Duelpilot vs Unbounce (Smart Traffic)

A landing-page builder for marketers and agencies whose Smart Traffic AI routes each visitor to the variant most likely to convert, now with an MCP server. Duelpilot is A/B testing run by your own AI agent over MCP, with a person approving every launch. Both can be used by an AI agent over MCP. The biggest difference is who launches: in Unbounce (Smart Traffic) an agent can start tests itself, in Duelpilot a person approves (or an owner's autopilot policy, within guardrails). Unbounce (Smart Traffic) is priced by traffic (visitors or users); Duelpilot is flat per site, without AI credits.

What Unbounce (Smart Traffic) does well

Unlimited conversions on all plans (unbounce.com/pricing).

What Duelpilot does well

Your own agent does the research, design, checks and monitoring over MCP (48 tools); no AI bill from Duelpilot.
A person approves every launch: no MCP tool can approve, launch, pick a winner or ship.
Always-valid sequential statistics (mSPRT) with Holm correction, sample-ratio-mismatch checks and guardrail metrics.
Every variant gets a preview link and a site check on phone, tablet and desktop before anyone can approve it.
Flat price per site, published, from €9/month, and your first test is free on every plan; no visitor meters.

Where Duelpilot falls short

You need an AI agent that speaks MCP; without one there is no visual editor to build variants by hand.
No heatmaps or session recordings: Duelpilot counts results and sends variants to your own analytics.
A young product (2026): fewer integrations and a shorter track record than established tools.
