The short version

  • Only Signal 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; Signal signal must be installed on a phone before the desktop app can be used, so there is no phone-free desktop-only account
  • They diverge on capability: Convert covers A/B testing, Signal covers End-to-end encryption.

Convert

  • 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

Signal

  • Signal must be installed on a phone before the desktop app can be used, so there is no phone-free desktop-only account
