Frequently Asked Questions
They are powerful platforms, but they require you to do everything manually: deciding what to test, designing variations, monitoring results, analyzing data, and implementing winners. This is great for teams with dedicated specialists, but most marketing teams do not have 40-60 hours monthly to spend on this.
Yes. Most teams run both tools simultaneously during transition, then cancel their traditional tool once they see CroPilot results. You can typically switch within 1-2 weeks instead of months.
If you have a specialist, traditional tools give them more manual control. But many teams reallocate their specialist to strategy and let CroPilot handle execution. Or they use both: traditional tool for complex experiments, CroPilot for ongoing optimization.
Traditional tools charge high prices because they know you need to hire a specialist anyway. We use AI to eliminate the specialist requirement entirely, so we can charge based on actual value delivered, not what the market will bear.
Google shut down Optimize in September 2023. Most former Optimize users went to VWO or Optimizely, then realized they needed to hire specialists. Many are now switching to CroPilot for autonomous optimization instead.
CroPilot focuses on practical A/B tests that drive revenue. If you need highly complex multivariate experiments, traditional tools offer more control. But 90% of companies just need tests that work and deliver results automatically.
