Convert Experiences vs. Privy

Definitely well suited for budget conscious companies that want a solid array of functionality but without having to pay an exorbitant amount. Great for marketing and analytics team members that need the ability to get in and set up tests w/o dev assistance. But, functionality is there for developers to get in and set up more complicated tests.

Adding Privy to your ecommerce store is a no brainer. You can very quickly increase your on-site email acquisition conversion rate through the Spin To Win wheel and other templates that Privy offers. You can also use it for additional on-site messaging like announcement bars and landing pages

• The platform is good value for money, comparing its features and prices to some of the bigger players.
• The tool is very flexible and can be used for simpler tests right through to much more challenging and rewarding testing but does require a more thorough knowledge of the platform.
• Their support team is always available and always responsive, not resting until resolutions are met.

• Privy is phenomenally user friendly, email campaigns are very easy to create.
• Privy has great customer service and implementation, our rep is Melissa who went above and beyond in getting everything setup.

• The only thing I'm really missing is segmentation during or after testing of the results by device, new users etc., within the results page. Targeting of users based on segments is obviously possible.
• There are a few inconsistencies in their user interface that I would have liked to see differently. This could be personal taste though.

Couldn't live without this, no other tool does precisely what we need them to do

• Flexible options: The software allows so many different kinds of opt-in form solutions: Full-page, pop-up, bar at the top of the page, embedded, etc.
• Easy UX: This software is easy to use for just about anyone on my team. It's easy to implement and work with. Design, form field determination, and integration is all relatively very easy to perform.
• Great support: We've had in-person calls with their support team, and they've been answer specific questions and offer relevant strategies. They've been willing to get on the phone with me and my clients to help us solve problems.
• Multiple integrations - No matter what CRM you're using, there's likely a way to integrate Privy forms into it.
• Easy installation on sites: Just a strip of code.
• Visible, measurable results: Tracking and data with visits, conversion events, and conversion $ tracked to the forms.

To use the platform in the context of developing enhanced tests that stretch the platform there is as with most things a learning curve. However, if you're a casual user or have standard experiments that you wish to run you would be easily able to hit the ground running.

Privy is very easy to use and is intuitive to new users. The templates they provide give you a head start on campaign builds and their customer success team is approachable and knowledgable about the product. You do not have to be a tech wizard to get rolling with Privy, but the results will make you feel that way.

I use support only in very emergency cases. The support hasn't been very helpful and suggests the problem is on my site

• Quick resolution - we were able to get our questions answered quickly and help with implementation.
• Flexibility - We've found that they've been very flexible in their solutions to our problems.

Convert was selected based on price point, feature set, and UI/UX. All three are very friendly to new testers and small to mid-market size companies. Their UI and tool workflow is the best out of all of the non-enterprise solutions that I have tried. There is some small room for improvement, but that only really affects power users or tests that require significant coding/development work to execute.

After having used quite a few email marketing platforms, I can say out of all of them we like Privy the best. Privy's integration with the BigCommerce platform makes it much easier to use than the others we tried in the past and we are happy with the results we have gotten and their excellent customer support which is superior especially to Mailchimp which can only be reached by email.

• Connecting the tests with Shopify has produced very valuable and timely results that we can act upon as soon as we see statistically significant results.

• We have 3X'd our on site email acquisition on average
• Sold thousands of dollars of merchandise through product upsells
