Considered Both Products	Convert Experiences Aleksander Lach Conversion Rate Optimization Specialist 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 … Incentivized Helpful? Jörg Dennis Krüger CEO (Chief Executive Officer) Chose Convert Experiences Excellent value for the price. Straightforward to use. Very reliable. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous 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 … Incentivized Helpful? Art Bukowski CRO, UX and GA specialist 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. Incentivized Helpful? Kamila Philip President Chose Convert Experiences Optimizely and Google Optimize Incentivized Helpful? Abby Reddy, CLU Co-Founder and CMO Chose Convert Experiences Convert is considerably more robust and stable. Incentivized Helpful? Scot Chandler Senior Consultant 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. Incentivized Helpful? LP Lee Preston CRO Consultant 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 … Incentivized Helpful? Dan Procter Managing Director Chose Convert Experiences Convert Experiences has a better UI, better reporting and is a faster platform. Incentivized Helpful? Matt Beischel Founder & CEO 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 … Incentivized Helpful? Ken Hanson Growth Lead 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 … Incentivized Helpful? Lukas B. Snelling Founder & President 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 Incentivized Helpful? Auke Vos Owner 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 … Incentivized Helpful? David Fein Community/UX Strategist Chose Convert Experiences Convert works similar to Optimizely, but at a more competitive rate. Incentivized Helpful? Francis Teo Founder and eCommerce Conversions Strategist 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 … Incentivized Helpful? Kaitlyn Greene Optimization Specialist & Website Manager 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. Incentivized Helpful? Joshua Uebergang Head of Strategy Chose Convert Experiences Visual Website Optimizer costs too much and misses a lot of transactions due to third-party cookies.

Jeff Smith Owner Principal Chose GTmetrix Compared to the products I have listed PageSpeed Insights is probably the closest to what GTMetrix does and many times those 2 tabs are open side by side.

Sanjit Mandal Digital Marketing Strategist Chose GTmetrix The data visualization aspect of GTmetrix is better than the competition. It uses letters A, B, and C to help rate speed and performance.

Carlos Eduardo de Souza Co-founder & Manager Chose GTmetrix GTmetrix gathers data from both Google PageSpeed and YSlow at same time, so we're using it more often than Google's alternative.

User Testimonials
	Convert Experiences	GTmetrix
Likelihood to Recommend	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. Scot Chandler Senior Consultant Read full review	GTmetrix is very well suited for small organizations or startups that do not have sufficient technical staff for site optimization. GTmetrix also comes with the free version, which allows users to use their service for free for up to three websites, which is a good option. However, this might not be the best option for a large organization that works in different technical domains and have a good number of technical staff. Incentivized RK Rahul Kumar Senior Executive Read full review
Pros	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. Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Really complete report of performance issues. Get reports from PageSpeed and YSlow at same time. Gives a score from each separate tool, also displays loading time, page size and total requests very easily. Incentivized Carlos Eduardo de Souza Co-founder & Manager Read full review
Cons	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. Incentivized Auke Vos Owner Read full review	They might consider improving their checking process speed, it often takes a huge time to display the performance report. This is even longer for non-logged-in users. Previously two different options of Google's Pagespeeds and Yahoo's lighthouse were shown in the report section, now only combined report is shown. I personally like the two reports from different sources. Non-tech savvy persons might not find it so easy to use. Incentivized RK Rahul Kumar Senior Executive Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	Couldn't live without this, no other tool does precisely what we need them to do Ken Hanson Growth Lead Read full review	No answers on this topic
Usability	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. Verified User Anonymous Read full review	It's easy to use fast, data is easy to read and take aways are great too. Incentivized Sanjit Mandal Digital Marketing Strategist Read full review
Support Rating	I use support only in very emergency cases. The support hasn't been very helpful and suggests the problem is on my site Incentivized Art Bukowski CRO, UX and GA specialist Read full review	I have never had the need to use GTmetrix support. Therefore, there is really no way for me to give a grade here. However, if you are on a paid plan my guess and it is a guess, is that their support is as good as the tool is. There are a lot more features in the paid plans, reporting. monitoring etc. I could see where support could come into play as these features are added to the account Incentivized Jeff Smith Owner Principal Read full review
Alternatives Considered	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 for improvement, but that only really affects power users or tests that require significant coding/development work to execute. Matt Beischel Founder & CEO Read full review	Given we are doing the work to improve in Google to a large degree - the Google product is essential. But GTMetrix may use their info as well as other independent stuff to be a little better. I appreciate the way GTMetrix provides the info - cleaner and clearer and thus quicker to address. Incentivized Frank Watson CEO Read full review
Return on Investment	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. Scot Chandler Senior Consultant Read full review	A great free tool that is does what it is meant to do very well. Due to its simplicity and speed it is highly efficient.
