About

Mid-market CRO and A/B testing platform competing against Optimizely and VWO with a focus on flexibility and transparent pricing

Webtrends Optimize, acquired by Acceleration (formerly known as Webtrends) and operating as part of that portfolio, is a dedicated experimentation and conversion rate optimization (CRO) platform built for digital teams seeking to improve website and app performance. The platform enables businesses to run A/B tests, multivariate tests, and split URL tests, alongside sophisticated personalization capabilities driven by visitor segmentation and behavioral targeting. Originally emerging from the legacy Webtrends analytics brand, Webtrends Optimize was repositioned as a standalone optimization product to compete directly in the growing CRO and experimentation market. The platform is designed to serve marketing, product, and UX teams looking to reduce friction in the customer journey and increase conversion rates without requiring heavy developer involvement. Its visual editor and WYSIWYG interface allow non-technical users to build and launch tests quickly, while its JavaScript-based implementation and API access cater to more advanced technical users. Webtrends Optimize has positioned itself as a mid-market and enterprise-friendly alternative to larger players like Optimizely and VWO, often emphasizing its flexibility, transparent pricing, and strong customer support. In the broader AdTech and MarTech ecosystem, Webtrends Optimize occupies a niche within the experimentation and personalization segment, competing on ease of use, affordability, and a full-featured toolset. The platform integrates with analytics tools, tag management systems, and CRM platforms, making it a practical choice for organizations seeking to embed experimentation into their digital optimization workflows. Its UK heritage and European customer base have also made GDPR compliance a notable part of its value proposition.
