The most common Shoplift complaint: price
The product itself works as advertised. We like the fact variants load without the original-page flash you get with some client-side testing apps. Two reasons I uninstalled. First, pricing. If you run a high-traffic store, the session-based cost gets very expensive very quickly. In our case several times what comparable tools charge. Check the maths carefully against your own traffic profile…

Didn't had the change to run split-tests because bugs. $99,- gone for not even live with the app. First of all, the app is buggy and not worth the cost. It is connected to an outdated theme, and I didn’t even have a chance to try it properly. I tried to run a split-test but for some reason it grab the outdated theme. There is no live chat. I will try Intelegems.
