Privy alternative
A Privy alternative focused on onsite popups
Keep your email platform. Use Tafsee Popup for Arabic-ready popups, wheels and discount codes.
Privy is popular with Shopify merchants as a combined popup, email and SMS tool. Some stores want to separate those jobs: keep email in Klaviyo or Mailchimp, and use a dedicated onsite tool for popups — especially one that handles Arabic properly and sends leads to the CRM they already use. That's where Tafsee Popup fits.

What Privy is known for
Privy is well known among Shopify merchants. It combines onsite displays (popups, flyouts, bars, spin-to-win style campaigns) with email and SMS marketing, and focuses on small and growing online stores.
Its pricing and which channels each plan includes are on the Privy pricing page — check there for current details, as bundles and limits can change.
A popup tool that plays well with your stack
Tafsee Popup does one job — onsite conversion — and hands leads to the tools you already use.
- Your list stays yours. Leads are stored in Tafsee first, then delivered to Klaviyo, Mailchimp, HubSpot, Zoho CRM, Google Sheets, Zapier, Make, Slack or a webhook, with a delivery log and retries.
- WhatsApp numbers for the Gulf. Many shoppers in Saudi Arabia and the UAE would rather chat than open an email. Ask for a WhatsApp number in the form and send it to your CRM for follow-up.
- Arabic Shopify stores. If you run Shopify in Arabic, popups, forms and wheels render right-to-left without extra CSS.
- Offers that work. Discount-code popups, spin-to-win and cart-abandonment campaigns with 39 trigger and targeting rules.
- Not tied to Shopify. One script works on Shopify, WordPress, Webflow, Next.js, GTM or plain HTML — useful if you run more than one site.
When Privy may be the better fit
If you want popups, email campaigns and SMS in a single Shopify-centric subscription and don't need Arabic, Privy's all-in-one approach may be simpler. Tafsee Popup is the better fit when you already have an email platform, sell in Arabic, or want to collect WhatsApp numbers alongside emails.
How to switch from Privy to Tafsee Popup
Moving from Privy is mostly a matter of recreating the campaigns that actually earn their place. Most teams do it in an afternoon.
- Create a free Tafsee Popup account and add your site. The setup wizard scans your store and drafts three on-brand popups you can start from.
- Install the single Tafsee script — paste it into your theme, add it through Google Tag Manager, or follow the guide for Shopify, WordPress, Webflow, Next.js or plain HTML.
- Recreate your best-performing campaigns from one of 209 templates (including Arabic/RTL designs), or edit the wizard's drafts. There is no automatic importer, so start with the two or three campaigns that matter most.
- Reconnect your integrations — Mailchimp, Klaviyo, HubSpot, Zoho CRM, Zapier, Make, Slack, Google Sheets or webhooks — and use Send test lead to confirm each one receives data.
- If you want a side-by-side check, run both tools briefly on different pages. Then remove the Privy script so visitors never see two popups at once.
If a popup doesn't appear where you expect, the Why isn't my popup showing? diagnostics names the rule that is blocking it.
