What VWO reviewers say
I would like Mobile testing in the free plan. We are not able to make updates on mobile and desktop separately in a free plan while setting split URL testing.

If you're testing a full page, sometimes there is a flicker when the old page loads before the new one causing a weird experience.

Sometimes the tool can feel a bit slow when loading reports or switching between tests.
