Google Optimize alternative, which is the best one?

Google Optimize and Google Optimize 360 - Google’s web A/B testing tools - will switch off on September 30, 2023. After that date, customers will not be able to run web experiments with Google and will need to find an alternative.

Google Optimize is an experimentation platform that allowed us to split test landing pages throughout our site and make decisions based on the in-depth data it provided. Google Optimize also used Google Analytics to target audiences for behavior-focused tests. 

While Google Optimize has given many brands a great place to start as an experimentation platform, it comes up short for companies that are serious about maximizing the potential of optimization.

With limitations on testing variations, personalization options, channels, and integrations with third-party tools, many Google Optimize customers might now be thinking about how they can do more with digital optimization.
