Shaded rows are where the two answers disagree and both listings have answered. A row where one side has not stated a fact is left plain, because silence is not a difference.
OptinMonster
Popups and opt-ins with exit-intent targeting
OptinMonster captures email addresses from traffic a site already has, and its exit-intent trigger is the feature it built its name on: the offer appears as the pointer leaves for the tab bar. Campaigns can be aimed at a page, a referrer, a device or a returning visitor. It is a licence attached to a site rather than a platform holding the list, so the addresses go to whatever email tool is already in use. The pricing is annual and the first year is discounted, which is worth reading before budgeting.
Our note
Budget the standing $210 rather than the introductory $7, because the footnote is unambiguous that renewals are full price and that is the number you live with. Against ConvertFlow the split is clean: this targets better, that one personalises better, and only one of them needs your visitor history.

Unbounce
Landing pages built around the A/B test
Unbounce is a landing page builder whose reason to exist is what happens after the page is up: variants, traffic splitting and a record of which version won. Popups and sticky bars come with it. It is a conversion tool bought by people running paid traffic, and it is priced for them rather than for a first page.
