Quick Start
The Best Framer A/B-Testing Alternative for 2025
Framer's new A/B testing feature offers seamless integration but requires business plans starting at CA$100+ monthly. Humblytics provides a cost-effective alternative starting at $39/month with unlimited data retention and cross-platform flexibility that works beyond just Framer sites.
Analytics for Webflow Sites
1. The Current Landscape: Framer Delivers Impressive Native A/B Testing
Framer's recent Advanced Analytics release introduces sophisticated A/B testing capabilities that designers have been eagerly awaiting. The implementation is genuinely impressive—offering no-code setup in under a minute, real-time results, and a Bayesian statistical approach that rivals dedicated testing platforms.
What Makes Framer A/B Testing Special
Framer has built something remarkable with their native testing:
Lightning-fast setup: Designers can launch tests in under 60 seconds with zero coding required
Performance optimized: No site slowdowns, flickering, or layout shifts during variant loading
Advanced statistics: Uses Bayesian analysis with 90% confidence thresholds for reliable results
Multi-locale support: Tests work seamlessly across different geographic regions
Up to 5 variants: Test multiple variations of the same page simultaneously
Cookie-free by default: Uses daily anonymous identifiers instead of persistent cookies
Framer A/B Testing Pricing Structure
Available as an Advanced Analytics add-on for Launch or Scale plan subscribers:
Monthly Events | Advanced Analytics Price | Total Cost (Launch Plan) |
---|---|---|
Up to 25,000 | Free | CA$100/month |
25,000–500,000 | $50/month* | CA$100 + $50 |
Over 500,000 | +$100 per 500k events | CA$100 + $150+ |
*Pricing is localized and billed annually in USD. Requires Launch (CA$100) or Scale (CA$270) plan.
Where Framer's A/B Testing Shows Limitations
Despite its polished implementation, Framer's approach has constraints that become apparent as your testing needs evolve:
1. Platform Lock-in Your entire testing infrastructure lives within Framer's ecosystem. If you ever need to test on WordPress, Shopify, or custom applications, you're starting from scratch with a completely different tool.
2. Daily Conversion Windows Framer's cookie-free approach limits conversion tracking to same-day sessions. For businesses with longer sales cycles or complex customer journeys, this restriction can miss crucial conversion patterns.
3. Plan Requirement Barrier Even with the "free" 25k events, you need a minimum CA$100 monthly Framer plan to access any A/B testing functionality—creating a high entry point for smaller projects.
4. Limited Advanced Features While Framer covers core A/B testing well, it lacks sophisticated features like multivariate testing, advanced audience segmentation, or cross-domain experiments that growing businesses eventually require.
2. Introducing Humblytics: A/B Testing Built for Scale and Flexibility
Humblytics takes a different approach—prioritizing cross-platform flexibility, advanced analytics, and predictable scaling costs. This 36KB solution integrates with any website through a single script tag while providing enterprise-grade experimentation capabilities.

Advanced Capabilities Where Humblytics Excels
Cross-Domain Funnel Analysis Humblytics enables comprehensive funnel tracking across your entire customer journey—from your Framer marketing site to your Shopify checkout to your React dashboard. This cross-domain capability provides insights into how A/B test changes impact your complete conversion process, not just individual page performance.
Cross-Platform Experimentation While Framer's testing is excellent within their ecosystem, Humblytics enables sophisticated testing across your entire digital presence—from your Framer marketing site to your React web app to your Shopify checkout flow.
Multivariate Testing Test multiple page elements simultaneously to understand interaction effects. For example, simultaneously test headline variations AND button colors to discover which combinations perform best together.
Advanced Statistical Methods Both platforms use Bayesian analysis, but Humblytics provides additional flexibility in how statistical significance is calculated and interpreted, allowing for more nuanced experiment design and analysis.
Advanced Audience Segmentation Create experiments targeted at specific user segments—new vs. returning visitors, geographic regions, traffic sources, or custom properties based on your business logic.

6. Frequently Asked Questions
Technical Compatibility
Q: Can I use both Framer and Humblytics A/B testing simultaneously? A: Yes, but avoid testing the same page elements to prevent traffic dilution. You might use Framer for quick design tests and Humblytics for complex funnel analysis.
Q: How does Humblytics compare to Framer's performance optimization? A: Both are performance-focused. Humblytics' 36KB script loads asynchronously with zero impact on Core Web Vitals, similar to Framer's optimized implementation.
Q: What about data migration between platforms? A: Humblytics can import conversion data from most analytics platforms. Historical Framer test data can be exported and referenced for context in future experiments.
Privacy and Compliance
Q: How do the cookie-free approaches differ? A: Framer uses daily anonymous identifiers, while Humblytics uses session-based tracking. Both avoid traditional cookies, but Humblytics enables longer conversion windows.
Q: Which is better for GDPR compliance? A: Both are GDPR-friendly, but Humblytics' session-based approach may be more conservative. Consult legal counsel for your specific requirements.
Business Considerations
Q: When should I stick with Framer's native testing? A: If you're exclusively on Framer, need the simplest possible setup, and your conversions happen within the same day, Framer's native testing is excellent.
Q: What's the migration path if I outgrow Framer's testing? A: Humblytics can run alongside Framer initially, then gradually take over more complex experiments as your needs evolve.
7. The Strategic Decision Framework
Choose Framer A/B Testing When:
You're committed to the Framer ecosystem long-term
Budget includes CA$100+ monthly for Launch/Scale plans anyway
Testing needs are primarily visual/UX focused
Same-day conversions represent your typical customer journey
Team values ultra-simple setup over advanced features
Choose Humblytics When:
Cost efficiency is a priority (especially under CA$100/month budgets)
You need cross-platform testing capabilities
Customer journeys extend beyond single-day sessions
Advanced experimentation (multivariate, segmentation) is valuable
Long-term data retention and analysis is important
You're managing multiple sites or client properties
The Hybrid Approach:
Many organizations start with Framer's native testing for quick wins, then add Humblytics for more sophisticated experiments. This approach lets you leverage Framer's simplicity while accessing advanced capabilities when needed.
8. Conclusion: Both Tools Excel in Different Contexts
Framer has built genuinely impressive A/B testing capabilities that integrate beautifully with their design platform. The no-code setup, performance optimization, and real-time analytics represent the kind of polished experience Framer is known for.
However, the platform requirements and same-day conversion limitations create natural boundaries around where Framer testing fits in your growth strategy.
Humblytics provides the complementary capabilities that growing businesses eventually need:
✅ Cross-platform flexibility that scales with your business
✅ Cross-domain funnel analysis that reveals complete customer journeys
✅ Advanced experimentation methods beyond basic A/B testing
✅ Predictable costs that don't penalize success with traffic growth
✅ Unlimited data retention for strategic analysis and learning
