The short answer

Six criteria lean Convert Experiences' way; performance impact leans VWO's. Data and integrations (5.3 vs 3.3), sovereignty (4.0 vs 2.0) and pricing transparency (5.0 vs 1.2) go 6 judges to 0 for Convert Experiences; statistical rigour goes 3–0 with 3 ties (3.7 vs 2.8), consent and tracking 4–0 with 2 ties (2.8 vs 1.3), and experimentation scope is 4.3 vs 4.0 with 4 ties. Performance impact leans VWO 5 judges to 1 (2.7 vs 2.0); the Convert Experiences verdict cites the Akamai delivery claim and the $1000/year CNAME option, reporting no script-size or Core Web Vitals figures. Both attribute sets list US-default data residency and US Cloud Act exposure; VWO's policy states customer data sits in Washington DC and Dallas, while Convert Experiences documents visitor data in Europe on German servers. Weighted totals: 3.3–4.7 for Convert Experiences, 2.1–3.5 for VWO — pricing unweighted for VWO, which publishes no prices.

Choose Convert Experiences if

  • You need API access, an MCP server and 90+ integrations on all plans plus raw-data CSV export; data and integrations goes 6 judges to 0 for Convert Experiences (5.3 vs 3.3).
  • You need published prices before purchase: overuse rates of $399 per 100K on Growth and $699 per 250K on Pro are published and switchable off, while VWO is custom-only — pricing transparency leans Convert Experiences 6 judges to 0 (5.0 vs 1.2).
  • You need visitor data documented to stay in Europe on German servers; sovereignty goes 6 judges to 0 for Convert Experiences (4.0 vs 2.0), noting its contract runs against a Delaware entity.
  • You want full-stack testing with feature flags and a sample ratio mismatch check on the entry plan; experimentation scope leans Convert Experiences 2–0 with 4 ties (4.3 vs 4.0).
  • Consent and tracking documentation for your visitors matters to your review: VWO's privacy policy states it applies to the customer only and not to visitors, and this criterion leans Convert Experiences 4 judges to 0 with 2 ties (2.8 vs 1.3).

Choose VWO if

  • Performance impact is your deciding criterion: 5 judges lean VWO and 1 leans Convert Experiences (2.7 vs 2.0), the one criterion the benches lean VWO's way.
  • The testing menu decides it for you: experimentation scope is 4.3 vs 4.0 with 4 ties, and VWO's captured pages list A/B/n, split and multivariate testing, visual and code editors, multi-arm bandit campaigns and single-page-application support.
  • Your procurement runs on custom quotes and you want to start with a free trial or demo: VWO is custom-only with a free trial and demo, and unpublished prices are not weighted against it.
  • US data residency meets your requirements: VWO's privacy policy states customer data is stored centrally in Washington DC and Dallas, and its data-residency attribute reads US by default.

Read this comparison as one judge. Each weighs the same scores by what they care about.

The Product Engineer

Ships experiments behind feature flags and would rather not ship a third-party script at all. Wants server-side SDKs for the stack in use, edge delivery, metrics computed in the warehouse the team already trusts, and an API good enough to build internal tooling on.

Convert Experiences

This judge's pick

VWO

Criterion by criterion

Experiment types & delivery

Convert Experiences

The captured pricing pages list A/B and split-URL tests, multivariate and multi-page testing, behavioural targeting, and full-stack experiments with feature flags on the upper tiers — the right shape — but the evidence names no SDK languages and we found no public information on holdouts, mutually exclusive experiment groups, or personalisation, so the server-side half rests on a feature name alone.

VWO

The published feature lists cover visual and code editors, A/B/n, split and multivariate tests, single-page-app support, a personalisation module, and mutually exclusive groups on the top tier — a solid client-side programme. But everything I can see is a pricing-page feature grid: we found no public information on server-side SDKs, feature-flag delivery or edge distribution, and feature management appears only as a suite name. I land between a capable client-side tool and one programme across surfaces, weighted toward the client side.

