Transparent & Trustworthy VWO Alternative

Why Do Ex-VWO Customers Choose Convert?

Fast-growing teams are switching to our clear, upfront plans that let them run advanced A/B tests without needing to purchase add-ons or extra modules.

Users say VWO bills them heavily

Blockquote Icon

I'm not a fan of how you have to buy multiple different products in order to get everything you need. For example, if you are looking for heatmaps, you will need to buy that on top of your A/B testing tier.

Verified VWO review from G2.com

VWO is Great, But Not A Budget-Friendly Option.

Make no mistake, VWO is a proven A/B testing tool. But for high-growth teams that value responsive front-line support, need flat-rate pricing, and want a suite of robust experimentation features they'll actually use, Convert is the obvious choice.

Easy but powerful A/B testing solution.

It is straightforward to use, has many functionalities, and has the correct pricing. The support is superb. We started using Convert as an alternative to Google Optimize and tested some other tools simultaneously. Overall, Convert is the best replacement for Google Optimize we can find.

Convert is Different: Here's Why

Affordable plans that let you decide monthly or yearly

Convert keeps things lean and flexible with monthly billing. No big upfront annual commitment is needed, unless you specifically choose our annual options. VWO offers its plans primarily in the annual payment mode.

Convert grows with you, not against you. At 100k visitors, Convert's Growth plan costs significantly less than VWO's. And it's not just at 100k—this pricing gap widens with traffic.

Incredibly quick tool providing tons of performance and flickerless A/B testing. More than twice cheaper than closest competitor, Convert offers better performance and more features.

Visitors are counted only once
––no matter what

Since we don't have a myriad of products & add-ons, we don't count the same visitor multiple times—just because you have used different features on them.

Due to its modules structure, this isn't possible in the VWO universe, causing your common quota of monthly tested users to drain faster than anticipated.

Monthly Tested Users Quota

Each visitor = 1 MTU, no matter the path.

A deal is a deal

At Convert, we don't go back on our word. That's why we won't force price upgrades or strip away features from your current plan, just because we introduced new pricing.

When you join us, you're not just a customer for this version of Convert—you're part of a relationship we're committed to honoring over time.

In fact, some of our very first customers are still with us, paying just $9 a month. And they still have what they signed up for!

Kier H Review

The ability to run multiple client accounts within one hob, under one fee, and the ease of developing and deploying within the tool. Also, the JS delivers loads that don't impact the experience, which is key. The tool is keenly priced in the industry as well. Where there used to be numerous tools available at this price range, most have moved to premium pricing. Convert stands out as the value option, but without cutting key features.

Convert's Green Impact: Not a Tool Looking for an Exit, We Are Here For The Generations

We light up dashboards and the planet green!

Through our initiative of 'Plans for the Plan-et'.

To get to the point where Convert donates 10% of its topline revenue, there were choices made & decisions taken. These decisions have proven beneficial for everyone in the story.

  • We wrangled growth bootstrapped! Our co-founders were adamant that they wanted to serve first, instead of expanding at all costs. A win-win outcome for Convert itself, the planet, and of course the Conscious Businesses who use our A/B testing tool.

  • It's become a trend to virtue-signal 'affordability' on social media, while gating prices. We can truly be the tool that offers enterprise-grade features (minus the enterprise-y red tape) at self-service pricing because we do not have to please the powers that be of funding money. It's our company and we have CHOSEN to prioritize robust experimentation for small to mid-sized enterprises. Without compromises. Because…

  • The more our customers thrive, the more tests inspire next actions or learning, the more our revenue increases. Convert gives away 10% of what it makes to TIST, 1% for the Planet, and Stripe Climate. We are also committed to staying Climate Neutral Certified.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Who uses Convert.com or Convert Experiences?

Convert.com or Convert Experiences is an A/B testing tool for marketing & growth teams that require deep personalization, split tests, multi-page tests (funnel tests) and quick results during seasonal campaigns (through the Multi-arm Bandit feature).

It combines the sophistication and statistical rigour of an experimentation platform with the zero-red tape and human-first, privacy-focused approach that lean teams trying to build a great brand value the most in their software.

