Comparison
ExitPops vs Privy
Privy is built for Shopify email and SMS. ExitPops is a lightweight exit message for any site, paid once. Here is how they differ.
Privy is a strong pick if you run a Shopify store and you want email and SMS capture built into your popups. It lives inside the ecommerce world, plugs into your store, and gives you the list-building and flows that go with it.
ExitPops is not a store tool and not an email tool. It shows one message when a visitor is about to leave, on any site, and you pay for it once. If you want to hand a leaving shopper a coupon or send them to your best page without adding a subscription, that is the job it does.

Where Privy is the better choice
If you sell on Shopify and your plan is to build an email and SMS list and run flows off it, Privy is built for exactly that. The capture, the segments, and the messaging all sit in one place, tied to your store. For a store that runs on email and SMS, that is worth the monthly fee.
Where ExitPops is the better choice
A lot of stores do not want another list tool. They already have email handled, and they just want to stop losing the visit. Maybe you want to reveal a code before a shopper leaves, or point them at a bundle, or tell them shipping is free today.
ExitPops does that in three plain types: a coupon reveal they can copy in one tap, a button that sends them somewhere, or a short announcement. The script is tiny and loads after your store, so it does not drag on your speed or your Google scores, which matter for ranking and for ads.
It also handles phones, where most exit popups give up. Instead of guessing, ExitPops waits until a shopper has scrolled into the page, then catches the fast scroll back up that means they are leaving.
How to choose
Ask one question. Do you want this tool to collect and message contacts, or do you want it to keep a leaving visitor on task?
If you want capture and flows, Privy. If you want a light, one-time exit message that respects your page speed, ExitPops.
Frequently asked questions
Is ExitPops just for Shopify like Privy?
No. Privy is built around the Shopify and ecommerce ecosystem with email and SMS at its center. ExitPops works on any site, Shopify or not, and does not touch email or SMS at all.
Can ExitPops grow my email list the way Privy does?
No. If list and SMS growth inside one tool is the goal, Privy is the right fit. ExitPops shows a message, reveals a coupon, or sends a click. It is for keeping a leaving visitor on task, not for collecting contacts.
Which one is lighter on my store?
ExitPops is a few kilobytes with no email or SMS machinery behind it, so it stays out of the way of your load time and page scores. Privy carries more because it does more.
