Alternative
The best Optimizely alternative for e-commerce
Why Salla merchants choose Netaj when they outgrow Optimizely — a native Salla app, Arabic-first, and one platform instead of three.
Netaj gives you Optimizely's core Web Experimentation in a transparent monthly plan, bundled with heatmaps, session recordings, and surveys — and built for Arabic and Salla stores out of the box.

| Native Salla integration | A first-class app in the Salla App Store, tracker injected automatically | Not available — generic JS install only |
| Arabic & RTL support | Built-in: dashboard, editor, and reports in Arabic with full RTL | No native Arabic UI; editor not optimized for RTL |
| Heatmaps included | Included in every plan | Not included — requires a separate tool |

Why teams switch from Optimizely
- One platform replaces Optimizely plus the heatmap, recording, and survey tools you'd need to buy alongside it.
- Public monthly pricing from 99 SAR, billed through your Salla subscription, instead of a $50K+ annual contract gated by a sales call.
- Arabic-first UI and reports — your merchandisers and content team can actually use it without translation gymnastics.
- Live on your Salla store in minutes — install from the Salla App Store, with no developer integration project.
Where Optimizely still wins
- Enterprise-grade feature flagging with progressive rollouts, environments, and SDKs across many languages.
- Mature server-side experimentation for product teams running tests beyond the UI layer.
- Deep statistical rigor — Stats Engine with sequential testing and well-established methodology for high-traffic enterprises.

Frequently asked questions
Is Netaj cheaper than Optimizely?+
Yes — by a large margin. Netaj starts at 99 SAR/month with public pricing billed through your Salla subscription, while Optimizely Web Experimentation is sold on annual enterprise contracts that typically start around $50K/year and scale up from there.
What is the best Optimizely alternative for Salla stores?+
Netaj is purpose-built for Salla stores. You get A/B testing, heatmaps, recordings, and surveys in one app, installed in one click from the Salla App Store — no engineering ticket required.
Does Optimizely support Arabic and RTL?+
Optimizely doesn't ship a native Arabic UI and its visual editor isn't optimized for RTL pages. Netaj is built bilingual EN+AR from day one, with full RTL support in the dashboard, the visual editor, and the reports.
Do I lose statistical rigor by switching to Netaj?+
For the vast majority of e-commerce A/B tests, no. Netaj uses Bayesian and frequentist methods backed by ClickHouse-scale data. If you're running thousands of concurrent tests at enterprise traffic with sequential testing requirements, Optimizely's Stats Engine remains an edge case worth their price tag.
What about feature flags and server-side testing?+
Netaj focuses on client-side experimentation, CRO, and analytics for store owners and growth teams. If your roadmap depends on multi-environment feature flags and server-side SDKs for product engineering, Optimizely or LaunchDarkly will fit better. Most Salla store teams don't need that layer.
