are real parts of Zyro's pop-ups today.

Proof of real lift. A group that sees no pop-up shows what the pop-up really added. Growth and Scale.
Leaked code alerts. Zyro flags a discount code when shoppers from coupon sites use it. It also flags a code used 3 times more than in a normal week. On every plan.
One-time codes. Each sign-up can get its own code, from Starter.
A safe discount. Once your costs are in, see the biggest discount each product can take. It still keeps 10% of its price as profit.
A fair spin wheel. Zyro's server picks the prize.
Calm checkout. Pop-ups never show on your cart or checkout pages.

Which one should you pick?

Pick OptiMonk if

You want live pop-ups for free.
You want an AI agent to design pop-ups from a chat.
You want A/B tests on pop-ups on every plan.

You want a pop-up tool with years on the App Store.

You want pop-ups, profit, tests and store alerts in one app.

Can you run both?

Zyro's profit, sales by channel and alerts work on the free plan, next to any pop-up app.

Uninstall Zyro on Shopify and its plan ends.
