The short version

  • Only Instapage has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Freshpaint filtering necessarily degrades what advertising platforms receive, so campaign optimisation and lookalike modelling perform worse than an unfiltered pixel would, and the marketing team must accept measurably weaker targeting as the price of compliance.; Instapage create tier limited to 15,000 monthly unique visitors; scaling requires upgrading to Optimize tier

Where each one falls short

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

Freshpaint

  • Filtering necessarily degrades what advertising platforms receive, so campaign optimisation and lookalike modelling perform worse than an unfiltered pixel would, and the marketing team must accept measurably weaker targeting as the price of compliance.
  • Pricing is not published on the vendor site despite three named tiers, and third party reports of entry around 599 US dollars a month cover only the lowest tier, with audiences and advertising activation sitting above it.
  • It addresses web and marketing tracking rather than the whole protected health information estate, so it solves one exposure while patient data in the CRM, call centre and email tooling remains a separate problem.
  • The commercial case rests on a specific regulatory interpretation of online tracking technologies, and litigation and future guidance could narrow or widen it, which makes the size of the problem it solves less stable than a compliance purchase usually is.
  • It is built for healthcare and priced accordingly, so an organisation wanting a general customer data platform pays for a regulatory specialism it does not need and gets narrower general purpose functionality than Segment or RudderStack.

Instapage

  • Create tier limited to 15,000 monthly unique visitors; scaling requires upgrading to Optimize tier
  • Optimize tier offers only 30,000 or 50,000 visitor tiers, requiring Convert (custom pricing) for higher volumes
  • Pricing significantly higher than competitor Leadpages, which offers unlimited traffic starting at $99/month
  • Advanced personalisation and heatmaps only available in Convert (enterprise) tier
  • Annual billing required for 20% savings; monthly billing incurs full price

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Freshpaint: Why can a hospital not just use Google Analytics?

US Department of Health and Human Services guidance treats IP addresses and health related page URLs as protected health information in this context, and advertising and analytics platforms will not sign a business associate agreement, so the disclosure is unlawful without an intermediary that filters.

Instapage: Does Instapage include A/B testing?

Yes. The Optimize and Convert plans include server-side A/B testing on both standard and AMP pages, plus AI experiments that automatically route traffic to higher-performing variants.

Source
Freshpaint: Does Freshpaint sign a BAA?

Yes, and it holds SOC 2 Type II. That is the central reason it exists, because the destination platforms will not.

Instapage: How many integrations does Instapage support?

Instapage integrates with 120+ third-party applications including Salesforce, HubSpot, Shopify and others.

Source
Freshpaint: What does it cost?

Freshpaint does not publish prices. Three tiers, Comply, Perform and Scale, are all sales led, and third party sources report entry around 599 US dollars a month for the lowest.

Instapage: Is there a free trial?

Yes. Instapage offers a 14-day free trial with no credit card required for Create and Optimize plans.

Source
Freshpaint: Will my ad performance suffer?

Somewhat. Stripping identifiers reduces what platforms can optimise against. The trade is weaker targeting in exchange for measurement that a compliance committee will approve.
