Comparison · Privy alternative

A Privy alternative with AI chat, WhatsApp, and flat pricing.

Privy nailed the popup-and-email playbook for Shopify. RecartIQ takes the same playbook, adds AI chat and WhatsApp, runs on any platform, and prices it flat regardless of list size.

Flat $19/mo · no per-list-size pricing · no credit card required.

When merchants switch to RecartIQ

You want popups + AI chat + WhatsApp in one tool.

Privy does popups well. To add AI chat or WhatsApp, you'd stitch in Tidio + a separate WhatsApp tool, each with their own bill. RecartIQ ships all three under one $19/mo subscription.

Your store isn't on Shopify.

Privy's deepest integrations are with Shopify. RecartIQ works the same on WooCommerce, BigCommerce, Magento, custom React/Next.js, headless — anywhere a script tag loads. Auto-detects Shopify and Woo native events; falls back gracefully on the rest.

You want flat pricing as your list grows.

Privy's contact tiers add up fast. RecartIQ stays $19 or $49 regardless of how many visitors you track or emails you send (subject to your own SMTP / Resend limits, since you bring your own provider key).

You sell in INR or run in India.

RecartIQ has WhatsApp as a first-class channel and Razorpay-aware order detection on confirmation pages. Most US-built popup tools default to USD and email — both of which underperform for Indian DTC.

Try the popup tool that includes AI chat and WhatsApp.

One script, one subscription, every channel. 7-day free trial — no credit card.
