How Much Does Hello Bar Cost?
The real price of the popup and capture-bar tool, plan by plan, no surprises.
Short answer: Hello Bar has a free plan (around 5,000 popup views, with Hello Bar branding), then paid plans from $29/month on Growth with annual billing (about $39 monthly). The price tracks the number of popup views per month, so your traffic, not your contact count. Popups, subscribers and A/B testing are unlimited on every paid plan. We walk through each plan, what pushes the bill up, and what you actually pay for your site.

Hello Bar, the key numbers
What each Hello Bar plan costs
Here are the four plans, from free to Elite. The price depends on one thing: the number of popup views per month, meaning your traffic. Popups, subscribers and A/B tests are unlimited from the Growth plan up. Hello Bar branding is also removed from Growth, at no extra cost. Prices shown are annual, the lowest; monthly billing runs roughly 25 to 30% higher.

Prices checked June 2026 against Hello Bar's official documentation and cross-referenced across several sources. The hellobar.com/pricing page blocks automated access, so confirm the exact price on the official page before paying. The free plan's quota (~5,000 views) is often described as a lifetime cap rather than a monthly allowance, to be confirmed with Hello Bar.
Hello Bar is billed by traffic
Good news: Hello Bar does not stack modules. One thing drives the price, your popup view volume. Here are the real cost levers, and the ones that are not.
Popup views (traffic)
This is the only real lever. Moving from 50,000 (Growth) to 150,000 (Premium) then 500,000 views per month (Elite) raises the bill. You pay for traffic, not contacts or seats. Past your quota, popups can stop showing until you upgrade.
Branding removal
The "Powered by Hello Bar" badge is required on the free plan. It is removed from the Growth plan ($29), with no separate add-on. It is included, not a surcharge, unlike several rivals that bill branding removal on its own.
Premium integrations (CRM)
The advanced connectors (HubSpot, Salesforce, Marketo, Intercom, Iterable, Infusionsoft, webhooks) are reserved for the Elite plan ($99). If you push leads into a heavy CRM, that is the tier you need, regardless of your traffic.
Seats and team
Unlimited seats arrive on Elite. On lower tiers, team access is more restricted. There is no per-view overage billing past your quota: you move up a tier, so the model stays easy to forecast.
- Starting with little traffic? The free plan can be enough to test.
- Want the branding gone? The Growth plan ($29) does it, no add-on.
- Going past 50,000 views/month? Plan for Premium ($49).
- Pushing leads into HubSpot or Salesforce? That means Elite ($99).
- A/B testing and unlimited subscribers: included from Growth, no surcharge.
How we size the real cost
Hello Bar's price depends on one variable: the number of popup views per month, meaning your traffic. To size the real cost, we think in monthly views shown = relevant visitors × popup display rate, on annual billing, then add the integration tier if you need a CRM.

