Why ABConvert Makes More Sense for Most Brands

The reality is, most Shopify merchants don’t need enterprise-level complexity just to test product price points or optimize a shipping threshold. Intelligems offers powerful features, but many of them only unlock at $499/month or higher.

That makes sense for brands with in-house analysts or multi-variable profit modeling needs—but for most growth-stage merchants, that’s overbuilt for the job.

ABConvert keeps things lean, focused, and affordable, which means you can test faster and get results without needing to restructure your tech stack or your budget.
