What does Privy cost at 5,000 contacts?

Roughly $45–90/mo depending on whether SMS is included, up from around $30/mo for its 1,500-contact email and SMS plan, with popups sold on a separate $24/mo line if that is all you need. Spreeflo is $36/mo on Starter and $52 on Professional at 5,000 marketing contacts, with popups, browser push and per-recipient AI copy included on the Professional tier.

Does Privy have browser push or web analytics?

Neither — Privy covers popups, onsite capture, email and SMS, with no push channel and no site analytics dashboard beyond campaign and store reporting. Spreeflo includes a full web analytics dashboard and custom event tracking on its free plan, and browser push on the $24 Professional plan on the same contact record as email.

Attentive acquired Privy in 2021, and Privy itself acquired Sendlane in January 2026, so it now sits inside a consolidating group of ecommerce messaging tools. Spreeflo is independently operated with published pricing, monthly billing and no minimum term, so there is no contract exposure if product direction or pricing shifts.

Can I replace Privy’s popups with Spreeflo?

For straightforward capture yes — Spreeflo includes popup forms on the $24 Professional plan, sharing the same builder and response handling as inline forms, with submissions firing journey triggers directly. Privy’s display targeting is deeper, particularly exit intent, cart-value rules and gamified formats, so a store whose growth depends on aggressive onsite capture gets more from it.

Should you choose Spreeflo or Privy?

Privy is a capture tool first. Its popup targeting is deep — exit intent, cart value, geography, device, gamified spin-to-win — and it installs on Shopify in minutes with support that gives actual marketing advice rather than reciting documentation. For a small store whose problem is that nobody joins the list, that focus is the product.

What follows the signup is thin. Flows cover welcome, cart abandonment and post-purchase without a journey builder or branching, email segmentation is shallow, reporting is limited, and templates are restrictive. There is no browser push, no web analytics, no transactional email and no MCP server, and prices climb as the list grows.

Popups are one Professional-plan feature in Spreeflo rather than its whole product, and Privy’s display targeting is genuinely deeper. What Spreeflo puts behind the capture is the difference: branching journeys on custom events, unlimited nested segmentation, browser push, transactional email, web analytics, custom objects, revenue attribution and per-recipient AI copy, at $16 to $52 a month.

What Spreeflo is

Spreeflo is an AI-powered marketing automation platform for founders and small teams — email, browser push notifications, forms and web analytics on one contact record, from $16/mo ($13 billed annually). Its AI writes per-recipient personalization at send time, an in-app AI assistant builds automations from plain language, and a hosted MCP server lets Claude, Claude Code or Cursor operate the whole workspace — while sends, publishes and deletes always require a person.

Founder-led businesses, one workspace. Sends, publishes and deletes always require a person — including when an AI agent is doing the building.

What Privy is

Privy grows email and SMS lists for small Shopify stores through popups, spin-to-win wheels and onsite capture with detailed display rules, then sends basic ecommerce flows — welcome, cart abandonment and post-purchase — plus campaigns. Email and SMS start around $30/mo for roughly 1,500 contacts, with a popups-only plan from $24/mo.

Founded 2011. Acquired by Attentive in 2021. Acquired Sendlane in January 2026.

Where Spreeflo and Privy differ

The two tools are built around different assumptions, so some of what Privy covers has no Spreeflo equivalent. Here is exactly what that is, who it actually matters for, and what Spreeflo does in its place.

Deeper popup display targeting

Exit intent, cart value, geography, device and gamified spin-to-win, refined over a decade. Spreeflo has popup forms on its $24 Professional plan with simpler display rules.

SMS

Text messaging alongside email for list growth and recovery. Spreeflo has no SMS, and its browser push carries no per-message cost.

Shopify-native onboarding

Installs and starts capturing in minutes on a Shopify store. Spreeflo installs a JavaScript snippet and takes store data as custom events, which is more setup and works on any platform.

Coaching-style support

Support that offers marketing advice rather than only troubleshooting. Spreeflo answers that need with an in-app AI assistant that builds the campaign, segment or form for you.

Where Spreeflo comes out ahead of Privy

19 of 26 scored rows go Spreeflo’s way — for these reasons:

Privy is a capture product with messaging attached, and its popup targeting genuinely beats Spreeflo’s. Everything after the signup runs the other way, and mostly by absence: prebuilt flows without a branching builder, shallow email segmentation, no custom events, no transactional email, no browser push, no web analytics, no custom objects and no MCP server. Pricing also climbs faster — roughly $45–90/mo at 5,000 contacts against $36 to $52 — with no free plan underneath. One thing worth knowing for context: Privy is owned by Attentive and acquired Sendlane in January 2026, so it sits inside a consolidating group.

Spreeflo is a marketing automation platform rather than a CRM, a page builder or an SMS gateway. The comparison above marks every row where that shows — nothing is hidden in a footnote.
