## What do you need your website to do next?
A publisher wants one invitation on the pricing page and a different one after a long article. Adoric Classic can use page conditions, click events or scroll depth to trigger those messages. Hello Bar also supports URL and event rules, and can turn the invitation into a question-by-question feedback survey.
Billing can change the answer even if the two campaigns look identical. Classic budgets site pageviews and domains. Hello Bar budgets displayed popup views per site. A high-traffic property that shows a survey to a small fraction of readers may need very different capacities in the two systems.
## How the comparison works
15 rounds compare both platforms against the same 196 capability criteria, with 100 points distributed across the sections. Each round explains the practical differences and adds to the running score. The table beneath each round shows how the points are awarded, with the source behind each verdict.
## Round 1: Formats & content
Weight: 9 points.
Adoric Classic supports promotional popups, notification bars, teasers and carousels. Dynamic text can insert a visitor’s name or city into an offer. Hello Bar offers text-only announcements, top or bottom bars, sliders and floating alerts. A notice can retain its close control without asking for a signup or adding a destination button.

## Round 2: Forms
Weight: 12.6 points.
Classic supports multi-step campaigns and form handoff to connected providers. In the separate Shopify editor the field picker includes phone, email, hidden values and choice fields. A form can collect an email, phone, free text and choices. The survey editor can present one question at a time and show a progress counter.

## Round 3: Surveys
Weight: 4.5 points.
For a satisfaction score followed by a written explanation, Hello Bar has a dedicated rating field and a modal survey sequence. Adoric’s preference fields are more directly suited to tailoring the offer presented to a subscriber. A campaign can collect preferences during signup. The Shopify editor offers radio buttons, checkboxes and dropdowns. A choice between product interests alone does not produce a satisfaction score. Forms & Surveys includes modal questionnaires with a progress counter, star ratings, numerical scales, yes/no questions and multiple selections. Quiz is a separate goal for scored questions.

## Round 4: Gamification
Weight: 4.5 points.
The Shopify Popups edition documents spin-to-win offers. Classic uses a different subscription and feature record, so a merchant buying the wheel should compare the Shopify offer directly. The gamification editor includes spin-to-win, scratch cards and mystery boxes. A campaign can assign probabilities to prizes and include a losing outcome.

## Round 5: Targeting
Weight: 10.8 points.
Classic combines URLs and queries with country, device, visit history and cookies. Delay, exit, scroll and element clicks can trigger the popup. Frequency rules control when the same person becomes eligible again. Combine URL, previous page, traffic source, location and visitor conditions. A custom browser event can trigger an existing popup, with a limit on repeated displays.

## Round 6: Experiments
Weight: 6.3 points.
Classic lists A/B testing, but its Basic feature matrix and Essentials summary disagree about the minimum plan. The separate Shopify product describes an even split with a manually chosen winner. Paid plans starting with Growth include A/B testing. The offer counts popup views per site, so a test’s reach depends on both its audience rules and the plan allowance.

## Round 7: Email & SMS
Weight: 4.5 points.
Classic hands collected contacts to an email provider. Selecting the destination list and fields determines what the provider can use in a welcome campaign. Hello Bar delivers signups to a contact list and can alert account admins when a new lead arrives. Follow-up campaigns can run in the connected email service.

## Round 8: Team & sites
Weight: 4.5 points.
Adoric Essentials combines four domains in one allowance. Hello Bar keeps the campaigns, contacts and analytics of each site separate. Check whether the client wants pooled capacity or a clean operational split between sites. Classic Basic includes three domains and Essentials includes four. A domain allowance helps plan traffic across properties but does not specify which colleagues can publish to a client site. Each website has separate campaigns, contacts and analytics. Growth includes three seats. Premium and Elite list unlimited seats.

## Round 9: Developer
Weight: 4.5 points.
A named JavaScript event can trigger an existing campaign. Classic forms also support outbound requests to a configured endpoint with field mapping and an optional authorization header. Hello Bar can send captured contact data to an endpoint through webhooks, listed for Premium and Elite. This is a delivery route for leads rather than an external campaign-management interface.

