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

Okta

  • Requires $1,500 annual minimum contract
  • Admin-only MFA can be vulnerable to push notification fatigue attacks
  • Implementation requires significant services and integration fees in year one
