These two are not really competitors — they are two different answers to the question of who owns your email stack. SendWILL is a pop-up that hands addresses to whatever ESP you already pay for. Omnisend is an email and SMS platform where the pop-up is the front door. Running both is duplicated spend, and running Omnisend's pop-up alongside Klaviyo's flows is the specific mistake merchants make most often here.

AxisSendWILL Popup Email MarketingOmnisend Email Marketing & SMSWhy
If you already use Klaviyo Wins — SendWILL captures and hands off. Adding Omnisend on top means paying two platforms to do overlapping work.
If you have no ESP yet — Wins Omnisend gives you capture, flows, campaigns and SMS in one contract with nothing to integrate.
Cost predictability Wins — A pop-up app costs roughly the same next year. Platform pricing scales with contacts, which is exactly the thing you are trying to grow.
Review signal Wins — 7,400+ reviews at 4.9 versus 2,900+ at 4.8. Both are well established; SendWILL is the stronger signal for the narrower job.
SMS consent — Wins Capturing phone numbers with proper consent handling is a platform job. If SMS is part of the plan, that argues for Omnisend.
