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

Netlify

  • The free tier is an individual account with 300 credits; team members require the Pro plan at $20 a month
  • Everything is metered in credits, so bandwidth at 20 credits per GB and production deploys at 15 credits each consume the allowance in ways a bandwidth figure alone would not show
  • Compute is billed at 10 credits per GB-hour, so server-rendered work costs more than static hosting
  • Running past the allowance means buying credit packs, at $5 for 500 on Personal and $10 for 1,500 on Pro
  • AI inference is priced by model rather than at a flat credit rate
