Where each one wins

VWO wins when:

  • Public pricing and self-serve onboarding matter
  • Budget is under $30K/year for the line item
  • You want to evaluate the tool free before committing
  • Heatmaps and session recordings are central to your CRO workflow (paid via Insights add-on)

AB Tasty wins when:

  • Feature flags (Flagship) are central to your roadmap
  • Budget is $40K-$70K/year
  • AI-driven personalization (recommendations, automated audiences) is a real requirement
  • EU-based team or strong European compliance requirements (GDPR)

If neither fits

If your real need is banner-level personalization for marketing or e-commerce traffic (not full-stack experimentation with feature flags), neither VWO nor AB Tasty is shaped for that.
