Are you currently using Google Optimize as your A/B testing platform? Optimize has been a widely adopted experimentation platform for many reasons. It’s free, relatively easy to implement and use, and enables businesses to test different versions of a page. However, it also comes with limitations such as limits to the number of goals per experiment, reporting that isn’t real-time, and a cap on the number of variables. Recently Google announced that Optimize will be sunset in 2023 and they’ve decided to invest in more effective solutions for their customers.

1. Google is sunsetting Optimize on September 30, 2023

Google Optimize will no longer be available after September 30, 2023. Any A/B testing experiments and personalization that are currently active will end on that date. While Google remains committed to enabling businesses with tools and data to understand visitor behavior, they’ve determined that in the best interest of current customers they’ve decided to sunset Optimize. This decision was based largely on the fact that Optimize doesn’t have many of the core features required by businesses to execute A/B testing and personalized experiences. Key differentiators include:

  • Optimizely supports multipage funnel testing.
  • Optimizely offers primary and secondary metrics to measure success rather than being limited to Google Optimize’s objectives
  • Optimizely allows business users to set up as many goals as desired whereas Google Optimize has a limit of three goals per experiment.
  • Optimizely provides real-time data in reports so you don’t have to wait 12 hours to see results and make decisions.
