Why switch

Why switch from Nosto to Aqurate

Our strengths, stated plainly.

All features included, no gated modules

Every Aqurate plan includes the full feature set: merchandising controls, analytics, and every recommendation type. Nosto requires buying separate modules for Search, Recommendations, and Content Personalization.

Transparent, order-based pricing

Published, predictable pricing based strictly on monthly order volume. Nosto prices by quote based on GMV, traffic, and module bundles, hidden behind mandatory sales calls and negotiations.

Fast, responsive support

Real people who know your account and shop architecture, not a multi-tier enterprise support queue that bounces you between teams.

Save 15% when you bundle

Get Search and Personalize together for 15% less than buying them separately, keeping your software stack unified and cost-efficient.

No long-term contract lock-in

Cancel-anytime monthly subscriptions, with a tier that follows your monthly orders. Nosto does not publish its contract terms, so ask for the minimum term and renewal pricing in writing before you sign.

Live in 24 hours, zero developer reliance

Connect Aqurate yourself on Shopify, Gomag, MerchantPro, or WooCommerce. No agency sprint capacity needed, no integration delays.
