At a glance Starts at $29/mo Free trial 14 days Best for Marketing teams and agencies that need campaign landing pages, A/B testing and visitor routing without relying on developers Founded 2009 Website [Official site](https://unbounce.com/) [Visit Unbounce (opens in a new tab) ](https://unbounce.com/?utm%5Fsource=campaignbuyer.com&utm%5Fmedium=affiliate&utm%5Fcampaign=review) Our verdict Unbounce is the pick if you buy Google Ads and live or die on message match, and you can justify the Experiment tier. For search-ad buyers, the single biggest post-click lever is message match: the page headline echoing the exact search the visitor just made. Unbounce's dynamic text does that automatically, and Smart Traffic then routes each visitor to whichever variant converts their kind of traffic best. That combination is why it is still the builder serious PPC teams name first. The catch is where those features live. Starter at $29/mo covers pages and forms only. DTR and A/B testing start at the Experiment plan ($149/mo), and automatic routing at Optimize ($249), so budget for the tier that carries the feature your campaigns use. The builder is also the most complained-about part. Fixed-section layouts, awkward custom HTML and mobile-layout problems come up often enough that one widely-read thread simply called it a nightmare. Visitor caps add overage anxiety as you scale. If that lever is central to your campaigns, Unbounce is still worth it. If it is not, Leadpages does the rest for less. ### Unbounce in the interface Unbounce's four plans. The message-match and split-test features arrive on Experiment, not the entry Starter plan, so price the tier you actually need. ### Pros and cons ##### What works * The page headline updates to match each search query, the core PPC lever * Smart Traffic routes each visitor to the variant most likely to convert them * A large template library and a mature builder ##### What to watch * Dynamic text and split testing start on the $149/mo Experiment plan, about five times the $29 Starter price * Monthly unique-visitor caps bring overage anxiety at scale * The builder frustrates on fixed-section layout and mobile, enough that some users call it painful #### What buyers keep saying Research: unverified ##### Fast campaign launches without engineering ↑ frequently praised Users who value marketer control consistently describe Unbounce as easier than building and maintaining campaign pages themselves, with testing features already included. > “I've used Unbounce before too (and it was a good experience). I host things in Azure myself now, but Unbounce has a lot more features.” Hacker News commenter [Hackernews: Ask HN: Best landing page builder? ](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13186581) Dec 2016 > “Github pages is nice, night be hard to set up email entry for a less-technical user. Most of the non-technical friends I have enjoy using Unbounce.” Hacker News commenter [Hackernews: Ask HN: Best landing page builder? ](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13186581) Dec 2016 > “Overall Unbounce is a complete landing page builder and works great for testing new marketing campaigns.” Creative Director [Capterra: Unbounce reviews ](https://www.capterra.com/p/145639/Unbounce/reviews/) ##### Easy to start, fiddly on mobile The builder is approachable for non-technical users, but critical reviewers describe extra work on mobile layouts and question whether the resulting pages justify the subscription price. > “Github pages is nice, night be hard to set up email entry for a less-technical user.
