Overall Satisfaction with unbounce

I used unbounce to build landing pages and advertorial pages for lead generation campaigns. Driving traffic to the landing pages from Facebook ads and from organic traffic via blog posts. It was recommended as the easiest way to build landing pages.

I used a lot of templates I was given and others included with the software
  • AB testing is simple to set up. Clone a page make your changes and pit one or more against each other. Set the number of views and you're told the winner once the test is done. Simple
  • Tracking code is easy to add. Follow the straightforward instructions in the back end
  • Easy to add multiple domains to your account. So you can use the landing pages you build on numerous sites if you so desire
  • I feel like the biggest problem is the page builder. It is a slog. It is outdated and super-fiddly. The alignment tools are awful. Finding elements can be horrible too.
  • I believe it's a pig to use
  • Nothing else comes close to the awful page builder. I feel like it is just horrible. Everything else is fine
  • Landing Page builder
  • AB testing
  • Analytics Tracking
  • Once built the landing pages did their job, without fuss. People went to the pages and either converted or did not. Fine
  • In my experience, the time taken to build the pages was too long, negatively affecting ROI
Divi is easy to use. You can build pages fast. Global modules are easy to add. It does a better job. There is inbuilt AB testing but it's not as good as unbounce. But in comparison to the nasty experience building on unbounce's outdated builder... it's fantastic.

We selected unbounce because it was recommended on a course. The people gave us free templates and help videos. So in that respect it was good. But the building experience ruined everything. Now we add landing pages on a subdomain and use WordPress to build them. There are other ways to do the AB tests

Do you think unbounce delivers good value for the price?

No

Are you happy with unbounce's feature set?

No

Did unbounce live up to sales and marketing promises?

No

Did implementation of unbounce go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy unbounce again?

No

I would tell a colleague to choose another page builder software. Because I believe this is horrible to use. You will soon want to throw your PC out of the window. I suppose if you used the ready made templates and filled those in with your own copy it might be okay. Anything other than that, forget it.