Hello Bar's price versus the alternatives
Hello Bar's entry plan against the other popup tools. Each one bills differently: by views, by impressions or by visitors. Here is how the entry prices line up.
Entry prices checked June 2026. Different billing models.
Hello Bar
Billed by popup views
- Free plan (~5,000 views, branded)
- Branding removed on the first paid plan
- Unlimited popups and subscribers
OptinMonster
Billed by impressions
- No free plan
- Caps the number of sites (1 to 5)
- Cheaper entry, more limited
Poptin
Billed by visitors
- Free plan (1,000 visitors/month)
- 1 domain on the free plan
- Branding on the free plan
Entry prices checked June 2026 on the official pages. OptinMonster is the cheapest at entry (~$9) but bills by impressions and caps the number of sites per plan. Poptin offers a genuinely usable free plan (1,000 visitors). Hello Bar stands out by removing branding from $29 and keeping popups and subscribers unlimited. Sumo, another rival, starts higher (around $39/month).
So, is Hello Bar expensive?
Our take after testing it: the pricing is readable and the model is simple, but it depends on your traffic and your integration needs. Here is when it pays off, and how to pay less.
Good value if…
You run a converting site with moderate traffic and want a no-fuss tool. At $29/month, Growth removes branding, unlocks A/B testing and keeps popups and subscribers unlimited. For a site under 50,000 popup views, that is a competitive rate against OptinMonster or Sumo.
Less appealing if…
You have very little traffic, or you need CRM integrations from day one. The free plan is limited (~5,000 views, branded), and the HubSpot or Salesforce connectors only unlock at $99 (Elite). In that case, a tool like OptinMonster at ~$9 can be enough if you accept its site limits.
The verdict
Hello Bar is a solid capture tool at a fair price, as long as you reason by your traffic. Start on the free plan to validate, move to Growth as soon as you want the branding gone, and only climb to Elite if you truly need the premium CRM integrations.
- Pay annually: roughly two months free versus monthly billing.
- Start on the free plan to validate the tool on your site.
- Move to Growth as soon as the Hello Bar branding bothers you.
- Use the 14-day trial on paid plans before committing.
- Only climb to Elite if you need HubSpot, Salesforce or Marketo.
Frequently asked questions about Hello Bar pricing
How much does Hello Bar cost per month?
Hello Bar starts at $29/month on the Growth plan with annual billing, or about $39/month if you pay monthly. Premium moves up to $49/month (~$69 monthly) and Elite to $99/month (~$129 monthly), still annual. The price tracks the number of popup views per month, meaning your traffic, not your contact count. There is also a free plan capped at roughly 5,000 popup views, with Hello Bar branding required. The smart move is to start on the plan that matches your real traffic and only move up if you exceed the quota.Does Hello Bar have a free plan?
Yes, Hello Bar offers a free plan called Starter. It lets you build popups and bars, but it is capped at roughly 5,000 popup views and requires the "Powered by Hello Bar" branding. Advanced targeting and A/B testing are not included at this level. It is enough to test the tool on a small site or validate an email capture idea, but limited for a site that genuinely converts. Paid plans add a 14-day free trial so you can go further with no immediate commitment.How does Hello Bar bill its price?
Hello Bar bills by the volume of popup views per month, meaning your traffic, not your number of contacts or seats. In practice, the Growth plan covers 50,000 views per month, Premium 150,000 and Elite 500,000. Your subscribers, popups and A/B tests stay unlimited on every paid tier. It is a model that is easy to forecast: as long as your traffic stays under the quota, your bill does not move. If you exceed it, you move up a tier, with no per-view overage charge.How do I remove Hello Bar branding?
The "Powered by Hello Bar" branding is required on the free Starter plan and cannot be removed at that level. It disappears from the Growth plan, at $29/month annually, and stays absent on Premium and Elite. It is included in the plan price, not an add-on billed separately, unlike several rivals that charge for branding removal on its own. If your site's image matters, the math is simple: move to the Growth plan and the "Powered by Hello Bar" badge is gone, with no extra option.What is the difference between Hello Bar plans?
The main difference between plans comes down to the volume of popup views per month. The free Starter plan covers about 5,000 views with branding. Growth, at $29/month, climbs to 50,000 views, removes branding and unlocks A/B testing and advanced targeting. Premium, at $49/month, moves to 150,000 views and adds unlimited in-app chat support. Elite, at $99/month, covers 500,000 views, unlocks premium CRM integrations (HubSpot, Salesforce, Marketo) and adds unlimited seats. So plan choice mostly depends on your traffic, then on your integration needs.Is there a discount for paying Hello Bar annually?
Yes. Annual billing saves roughly two months versus paying monthly, around 17% across all tiers. For example, the Growth plan runs $29/month annually against about $39/month monthly, and Elite $99/month annually against about $129 monthly. That is the main way to pay Hello Bar less. Be wary of third-party promo codes floating around: the reliable lever is the annual commitment, combined with picking the tier closest to your real traffic.Is Hello Bar cheaper than OptinMonster or Poptin?
It depends on the model. OptinMonster is the cheapest at entry, around $9/month annually, but it bills by campaign impressions and caps the number of sites per plan, with no free plan. Poptin offers a genuinely usable free plan (1,000 visitors per month) then starts at $25/month. Hello Bar, at $29/month, is slightly pricier at entry than those two, but it removes branding on the first paid plan and keeps popups and subscribers unlimited. Sumo, another alternative, starts higher, around $39/month.How much does Hello Bar cost for a high-traffic site?
For a high-traffic site, the price depends on your popup view volume. Around 150,000 views per month, that is the Premium plan at $49/month annually. For 500,000 views, or if you need premium CRM integrations like HubSpot, Salesforce or Marketo, that is the Elite plan at $99/month, which also includes unlimited seats. The good news: Hello Bar bills by traffic, not by contact, so a large subscriber base does not push the bill up as long as your traffic stays within the tier. If you exceed 500,000 views, contact Hello Bar for a custom volume.Are CRM integrations included in Hello Bar's price?
Not on every plan. Basic email integrations are available earlier, but the premium connectors to heavy CRMs (HubSpot, Salesforce, Marketo, Intercom, Iterable, Infusionsoft, plus webhooks) are reserved for the Elite plan, at $99/month annually. If pushing leads into a CRM is central to your setup, that is the tier to target, regardless of your traffic. Otherwise, the Growth and Premium plans are enough to capture emails and export them to the more common marketing tools.Can I cancel Hello Bar easily?
Yes, the subscription is managed from your account and cancels with no long commitment on monthly plans. On annual billing you pay the year up front, so cancellation takes effect at the end of the current period rather than immediately. Before closing your account, remember to export your subscribers and stats, and remove the Hello Bar script from your site so you do not leave orphaned popups. The free plan stays available if you want to keep a simple bar without paying after testing the paid features.
