Who said you have to go through sales reps to find out the price of A/B testing solutions? Not knowing how you can allocate your testing budget till the last minute is an inconvenience. At Convert all our general plans are wide open for your perusal. Pick the one you like, do a free trial (or not) and get started with boosting your conversion rates.
We offer unlimited phone, email and chat support with every plan. Zendesk numbers put us as 4X faster and more responsive than our competitors.
We are proudly GDPR compliant. We are also Privacy Shield Certified and in alignment with emerging ePrivacy mandates. Use our tool to test without data worries and without asking for consent.
Convert Experiments is a fantastic tool that should be considered and evaluated by any CRO agency or end-user client that also evaluates Optimizely and VWO.

via CXLConvert provides great support for those starting out with CRO, all the way to companies running multiple teams spread across the world.
You can expect fast 24/7 responses to the questions you and your team might have and their integration with Google Analytics allows you to do your analysis the way you want and combine it with all the other data you already have in GA. The value you get for the price is unlike any other in this industry.

I appreciated the transparency in pricing and the free trial. Having looked into a few similar solutions, it took weeks of back and forth with demos, multiple phone calls, etc. before the other companies would finally quote me a price. In the end, the other solutions were 2-3X the cost and required 12-month commitment. Convert publishes their pricing, let's you run through the entire interface with the free trial and offers month-to-month subscriptions.

Either your A/B testing tool blinks. Or it doesn’t. There are no ifs and buts here. Convert Experiences uses a patent pending technology SmartInsert™ Protection to prevent blinkage for good.
You get 90 plus out of the box integrations to cover every conceivable optimization requirement. And we add relevant software options to this list every quarter. Result altering insights are just a click away!
Convert Experiences has supported 40 billion tests and personalizations for 5000+ sites. And we’re still here. You can now partner with a conscious business that knows the industry and pivots to protect your testing efforts.
We rank better than Google Optimize for several critical factors like
- “Quality of Support”, “Ease of Doing Business” and “A/B Testing”.
Some of the best CRO agencies in the world work with Convert Experiences. We have collaborated with Conversion Rate Experts, Conversion Fanatics, Tinuiti, and JourneyFurther.
But we understand that making the shift from free needs a bit of persuasion.
Your clients can now enjoy a higher test velocity in their program. Timely support makes a big difference. And we do not keep you tied up in tickets. With us all your time is billed to get them conversion lifts.
While nothing has the appeal of a free A/B testing tool, our pricing is transparent, and our plans start at $699 per month. It’s an affordable shift for a much better feature set and blazing fast support.
With the Google Page Experience update looming large, flickering is not acceptable. Convert Experiences is one of the fastest, flicker-free tools in the market. SEO & CRO do play nice together.
We have migrated, all the customers we initially planned to migrate (two of them). Thanks to the no-limits on Convert compared to Google Optimize. If it was not for Convert we would not have been able to retain those customers.
Does Google Optimize Offer Server-Side Options?
Yes. Google Optimize offers a server-side experimentation option.
What Does Google Optimize 360 Cost?
Google Optimize 360 is described as a “premium A/B testing solution”.
Pricing information across sources is quite contradictory. But it may be anywhere between a 100k USD per year and 150k USD per year.
How to Find a Google Optimize Alternative?
Want more? We’ve written a blog walking you through the process of purchasing an A/B testing tool alternative.
Is Google Optimize Good?
Google Optimize is by Google.
It does a good job of introducing A/B testing to marketers and brands. Plus, the integration with Google Analytics understandably is far superior than other solutions out there.
Google Optimize scores an 8.7 out of 10 when it comes to the factor of Ease of Use. According to G2Crowd, this number is 8.5 as an average across A/B testing tools.
It scores 4.6 out of 10 for Support, in comparison to the industry average of 9.
And lastly, it scores 8.2 for Ease of Set-Up, while other A/B testing solutions score an 8.5.
Is Google Optimize Free?
Yes.
There is a completely free-to-use version of Google Optimize for brands and testers just getting started. However, keep in mind that Google Optimize also has a premium version of its product, Optimize 360.
The free version of Google Optimize is not meant to be your forever testing platform. It has several in-built restrictions that keep optimizers from scaling with the tool.
Most CRO agencies use Optimize to prove the worth of A/B testing, before onboarding clients to other, more robust optimization solutions that serve their diverse testing needs.
