Why teams leave
Why marketing teams are leaving Optimizely
Real complaints from real users, pulled from review platforms, community forums, and customer migration calls.
Enterprise pricing, startup budgets
Optimizely's full experimentation platform starts at $36,000 per year. Most mid-market teams are priced out before they run their first test.
Experiments without execution
Optimizely shows you what variant wins but cannot automatically send the winner to users via email, SMS, or push without a second platform.
No CDP, no profiles
Optimizely is not a CDP. Customer data must be piped in from Segment or a warehouse, and computed traits must be synced manually to create experiment audiences.

What our customers have to say
“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.”

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.
