Why marketing teams are leaving Optimizely
Real complaints from real users, pulled from review platforms, community forums, and customer migration calls.
Optimizely Web Experimentation starts at $36K/year for small implementations and reaches $200K+ for enterprise. That buys you testing and nothing else. No messaging, no CDP, no analytics.
You run a winning test variant. Now you want to send an email to users who saw the losing variant, or personalize their next visit. Optimizely can not do either. You need a separate journey tool, a separate email tool, and a way to sync the test data.
Renewal contracts include 3-7% annual price escalators by default. The only way to avoid them is a multi-year commitment with rate-lock negotiated upfront.

What Blu does that Optimizely can't
Experimentation Lead
Design and analyze A/B tests
Optimizely requires manual hypothesis creation and test setup. Experimentation Lead suggests test ideas based on funnel analysis, sets up variants, and interprets results with next-step recommendations.
Lifecycle Marketer
Act on experiment results automatically
Optimizely declares a winner. Lifecycle Marketer takes the winning variant and triggers a follow-up journey for users who saw the losing version. No manual handoff.
Switching from Optimizely is easier than you think
Most teams are fully migrated and live within a week.

The teams that made the switch
We were losing visitors before they signed up. Intempt's personalized experiences changed that - we started meeting people where they were instead of guessing. Once they're in, Intempt's automated email takes over and keeps the relationship moving. Acquisition and retention finally feel like one connected motion instead of two separate problems.

StockInvest
Case Study
StockInvest needed to turn anonymous traffic into registered users before any retention strategy could work. With Intempt's Experiences, they personalized the anonymous visitor flow, surfacing the right content and CTAs to boost signup conversion. Once users signed up, automated Journeys nurtured them through onboarding and deeper engagement, steadily increasing lifetime value.
