The short version
- Only Convert 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; Insider delivery depends heavily on the assigned account team, so results vary by region and a team change mid-contract can be felt immediately in campaign output.
- They diverge on capability: Convert covers A/B testing, Insider covers Architect journeys.

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
Insider
- Delivery depends heavily on the assigned account team, so results vary by region and a team change mid-contract can be felt immediately in campaign output.
- The suite is licensed by module, so the platform fee quoted at the start typically excludes the channels and predictive features that make the business case work.
- Template-driven web personalisation targets the rendered DOM, which breaks on single-page applications that re-render after the template applies unless a developer wires in the framework hooks.
- Reporting exports are limited compared with warehouse-native tools, so teams that want campaign data alongside finance data end up pulling it through the API on a schedule.
- Contracts are annual and negotiated per traffic band, so a seasonal spike in visitors can push you into a renegotiation rather than a metered overage.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages
Convert: What is the starting price for Convert?
The Growth plan starts at $399/month (or $299/month billed annually for 25% savings) with 100K monthly tested users, 5 projects, and 5 active experiences per project.
SourceInsider: Is WhatsApp actually usable at scale here?
Yes. It is a supported primary channel with catalogue and template message support, though WhatsApp conversation fees from Meta are passed through and are separate from the licence.
Convert: What is the difference between Growth and Pro plans?
Both cap at 100K tested users/month, but Pro ($599/month or $420/month annual) adds 30 active projects (vs 5), unlimited experiences per project (vs 5), unlimited domains (vs 10), multivariate testing, full-stack testing, sequential testing, and phone support.
SourceInsider: Can we run it without vendor help?
You can, but the pricing assumes a managed relationship. Teams with strong in-house campaign operations often find they are paying for services they do not use.
Convert: How much does the Enterprise plan cost?
Enterprise pricing is available 'on request.' It supports 1M+ monthly tested users (12M+ annually), unlimited projects, experiences, and domains, plus dedicated account manager and custom terms.
SourceInsider: Does it work for B2B?
Rarely a good fit. The segmentation, recommendations and channel mix are built around high-frequency consumer behaviour.
Convert: What is the cost to exceed my monthly tested user limit?
Growth overages cost $399 per 100K additional users. Pro/Enterprise overages cost $699 per 250K additional users. Customers can also upgrade mid-cycle at any time.
