Compose vs Crazy Egg

Compose is a pay-as-you-go web platform for A/B testing and conversion rate optimization. It supports A/B/n, split URL, split theme, and split template tests, with custom goals, audiences, triggers, and traffic allocation. A visual editor and audience targeting are available for building and directing experiments. For planning, teams can use a shared hypothesis backlog, PIE prioritization, and an experimentation roadmap. Reports update in real time and include frequentist statistical calculations; GA4 and BigQuery integrations are listed. Shopify users can create no-code experiments on themes and templates through Shopify’s editor. Compose says its client-side testing uses AWS Lambda@Edge for speed and to avoid flicker. The product lists unlimited experiments, variations, collaborators, and projects. You can explore it without charge until launching a first experiment, but there is no traditional free trial. The Early Adopter Plan is $0.00 per month, billed at $0.0012 per monthly tested user, with usage billed monthly for the prior month. Server-side testing is not available.

Crazy Egg is a website analytics platform for examining visitor behavior and conversion activity. It offers heatmaps, session recordings, web analytics, A/B testing, surveys, popup calls to action, conversion analytics, and error tracking. Reports can show clicks, scrolling, overlays, confetti, and lists. The Free plan includes Web Analytics, Instant Heatmaps, Conversion Analytics, and surveys. Instant Heatmaps track up to 1,000 sessions per day and retain 30 days of data, with no website limit. Paid plans start at $29 a month, billed annually, and include a 30-day trial that requires a credit card. Starter includes 5,000 tracked pageviews, five heatmap reports, and 50 recordings per month. All paid plans include unlimited website domains and team members. Crazy Egg is available through web, API, and extension platforms, and installation integrations include Shopify, WordPress, and Google Tag Manager. When monthly tracking limits are reached, data collection pauses until the first of the next month.
