A Wheelio alternative with six games and a free plan

Wheelio describes itself as the first gamified pop-up and says it has been on the market since 2017. It offers three games: Wheelio (a wheel of fortune), Rollie (a slot machine) and Scratchy (a scratch card). The Shopify App Store listing says all plans have unlimited features, so nothing is held back for a higher tier.

Its strength is how far it reaches into Shopify. According to their site, Dynamic Coupons creates a discount for each unique visitor and tracks the resulting sales, and coupon injection applies the discount directly in the Shopify checkout. The site also lists email validation and duplicate prevention, and 39 integrations, including Klaviyo, Postscript, SMSBump, Recart and PushOwl, for collecting email, SMS, Messenger and push opt-ins.

Wheelio is offered as a Shopify app, with a separate registration link on its site for other platforms. The Shopify listing gives the app's language as English. We found no statement about Arabic or right-to-left wheels, so check with them if that matters.

At the time of review, Wheelio pricing is set by monthly impressions. Their site lists six monthly tiers:

• Beginner: $14.92, up to 30,000 impressions.
• Level 1: $29.92, up to 60,000 impressions.
• Level 2: $54.92, up to 100,000 impressions.
• Level 3: $109.92, up to 250,000 impressions.
• Level 4: $192.92, up to 500,000 impressions.
• The Big Guns: $249.92, up to 750,000 impressions.

The first four tiers also appear on the Shopify App Store listing, which describes pricing as based on actual usage. There is a 7-day free trial. We found no free plan on either page.

Tafsee Popup pricing

Tafsee Popup plans are priced by sites, live campaigns and leads stored per month. Visitors and pageviews are not counted, and reaching a limit does not switch your live popups off.

• Free: $0. 1 site, 3 live campaigns, 500 leads a month, with a small Tafsee badge.
• Starter: $9/month, or $84 billed yearly. 1 site, 10 live campaigns, 2,000 leads a month, no badge.
• Growth: $19/month, or $180 billed yearly. 3 sites, 15 live campaigns, 5,000 leads a month, A/B testing.
• Pro: $49/month, or $468 billed yearly. 10 sites, unlimited live campaigns, 25,000 leads a month, HubSpot and Zoho CRM.
• Business: $99/month, or $948 billed yearly. Unlimited sites, campaigns and leads, priority support.

Paid plans come with a 14-day trial. Full details are on the Tafsee Popup pricing page. The practical difference: with impression pricing a wheel shown to every visitor gets more expensive as traffic grows, whether or not people sign up. With Tafsee Popup the cost follows leads stored and the number of live campaigns.

The Wheelio figures above were read on their own public pages on 13 October 2026. Prices and limits change, so confirm them on their site before you decide. If something here is out of date, tell us and we will correct it.

More ways to play

Wheelio has a wheel, a slot machine and a scratch card. Tafsee Popup has those three plus pick a gift (three gift boxes), mystery box (one box that shakes, then opens) and a quick quiz of two to four questions that ends in a result and a code. Rotating formats matters, because returning shoppers stop noticing the same wheel. The spin-to-win page explains how to set prizes, and you can try a wheel without signing up in the spin the wheel tool.

Not every visitor should get a game

A wheel suits a first visit or a seasonal sale. It is a poor fit for a shopper on the checkout page or a reader on a policy page. In Tafsee Popup the same account runs a quiet floating bar, an exit-intent popup on the cart, and a game only where it belongs, with 39 display rules to keep them apart.

Stores outside Shopify

Tafsee Popup installs with one snippet on any site and has guides for Salla, Zid, Shopify and WordPress. There is no app to install from a marketplace.

How codes work, honestly

Tafsee Popup shows the prize code; it does not create coupons in your store. You can use one shared code, a unique code per visitor, or upload a list of codes you generated in your store so each visitor gets the next one. Your store must accept the code at checkout. Wheelio's Shopify integration creates the discount and applies it in checkout for you, which is less work on Shopify.

Wheelio is the better choice for a Shopify store that wants the coupon side handled automatically. It creates a discount per visitor, applies it in the Shopify checkout and tracks the sales that follow. Tafsee Popup does none of that inside Shopify: you create the codes and upload them.

It is also stronger if you collect SMS, push or Messenger opt-ins through tools such as Postscript, SMSBump, PushOwl or Recart, which Tafsee Popup does not connect to directly, or if you want an app installed and billed through Shopify. And if all you want is a wheel on an English-language Shopify store, a tool that does only that is a reasonable thing to pick.

There is no automatic importer, so moving from Wheelio means rebuilding the campaigns that earn their place. For most stores that is two or three popups, not twenty.

1. Create a free Tafsee Popup account and add your site.
2. Paste the Tafsee snippet into your site's header, or add it through Google Tag Manager. There is no plugin or store app to install.
3. Rebuild your best campaigns from the template library, and set when each one shows.
4. Connect where leads should go: Mailchimp, Klaviyo, Google Sheets, Slack, Zapier, Make or a webhook, and HubSpot or Zoho CRM on the Pro plan.
5. Export your existing contacts from Wheelio before you cancel, then remove its script or app so visitors never see two popups at once.

On Shopify, generate a batch of discount codes in your admin before you switch and upload them as a list, so each winner still receives a code that works at checkout.
