The most common Intelligems complaint: price
I'm surprised to see mostly five star reviews for this app. Having previously tested out Shoplift for landing page split testing and AB Convert for price testing, I came to Intelligems hoping to find an all-in-one solution. Unfortunately, it's proven to be a major waste of my time. Here's what I wish I'd known before investing my time into this app: - The UI is complex. - To run a split test on…

Serious problems reviewers reported
Billing disputes, broken stores, misused data and missing features. Each one is a single merchant's account.
Very buggy and test don't actually work even when support spend 2 months trying to make it work until I get tired and had to move on. Intelligems use to be the biggest one for A/B testing but nowadays they are just outdated compare to the new ones.

In conclusion, four days wasted for…
Very bad, I insist for a long time, has experienced constant error, delay, unable to create the test, can't choose the product after test finally launched the first product price, but it's very wonderful is a few hours later I products in the price of shopify concrete was somehow changed, changed to test the price of group B, ridiculous! Customer support is slow to respond, I can never reach…
