The short version

  • Each has a real cost: AB Tasty no transparent pricing published; requires custom sales conversation for any quote; CleverTap the platform assumes the mobile app is the main surface, so teams whose lifecycle runs mostly through the browser or through long B2B email sequences pay for capability they will not use.
  • They diverge on capability: AB Tasty covers A/B testing, CleverTap covers Cross-channel journeys.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 31 August 2026.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

AB Tasty

  • No transparent pricing published; requires custom sales conversation for any quote
  • Pricing determined by traffic volume, number of domains, and selected modules
  • No fixed pricing plans available; all customers receive individualized proposals

CleverTap

  • The platform assumes the mobile app is the main surface, so teams whose lifecycle runs mostly through the browser or through long B2B email sequences pay for capability they will not use.
  • Billing on monthly active users is cheaper for dormant-heavy bases but more expensive for products with high activity rates, and the definition of an active user is set in the contract rather than by you.
  • Event volume caps sit alongside the user caps, so a chatty instrumentation plan can trigger overage charges that are negotiated rather than published.
  • Deliverability support for email is thinner than at dedicated email providers, and teams sending high email volumes often keep a separate ESP for the largest campaigns.
  • Segmentation quality depends entirely on the event taxonomy, so without an owner who governs event naming the reports and segments diverge from reality within a couple of releases.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

AB Tasty: How does AB Tasty calculate pricing?

AB Tasty pricing is customized based on average traffic over the past 12 months or monthly active users (MAUs). The vendor does not offer fixed pricing plans and instead builds custom proposals around each customer's business goals and scope.

Source
CleverTap: Does CleverTap charge for users who stopped opening the app?

No. Billing is on monthly active users, so a dormant account stops counting without you deleting anything, which is the opposite of contact-based email pricing.

AB Tasty: What factors affect AB Tasty pricing besides traffic volume?

Pricing is customized based on traffic volume, number of domains, selected modules, and implementation scope. All pricing includes platform access, onboarding, training, and support with no hidden fees or surprise overage charges.

Source
CleverTap: Can it replace a product analytics tool?

For funnels, cohorts and retention it usually can. For exploratory analysis across many custom properties, teams tend to keep a warehouse copy and query it directly.

AB Tasty: Does AB Tasty offer a free trial or proof of concept?

AB Tasty does not offer a traditional free trial. Instead, the vendor provides a free proof of concept evaluation typically lasting 1 to 2 weeks to assess platform fit before purchase commitment.

CleverTap: What happened to Leanplum customers?

CleverTap acquired Leanplum in 2022 and migrated customers onto its own platform, so Leanplum contracts are not a live option.
