Unbounce: what it is, how it works & who it's for

Landing page builder with A/B testing, popups and AI traffic routing

Updated · Pricing checked October 2026

What is Unbounce?

Unbounce is a landing page platform that lets marketers build, test and optimize campaign pages without writing code. Alongside landing pages, it creates popups and sticky bars, and it offers dynamic text replacement so page copy can match the keyword a visitor searched for. Its main audience is marketing teams and agencies who send paid traffic to dedicated pages and want to improve conversion rates.

Unbounce has added a strong AI layer. Unbounce Smart Traffic is an AI routing feature that sends each visitor to the page variant most likely to convert for someone like them. The builder can also draft pages and copy from a prompt, and an MCP server lets you manage and report on pages from AI assistants such as Claude and ChatGPT.

How does Unbounce work?

  1. Start a page

    Pick a template, use the drag-and-drop builder, or prompt the AI to generate a first draft with copy.

  2. Customize and connect

    Adjust layout and styling, add forms, scripts and pixels, and connect tools such as HubSpot, Mailchimp or Salesforce.

  3. Publish to your domain

    Go live on your own domain with hosting included, and add popups or sticky bars to the page or your site.

  4. Create variants

    Duplicate the page and change headlines, offers or layouts to test different ideas.

  5. Test or route with AI

    Run classic A/B tests with manual traffic splits, or turn on Smart Traffic to route visitors automatically to their best-match variant.
