WooHoo vs SmashPops.
A signup experiment or a seasonal game?

The gallery includes fullscreen campaigns, slide-ins and bars. The editor offers separate desktop and mobile design views and a teaser that can reopen the form. A teaser invites the visitor back to the game, and a reminder bar can keep the reward visible afterwards. They serve different moments in the same promotion.

Try the WooHoo sequence with a shopper willing to share email but unwilling to give a number. In SmashPops try the same address in two games. Each trial reveals a different potential loss of subscribers or prizes. Email Capture, Phone Capture and Coupon Reveal are separate steps in the multi-step template. Check which step records consent if a shopper leaves before the reward screen. The scratch template asks for a name and email. The data-collection panel controls whether the same email can enter again in one game or across all games.

A product quiz can ask about preferences and lead to a recommendation. Match the questions and result to the merchandise before budgeting for a research survey. Players reveal offers rather than report satisfaction. A prize choice should only enter customer research as a preference when the visitor actually answered a preference question.

SmashPops has a claw and slot machine as well as a wheel. Choose the second mechanic before buying. If a wheel is sufficient, compare how a losing visitor exits and what an interrupted player sees on return. The wheel supports weighted prizes. Scratch and gift campaigns offer other ways to reveal an incentive inside the popup workflow. The gallery offers wheel, scratch ticket, gift, slot machine, Card Dance and claw formats. In the scratch editor the prize table shows both the assigned weight and the resulting percentage.

A merchant can select product, collection, cart and search pages or enter a URL pattern. Timing options include scroll depth, elapsed time, exit intent and inactivity. Campaigns can include or exclude URL paths, distinguish devices and referrers, and use a delay, scroll depth or exit. Redisplay and repeat prize eligibility have separate settings.

WooHoo can create a second campaign from the first and compare form submissions. Two SmashPops games with separate totals need a way to assign comparable audiences before those totals can support a winner. We created a draft experiment on Free by duplicating the control. The challenger has its own coupon codes. A published challenger is required to start collecting results. The vendor describes an alternative to native A/B testing. Separate game reports alone do not demonstrate random allocation of visitors.

WooHoo lists native email campaigns and offers a reward-email action. Price the actual sending workload separately from the popup visitor allowance. Link a game to an email provider and map the reward code if that provider will send the prize. The game can also reveal the code on its win screen.

The Shopify dashboard organizes campaigns for the connected store. A buyer sharing access with an agency should establish site boundaries and publishing rights before onboarding clients. Exporting a game to another account can help an agency reuse a design. Check separately how a client accesses player data and who may change live rewards.

A campaign can send a submission to a webhook URL. WooHoo also advertises a storefront JavaScript interface. Neither establishes account-wide campaign authoring through HTTP. A game can call a JavaScript function defined on the host site when somebody wins. This gives analytics a signal without requiring the developer to infer a win from a pageview.

The editor provides a chat entry and the pricing page lists email support. Test setup assistance early if an experiment must launch during a short promotion. Setup guides cover display rules, coupon generation and email-provider handoff. Support is accessible from the game dashboard.

A merchant can save a draft, preview it and prepare a challenger without exposing either to shoppers. Changes to a live variant need coordination with the person reading the results. Save a game without activating it. The editor separates its play screen, win screen, teaser, reward settings and subscriber destinations.

The reporting workflow separates subscribers and revenue. Choose the success metric before the split so a version that recruits more addresses can be judged against the business goal. The dashboard separates displays, collected emails, conversion rate and sales from coupons. In our test the same address tried twice and the game recorded one email.

The editor offers destinations for Shopify Customers, Mailchimp, Klaviyo, Omnisend, ActiveCampaign and Campaign Monitor. Decide whether WooHoo or the receiving provider sends the prize. A saved provider connection is linked to each game. Omnisend can receive a game tag and distinct properties for the code and its name. Shopify Customers can be removed separately.

The Shopify app supports a theme extension and a customer-list destination. A coupon reveal screen alone does not establish automatic application to the cart. Games can reveal existing Shopify codes or generate new ones. In our storefront test the scratch card revealed the configured test code and refused the same email on a second entry.

WooHoo Basic counts up to 2,000 eligible visitors. SmashPops Basic counts 5,000 popup displays. A long sale with many repeat visits gives those two allowances quite different meanings. Free includes 500 monthly eligible visitors and A/B testing. Basic is $7.99 for 2,000 visitors on monthly billing. Several pageviews from the same visitor need not mean several visitors. Free includes 100 monthly displays. Basic costs $9 for 5,000. A busy game shown repeatedly can consume more displays than the number of people who play.
