Privacy-first A/B testing and personalization platform for websites and apps

Updated · Pricing checked October 2026

What is Convert?

Convert is an A/B testing and personalization platform, sold as Convert Experiences, that helps teams test changes to websites and apps and show tailored experiences to visitors. It supports A/B, split URL, multivariate, multi-page and full-stack tests, with both frequentist and Bayesian statistics. Convert positions itself as privacy-first, with servers in Frankfurt and support for GDPR, CCPA and other privacy laws.

Convert was founded in 2009 by Dennis van der Heijden and Claudiu Rogoveanu and has run as a largely bootstrapped, remote-first company. It is popular with conversion rate optimization agencies and in-house teams that want enterprise-style testing features with transparent pricing. Plans are priced by the number of tested users per month, and a free trial is available without a credit card. Annual billing cuts the monthly rate by up to 30 percent.

How does Convert work?

    Install Convert's script on your site, or use a platform integration such as Shopify or WordPress. Platforms like Magento and WordPress are also supported.

    Build variations in the visual editor or code editors, choose the test type and set goals. Growth allows up to five active projects, while Pro raises that to thirty.

  3. Target and QA

    Define audiences and locations, then preview with QA overlays and live logs before launch. Change history records edits for later review.

  4. Run and analyze

    Monitor results with frequentist, Bayesian or sequential statistics, with checks for sample ratio mismatch and outliers.

  5. Deploy winners

    Push winning changes live with Deploys or personalize content for specific segments.

Convert FAQ

Is Convert free?

No. Convert does not have a free plan, but it offers a 15-day free trial with no credit card required. After the trial, the Growth plan costs $299 per month billed annually or $399 billed monthly, and includes 100,000 tested users per month. Pro and Enterprise add more test types and limits.

What is Convert used for?

Convert is used for A/B testing, multivariate testing and personalization on websites and apps. Ecommerce stores and CRO agencies use Convert to test headlines, layouts, pricing and checkout flows, measure the impact on conversions, and then deploy or personalize the winning experience. Price testing and multi-armed bandits support more advanced optimization programs.

Is Convert good for beginners?

Convert can be used by beginners thanks to its visual editor and guides, but it is built for teams that run testing programs seriously. Features like statistics settings, data quality checks and full-stack testing assume some experimentation knowledge. Beginners with low traffic may struggle to get significant results. Support and documentation help new teams set up their first tests.

Convert vs VWO: what's the difference?

Both offer A/B testing and personalization. Convert focuses on privacy, flexible statistics and published pricing, and it targets CRO agencies and growth teams. VWO, now part of Wingify with AB Tasty, offers a broader suite with behavior analytics, feature management and commerce tools, with pricing mostly by quote.

Does Convert integrate with Shopify?

Yes. Convert lists Shopify among its integrations, so ecommerce stores can run experiments on their storefront and connect results to their store data. Convert also integrates with GA4, Mixpanel, Segment, Amplitude, WordPress and Magento, out of more than 90 supported tools in total.
