The short version

  • Only Docker has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Convert pricing is driven by monthly tested users, starting at $399 per month for 100,000 monthly tested users on Growth and $599 on Pro; Docker shared kernel creates security vulnerabilities when containers share the same OS kernel that can bypass container isolation
  • They diverge on capability: Convert covers A/B testing, Docker covers Container runtime.

Where each one falls short

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

Convert

  • Pricing is driven by monthly tested users, starting at $399 per month for 100,000 monthly tested users on Growth and $599 on Pro
  • Single Sign-On requires the Pro plan at $599 per month
  • Multivariate testing, multi-page testing, full stack and feature flags, sequential testing and raw test data export are all withheld from the Growth plan
  • Phone support, change history and guided onboarding require Pro
  • The advertised $299 and $420 per month rates require paying the full year up front at $3,588 or $5,040
  • The Enterprise plan is price on request, is only available as an annual plan, and its data segregation feature carries additional costs
  • Listed prices exclude VAT, GST and other taxes, which are added at checkout
  • Above 5 million monthly tested users there is no published rate

Docker

  • Shared kernel creates security vulnerabilities when containers share the same OS kernel that can bypass container isolation
  • Daemon socket exposure grants full root access to the host if compromised
  • Requires careful secrets management - credentials embedded in images or environment variables are easily harvested by attackers
  • Resource management complexity - misbehaving or compromised containers can consume all resources causing denial of service
  • Orchestration complexity - Docker Swarm is less capable than Kubernetes, requiring external tools for production deployments

Questions people ask

Is Convert or Docker better?
Neither clearly leads. Convert starts at $1000/month and Docker at Free, and user ratings are close enough to be indistinguishable. Choose on capability and platform support.
Which is cheaper, Convert or Docker?
Docker has a free tier; the other does not. Paid plans start at $1000/month for Convert and Free for Docker.
Does Convert or Docker run on more platforms?
Convert runs on Web. Docker runs on Linux, macOS, Windows.
Can I use Docker for free?
Yes. Docker has a free tier, so you can try it without paying. Convert starts at $1000/month.
What is Convert best used for?
Convert is most often used for a/b, split and multivariate testing on websites, server-side experimentation and feature flagging, personalising site content to visitor segments. Of those, a/b, split and multivariate testing on websites and server-side experimentation and feature flagging are not what Docker is typically brought in for.
What can Convert do that Docker cannot?
Convert covers A/B testing, Multivariate testing, Analytics, API access. Docker covers Container runtime, Docker Desktop, Docker Hub, Docker Compose.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Docker: What is Docker pricing?

Docker offers a freemium model with Docker Personal free, Docker Pro at $11/user/month, Docker Team at $16/user/month, and Docker Business at $24/user/month. Each tier includes Docker Desktop, Docker Hub, and Docker Scout with different usage limits.

Source
Docker: Can I use Docker in production?

Yes. Docker is used extensively in production environments. However, for container orchestration at scale, Kubernetes is typically paired with Docker to automate deployment, scaling, and management across clusters.

Source
Docker: What are the main security concerns with Docker?

Key security risks include container breakout vulnerabilities through shared kernel exploits, daemon socket exposure that grants root access if compromised, weak isolation between containers, and credential leakage if secrets are embedded in images.

Source
Docker: Does Docker integrate with CI/CD systems?

Yes. Docker integrates with Jenkins, GitHub, and other CI/CD systems. The typical workflow involves GitHub repositories triggering automated builds in Jenkins, which prepare Dockerfiles and push images to Docker Hub for deployment.