## Round 10: Support
Weight: 1.8 points.
Classic lists email support on Basic and Essentials. Its Klaviyo setup guide directs customers to the support team for help connecting that provider. Compare the channel you need rather than assuming “priority” means live chat or a guaranteed response time. A support upgrade can change the useful plan even when campaign capacity is sufficient.

## Round 11: Editor & workflow
Weight: 5.4 points.
Classic provides a campaign editor with separate mobile and tablet variations. Adoric’s published prompt-based builder guide is for Bundles, a separate product from the popup editor. Hello Bar lets you configure a campaign in the free editor and save it paused before activation. Separate the editing workflow from the paid allowance needed for ongoing views and split tests.

## Round 12: Data & reporting
Weight: 4.5 points.
Classic can track purchases following popup exposure as conversion goals. A merchant can compare the visitors who claimed an offer with the visitors who eventually bought. Native contact lists can be exported. Salesforce connections can create a Contact or Lead with mapped popup fields, which affects where sales staff find the new enquiry.

## Round 13: Integrations
Weight: 4.5 points.
Classic documents direct email and CRM connections, including list and field selection. A custom webhook can route a submission to a service outside the named catalogue. Hello Bar connects to providers including Mailchimp, ActiveCampaign and Kit; its FAQ places webhooks on Premium and Elite.

Adoric Popup & Email Popups is a separate Shopify edition with order-based billing. Its store templates include coupon, exit and spin-to-win campaigns. Classic bills by site pageviews.

## What matters most to you?
First, check that each tool can do the task. An absent or unconfirmed required capability means a dash with an explanation instead of a scenario score, and no winner highlight. Only qualifying tools share the points; a sole qualifier earns the full weight of each criterion it meets. 70 points go to the criteria directly related to it, and 30 to everything else. For “Popups without email marketing”, all 100 points go to the included capabilities and relevant popup pricing scenarios; unwanted features and email sending have zero weight. Both tools earn points for confirmed capabilities; unconfirmed ones earn zero. The first row keeps the original overall score.

## How the comparison works
These scores are relative to Adoric and Hello Bar in this comparison. They cannot be carried over to comparisons with other products: each tool’s points depend on what the other participant offers.
1. **Relative scores, not universal ratings.** The same capability earns half the points when both tools have it, and all the points when only one does. Changing the opponent can therefore change a product’s score without changing the product itself. The review pages separately show absolute capability ratings without price.
2. **One shared pool of 100 points.** The 15 rounds cover 196 criteria. Each round has a set weight, divided equally among its criteria. These weights are our editorial choices.
3. **How features earn points.** If both products meet a criterion, they split its points equally. If only one does, it earns all of them. An unconfirmed capability earns zero. If neither qualifies, those points are not awarded, so the two totals can add up to less than 100.
4. **How prices earn points.** Ten scenarios carry 1 point each. We use the cheapest confirmed plan meeting each scenario’s traffic and feature requirements, billed monthly in USD. Equal prices split the point; a plan costing half as much earns twice the share. A free qualifying plan beats a paid one. If only one suitable plan and price are confirmed, it earns the full point.
5. **Which plans count.** Feature rounds cover capabilities across the products’ plans. The total does not describe a single subscription; the pricing scenarios identify the plan needed for each stated use case.
6. **How your priorities change the score.** A tool must first meet the task’s required capabilities. If a requirement is absent or unconfirmed, its scenario score is shown as a dash and it cannot be the winner; the status explains why. Only qualifying tools participate in point allocation and price comparisons. A sole qualifying tool earns the full weight of each criterion it meets; criteria it does not meet remain unearned. Standard priorities assign 70 points to their relevant criteria and 30 to the rest, preserving relative weights within each group. “Popups without email marketing” instead distributes all 100 points among its included criteria, preserving their relative weights and giving everything else zero. It includes lead capture, testing, reporting and external handoff. Its pricing criteria exclude email sending and feedback workloads. Included email features carry no penalty: only the required plan price counts. The evidence and scoring rules stay the same. The overall-feature row keeps the original weights.
