    It is a little too limited for a full stack experimentation programme. Many times we required development support or tech advise but we were simply unable to get this due to it being google. This was a big problem for us. However it is quite good if you were looking to get started in experimentation and didn’t have the budgets for a wider tool

    It's a great platform if you're looking for something to run contests that provide leads and drive user engagement, but if they also incorporated social media management and scheduling, Wishpond would be a 10 by far. It's definitely worth looking into specifically for running contests throughout the year, for a wide variety of companies and industries.

    Pros
    Google
    • Easy to follow set up procedures. Once I walk a client through the process, it's effortless for them to emulate on subsequent tests.
    • Lots of geo and user attribute customization features to be able to drill down into specific targeted audiences — all based on the power of Google's immense data system.
    • Google Optimize is the logical choice for many people to start with since most are already familiar with and using GA.

    • Very small learning curve, thanks to wonderful real-time tutorials and help, and drag-and-drop editors.
    • Easy to navigate - there are only 3 main sections of the site (content, lists, and emails).
    • Excellent customer service. I've always gotten prompt answers to any questions I've had.

    Cons

    • Only works for browsers, not for the apps testing.
    • Missing possibility to test complicated features.
    • Audience division in groups is not always accurate.

    • They added keywords to campaigns we'd specifically said not to.
    • They should tweak campaigns with a 0.06 ROAS.
    • They should provide the services that are promised.

    There is no support at Wishpond. I contacted my project manager's manager over a week ago without a reply. When I responded to the automated 'How is your experience' email saying how awful it was there was no follow-up. When I had trouble and had to escalate things it resulted in some new procedures being put in place that changed nothing and they never checked in to see if things were fixed.

    Google Optimize being part of the Google stack makes it great in reporting and analysis. Wish Google would add more features like dynamic tests, multi funnel tests, conversion calculator based on the total number of traffic of the page being tested instead of using the websites total traffic. Should integrate form analysis, heatmap, and page analytics.

    We choose Wishpond as our first option since we were a startup e-commerce. Klaviyo was a little bit expensive for us and Wishpond really suits pretty well in our budget. Besides, if you don't have so many clients, at a first glance, there are a lot of features that would not be taken advantage of. That is why Wishpond was a better option when we started.

    Return on Investment
    Google
    • We were able to increase our main KPI for conversions by almost 50% by testing button copy.
    • We were able to increase secondary KPIs for conversions by almost 30% by testing form design.

    • Negative google ROI.
    • A few conversions in September on paid social then none - negative ROI.
    • Between ad spend and Wishpond fees every month is negative ROI. Can’t wait until I can get out of this contract.
    • Emails don’t perform as well as my own for open rates or clicks.
