I’ve been building landing pages on Instapage for my Shopify-focused store, and while I love their layout editor, the built-in popup tool feels really limited.
No advanced targeting, weak A/B testing, and only “on-click” triggers?? 
Not ideal.
So I started looking into Instapage popup alternatives that would give me more control—like teaser popups, scroll-based triggers, and multi-platform support. Anyone here using third-party tools like Popupsmart or Poptin for Instapage popups?
Would love to hear what worked best for you and how to integrate it properly.

Thanks so much for all the replies, everyone — seriously appreciate the insights! 
I didn’t realize how many people were running into the same limitations with Instapage’s built-in popups. The points about targeting depth, real A/B testing, and cross-platform flexibility were super helpful. I also didn’t know how easy it actually is to plug in a third-party tool and still keep everything looking native on the landing page.
Sounds like Popupsmart is the go-to for people who want more control (especially with scroll/triggers and teasers), and Poptin seems to come up mainly for quick setups.
Really helpful thread — learned a lot from your experiences!