Statistical method & guardrails

Convert Experiences

An SRM check ships on every paid tier and sequential testing plus a multi-arm bandit arrive on Pro, which is more guardrail than most publish — but we found no public information naming the statistical method, confidence or credible intervals, sample-size guidance, or correction for multiple comparisons, so I cannot audit a winner call.

VWO

Sample ratio mismatch detection and guardrail metrics are listed as Pro features and multi-armed bandit campaigns on the lower tier, so some statistical machinery clearly exists. But we found no public information naming the statistical method, showing confidence or credible intervals, sample-size guidance, or how peeking and multiple comparisons are handled. A feature grid is not a methodology a team can defend to a data scientist.

Consent & visitor tracking

Convert Experiences

Cookies are documented as first-party only with a six-month non-PII lifetime, IP addresses are not stored for identity, and an opt-out link with do-not-track respect is described — genuinely privacy-forward — but we found no public information on what the script does before consent, consent management platform integrations, or a consent-pending mode.

VWO

The privacy policy states outright that it applies only to the customer and not to the visitors of the customer's website, and the only visitor-facing provision I found is a tracking opt-out. We found no public information on what the test script stores on a device, whether it runs before consent, cookie or storage lifetimes, or integrations with consent management platforms. That leaves the §25 TDDDG questions unanswered on the vendor's own pages and shifted to the customer's paperwork.

Snippet performance & flicker

Convert Experiences

Snippets are delivered over the Akamai CDN and a first-party CNAME domain option is priced at $1000/year per additional domain beyond plan allowances, yet we found no public information on script size, asynchronous loading, flicker handling, or measured Core Web Vitals impact.

VWO

Self-hosting of the script appears as an enterprise feature and the CDN is described with named providers and ten edge locations, which is more than nothing. We found no public figures for script size or loading behaviour, and no information on flicker handling or Core Web Vitals impact. For a snippet that runs on every page, that silence is the story.

Analytics, data export & integrations

Convert Experiences

API access and an MCP server come on all plans alongside 90+ integrations and CSV plus raw data export — enough to start wiring internal tooling — but we found no public information on warehouse-native analysis, visitor-level streaming, or stated API limits.

VWO

Google Analytics is named, an integrations listing exists, Data Studio is a paid add-on, and API access is gated to the enterprise tier with no API documentation visible. Pull-based integrations and data platform access appear only as feature-list items. We found no public information on visitor-level export or streaming to a warehouse, so an experiment result stays a claim I cannot check in my own data.

European sovereignty

Convert Experiences

Visitor data is stated to stay on German servers in Europe with a published DPA, but the contracting entity is Convert Insights, Inc. under Delaware law with the FTC as regulator, customer account data sits in the US under the Data Privacy Framework, and we found no published subprocessor list for the service even though authorized third parties may track visitor information including IP addresses.

VWO

The privacy policy states all customer data is stored centrally in Washington DC and Dallas, the contracting entities are Wingify Software Pvt. Ltd. in India together with Wingify Inc., and we found no public information on subprocessors. The EU anchors are an Article 27 representative, offices in Hamburg and Palma, and standard contractual clauses on offer. For a script that records every EU visitor's behaviour, that footing is hard to put in front of legal.

Pricing transparency

Convert Experiences

The traffic metric, per-tier tested-user limits, overage rates ($699 per 250K and $399 per 100K, with overuse that can be turned off), VAT treatment and add-on domain pricing are all public — but the captured pricing facts give no base plan price, enterprise is price on request, and some features carry unstated additional fees, so the annual invoice is still not computable.

VWO

Tier structure and included features are published, a free trial and free tools exist, and the traffic basis surfaces as monthly tracked users in a pricing question. But the pricing page states there are no fixed plans, only a custom proposal, and we found no price figures, traffic limits or overage terms on the captured pages — the annual invoice is not computable from public information. Wingz AI Core is free with all products while the Advanced tier is marked a paid upgrade with no figure shown.