Convert.com is also the preferred pick of CRO agencies and experts because it allows them to:

  • Run their entire business through one Convert account.
  • Create and use templates to replicate their workflows in their own projects and even in stand-alone client accounts.

Start small — at a flat price of $399/mo (billed monthly, no hidden fees). Easy to sell!

Allocate their account traffic, across clients, without hassles or complexities and get clear reports for both results-sharing and admin purposes.

How is Convert.com different from VWO?

Both Convert.com & VWO serve the A/B testing needs of optimizers, experimenters, and data-informed marketing & growth teams.

But there are distinct differences:

Convert.comVisual Website Optimizer (VWO)
Offers clear and transparent monthly as well as annual pricing.Though VWO’s prices are clearly mentioned, it predominantly offers annual plans displayed by monthly costs on their pricing page to assist browsers.
Allows both direct customers and agencies to purchase one account and add multiple projects (domains) to it.Agencies are required to obtain separate licenses for each domain or website they handle.
All-in-one plans. When you opt into Growth or Pro plans at Convert, you do not need to buy separate modules or add-ons to access critical features like advanced targeting & dynamic triggers. It is one plan and one interface for your entire conversion rate optimization or experimentation program.Stacking of add-ons & modules required for the complete arsenal that allows robust A/B testing & insights gathering.
Convert Signals (session recordings) only surfaces visitor sessions of interest. This means you get to see the interactions that indicate conversion roadblocks, not empty scrolling or sessions where everything went as intended.
We only store these flagged sessions for better privacy and intentional data collection.
VWO comes with traditional session recordings & heatmaps.
Expect to pay for all sessions across your website.
Convert isn’t for you if you want every buzzword feature under the sun!
We know who we serve and we have a strategic roadmap we follow to benefit marketing & growth teams, and experimentation agencies.
You can review it here
VWO has the most sprawling set of features on the market.
Since Convert doesn’t have extra modules or add-ons, each tested user is counted only once, no matter how many ‘features’ they pass through.If a visitor becomes a part of campaign(s) of different VWO products, VWO counts them as a separate tested user for each product.

Does Convert.com or Convert Experiences offer VWO migration?

Yes. Convert.com offers free VWO migration for existing VWO customers. This is part of our onboarding and is carried out by agencies with both VWO & Convert expertise.

How does Convert.com count tested users?

Tested users are the number of site visitors participating in A/B tests you have running on the Convert Experiences platform.

Let’s break down how we count users.

The people who come to your site are termed as your site visitors. Not all site visitors though are Convert app tested users.

Users are specifically the people who are bucketed into tests that you have running on your site. In counting users, we do one key thing. We disregard overlaps. So if there are 100,000 site visitors who see Test #1, and another 100,000 visitors who see Test #2… the total app tested users will be:

200,000 people if the two sample sizes (of 100,000 each) have no overlaps. That means no one person has seen both tests.

Less than 200,000 if the two sample sizes (of 100,000 each) have overlaps. If both sample sizes have 50,000 people who are unique to one test and 50,000 people who have seen both tests, then the tested users count will be 150,000.

Tested users count is thus the same as (or less than) your website’s total unique site visitors, depending on how you choose to bucket your visitors into tests.

This method of counting unique users replaces the older (pre April 2020) counting of unique tested visitors which took overlaps into consideration and gave a net tested visitors count based on all the visitors to each test.

If you use Convert.com, how likely are you to get a platform usage bill that’s higher than anticipated?

Never!

Here’s why.

  1. We honor legacy pricing. This means the base price of your plan will not change. No matter what.
  2. We do not offer extra add-ons or modules. This means the one plan price you see is what you pay for as long as you’re a customer and you do not explicitly request an upgrade.
  3. We do give you the ability to purchase more tested users. 100,000 tested users in the Growth plan cost $399. In the Pro & Enterprise plans, 250,000 tested users cost $699.

But:

  • You’re given ample notice about the consumption of your tested users quota. We send emails to keep you updated.
  • You can turn off automatic overuse. Just ask your account manager. However, this does result in tests being paused when you run out of your monthly quota. You have to manually purchase more tested users.
