Looking for a VWO alternative?

VWO is a capable platform. People rarely leave it because it stopped working. They leave because they want a focused A/B testing tool priced in the open, or because they'd rather author variants in code than in a visual editor. If either of those is you, here's an honest look at whether ABTestly fits.

Why people go looking

Two reasons come up most:

Pricing you can't read on the page. VWO publishes three tiers — Growth, Pro, and Enterprise — but not their prices. To get a number you schedule a demo. That's fine if you're ready to talk to sales, but it makes budgeting and quick comparisons harder. ABTestly lists every price on its pricing page, no call required.

An all-in-one suite when you want one job done well. VWO's A/B testing sits inside a broad platform that also covers heatmaps, session recordings, surveys, funnels, personalization, and feature experimentation. That breadth is a genuine strength for some teams. If all you need is A/B testing, it's surface area you're paying for and navigating around.

What ABTestly does differently

ABTestly is A/B testing built for the edge: code-first, served from Cloudflare's network in 300+ cities, with the statistics shown in full.

• Pricing in the open. Free at $0 (1 experiment, 3,000 monthly tracked users), Starter $79/mo, Pro $179/mo for 100,000 monthly tracked users with unlimited experiments, Business $399/mo, Enterprise from $899/mo. Annual billing takes 20% off. No demo needed to see any of it.
• A snippet built to stay out of your way. ~10KB gzipped runtime, loader under 1.5KB, config served from the edge, and variants applied on first paint with anti-flicker always on.
• Experiments authored in code. Variants are written in ES6, not built in a point-and-click editor. They diff, they review, they live in your workflow.
• Statistics you can audit. Every result shows its sample size and a confidence interval. Nothing is called a winner before significance — a result reads "Still collecting" until it gets there — and a built-in sample ratio mismatch (SRM) check runs a chi-square test and raises a warning banner when your split looks broken. The full method is public in our docs and the SRM check has its own page.
• Native GA4 integration. Impressions fire an experience_impression event into your dataLayer, so experiment exposure lands in GA4 alongside everything else you already track.
• No overage charges, ever. Cross your MTU limit and already-bucketed visitors keep their variant while new bucketing pauses. You get an email at 80% and 100%, not a surprise invoice.
• A permanent free plan — 1 experiment, 3,000 MTU — so you can test the product on a real page before paying anything, and a 30-day money-back guarantee on paid plans for first-time customers.

The pricing difference, honestly

We can't put a side-by-side dollar table here, because VWO doesn't publish its prices — pricing is quote and demo-gated. What we can say plainly: ABTestly's numbers are on the page. Pro is $179/mo for 100,000 monthly tracked users with unlimited experiments ($143/mo billed annually), there's a permanent free plan, and there are no overage charges. If reading the price before booking a call matters to you, that's the difference. You can sanity-check the traffic you'd need against our A/B test calculator.

ABTestly prices are billed via Paddle as merchant of record; applicable tax is handled at checkout. Nonprofit and open-source projects get 50% off.

Where VWO is the better fit

Honesty matters more to us than the sale, so:

• You want one platform for qualitative and quantitative CRO. VWO combines A/B testing with heatmaps, session recordings, surveys, and funnels. ABTestly is A/B testing and native GA4 export, nothing more.
• Non-technical marketers build your tests. VWO's visual editor lets someone create and QA a variant without a developer. ABTestly variants are ES6 code.
• You want an established vendor with a large feature surface and a wide integration catalog. VWO has years of operating history, personalization, feature experimentation, and a broad integrations list. ABTestly is younger and deliberately narrow.

A couple of things on our side are still in progress, and we'd rather you hear it from us: single-page-app support is rolling out, and a public REST API, webhooks, and raw event export are on the roadmap rather than in the product today.

If none of those are blockers, a focused code-first tool with pricing you can read is worth a look — and verifying our side of it costs nothing on the free plan.

Trying it is quick

Most teams stand up their first ABTestly experiment in an afternoon: drop one snippet, author a variant in code, and optionally run it alongside your current tool for a week to check the numbers agree before you change anything.
