Keep Chameleon, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Chameleon you would be making a builder that other people can use without writing code. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 72 of the 100 other website and product analytics tools grade higher. It costs $3,348 a year.
What you could make
- Surveys: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- A builder that other people can use without writing code.
- Splitting visitors between versions and telling you which won.
- It plugs into other products, HubSpot, Salesforce and Mixpanel among them.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. Chameleon’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
