Additional Details1. Annual contract or monthly payments available (40% discount for annual pricing). 2. Pricing is not feature dependent. Some features like integrations, goals, Live Logs are necessary to test successfully. This is why Convert caps by unique tested users - basically visitors who have been bucketed to see a variation and are unique to that variation. As a result the app tested users are always </= the site's net traffic.

Chose Bannersnack
In my opinion Canva > Bannersnack as of 2023. The features in BannerSnack are very similar to Canva, but long term they appear to be shutting down BannerSnack entirely.
Convert Experiences
Chose Convert Experiences
Three words: value for money. In a due diligence comparison, Convert Experiences came up more than twice less expensive than the nearest competitor, while offering more product features, better performance and a quick response time with support/sales agents that actually …
Chose Convert Experiences
Convert Experiences sits in a niche of great products, against which it competes very well and remains held in high regard as it achieves pretty much everything that the bigger platforms put on the table but in a more cost-effective model. The reason we initially chose …
Chose Convert Experiences
Convert has the best JS code editor for advanced users (and developers). It doesn't have as great integration with GA as Google Optimize, but it also doesn't have a limit to 5 tests at one time. It's also much easier to use than Optimizely.
Chose Convert Experiences
Although not as robust as Adobe Target, Convert fills the niche with solid functionality at a great price. Comparable to Optimizely and far above Google Optimize.
Chose Convert Experiences
Although VWO is slightly cheaper it flickers quite a bit, hence why I originally looked into alternative software to use for A/B testing. VWO also has other features that could be useful, but they can be found in tools you may already be using, like Hotjar. Also, their support …
Chose Convert Experiences
Convert Experiences has a better UI, better reporting and is a faster platform.
Chose Convert Experiences
Convert was selected based on price point, feature set, and UI/UX. All three are very friendly to new testers and small to mid-market size companies. Their UI and tool workflow is the best out of all of the non-enterprise solutions that I have tried. There is some small room …
Chose Convert Experiences
There were a number of other tools I used. Specifically though: they expose the DMP features that some other companies price into oblivion and enterprise levels (if the other tools have them at all!)

I feel like I've gushed a lot about the DMP and power user features of Convert …
Chose Convert Experiences
Convert is better vs. Optimizely and VWO for the following reasons:
  • Better pricing
  • Faster App - easier and quicker to create tests, less clunky but just as powerful as the others
Chose Convert Experiences
The biggest point for Convert Experiences is definitely the price and the completeness of their packages. Their Magento plugin makes it great for running tests on ecommerce stores. One thing that's missing for me is deeper insights into revenue (something optimizely does …
Chose Convert Experiences
Convert works similar to Optimizely, but at a more competitive rate.
Chose Convert Experiences
Visual Website Optimizer's feature set is not as well suited to advanced experiments (it doesn't seem to allow direct editing of variation code). Optimizely is expensive and their agency plan requires a 12 month minimum contract. Support is not as great. Optimizely also does …
Chose Convert Experiences
While Optimizely is an amazing A/B testing tool, Convert has almost the exact same offerings but at a much lower cost. The customer and technical support are excellent as well, and Dennis's insights and strategy calls are very helpful.
Chose Convert Experiences
Visual Website Optimizer costs too much and misses a lot of transactions due to third-party cookies. Optimizely flat out refused to support Shopify. They withdrew their app from the marketplace in 2014.

As on 2023, from my experience I do not recommend BannerSnack at all. They are sunsetting BannerSnack in favor of a new tool that does not meet my needs.
Read full review
Definitely well suited for budget conscious companies that want a solid array of functionality but without having to pay an exorbitant amount. Great for marketing and analytics team members that need the ability to get in and set up tests w/o dev assistance. But, functionality is there for developers to get in and set up more complicated tests.

Pros
  • Managing brand assets
  • Animated banners
  • Predesigned templates
Read full review
  • The platform is good value for money, comparing its features and prices to some of the bigger players.
  • The tool is very flexible and can be used for simpler tests right through to much more challenging and rewarding testing but does require a more thorough knowledge of the platform.
  • Their support team is always available and always responsive, not resting until resolutions are met.

Cons
  • Forget Creatopy! I still don't understand why Bannersnack is being sunset
  • More animation templates
  • Easier to share previews in html5

  • The only thing I'm really missing is segmentation during or after testing of the results by device, new users etc., within the results page. Targeting of users based on segments is obviously possible.
  • There are a few inconsistencies in their user interface that I would have liked to see differently. This could be personal taste though.

To use the platform in the context of developing enhanced tests that stretch the platform there is as with most things a learning curve. However, if you're a casual user or have standard experiments that you wish to run you would be easily able to hit the ground running.

Their UI and tool workflow is the best out of all of the non-enterprise solutions that I have tried. There is some small room for improvement, but that only really affects power users or tests that require significant coding/development work to execute.

Return on Investment
  • Ease of use makes it possible for non-designers to create banner ads
  • Speed of modifying templates to my use case = savings!
Read full review
  • Using Convert has allowed us to make quick decisions on site edits and price changes. Seeing and sharing quick results makes our operations much more profitable.
  • Connecting the tests with Shopify has produced very valuable and timely results that we can act upon as soon as we see statistically significant results.
