Which one is for you
Pick Instapage if
- Fits if your team needs to comment on pages before they go live
- Works for advertisers who build many similar pages from one template and want server-side A/B tests
Look elsewhere if
- Pricey if you're a small business, as the cheapest plan is $79 a month billed yearly, $99 by the month
- Not for you if you want to try it without a card, as the trial needs one and ends at 2,500 visitors
- Tight if traffic takes off: Create stops at 15,000 visitors and more than 50,000 needs a custom yearly contract
- Watch out: A/B tests and dynamic text need Optimize at $159, and heatmaps and root domain publishing need custom-priced Convert
Pick Wishpond if
- Fits if you want site, forms, email and SMS from one vendor and don't mind a sales call
- Works for small businesses and clinics the vendor's industry pages are aimed at
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you want to see a price before you talk to anyone, since none is published
- Not for you if you need a free plan or a trial to try first, as none is listed
- Too light for a standalone website, because the builder is one module of the marketing suite
- Watch out: e-commerce depends on the plan you are sold, and no integrations are listed
How we grade them
| 2.0GPAInstapageFair | 1.6GPAWishpondWeak | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | DGraded against other landing page builders, it's the dear end. Create is $79 a month on yearly billing ($99 monthly) for 15,000 visitors, where Swipe Pages gives 20,000 for $29 and Leadpages has no cap at $29. A/B tests and dynamic text need Optimize at $159. | CNo plan prices are published, because the pricing page redirects to a book-a-demo form. With nothing to compare against the category's $12 middle, it sits in the middle. |
| Free plan and trial | DNo free plan. The 14-day trial needs a card, and it ends early once you hit 2,500 unique visitors. | FNothing free is listed: no free plan and no trial, only a demo request. |
| Features | BA builder on a free canvas or a grid, 200+ templates, reusable blocks, forms, popups and sticky bars, comments for reviewers, programmatic Collections and AI copy, then server-side A/B tests and dynamic text on Optimize. It covers the job; heatmaps sit on the custom Convert plan. | CBuilder, landing pages, pop-ups, forms, email and SMS in one place. But the builder is one module of a bigger suite, and its page says e-commerce depends on the plan. |
| Ease of use | CNo rating on record. Templates and reusable blocks speed things up, but it's a full builder for marketing teams, with tests, forms and integrations to set up. | CNo store rating on record. It's a web suite with many modules, so expect accounts, templates and campaigns to set up. |
| Platforms and integrations | BA web app that works with ActiveCampaign, AWeber, AdRoll, Autopilot and Zapier. No desktop or phone app is listed. | CWeb only, and no integrations are listed. |
| Best for | ad teams that sign off pages together | a marketing suite with a site builder bolted on |

More comparisons
How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
