These tools track actions like clicks, page views, purchases, and time spent, then group users into segments based on their behavior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For instance, imagine a visitor browses winter jackets on an eCommerce site and adds one to their cart but doesn\u2019t check out. A behavioral targeting tool can automatically trigger targeted messages, such as a follow-up email reminding them about the jacket, possibly with a limited-time discount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the same user later returns to the site, they might also see personalized product recommendations based on their earlier browsing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2400\" height=\"1364\" src=\"https:\/\/static.wingify.com\/gcp\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/05\/1-6.jpg\" alt=\"Illustration on behavioral targeting \" class=\"wp-image-97835\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static.wingify.com\/gcp\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/05\/1-6.jpg 2400w, https:\/\/static.wingify.com\/gcp\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/05\/1-6.jpg?tr=w-1600 1600w, https:\/\/static.wingify.com\/gcp\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/05\/1-6.jpg?tr=w-1366 1366w, https:\/\/static.wingify.com\/gcp\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/05\/1-6.jpg?tr=w-1024 1024w, https:\/\/static.wingify.com\/gcp\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/05\/1-6.jpg?tr=w-768 768w, https:\/\/static.wingify.com\/gcp\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/05\/1-6.jpg?tr=w-640 640w, https:\/\/static.wingify.com\/gcp\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/05\/1-6.jpg?tr=w-375 375w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2400px) 100vw, 2400px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Behavioral targeting tools help brands increase engagement, improve conversion rates, and improve overall marketing ROI by delivering timely, relevant messages like these and more relevant ads.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"js-cro-guide-subheading gtm_heading \" data-level=\"level1\" data-menu=\"Best behavioral targeting tools - A quick look\" id=\"best-behavioral-targeting-tools-a-quick-look\" data-menu-id=\"best-behavioral-targeting-tools-a-quick-look\" style=\"text-align:left\"><strong>Best behavioral targeting tools &#8211; A quick look<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<ul class=\"simpletoc-list\">\n  <li class=\"selected\"><a href=\"#1-vwo\">VWO<\/a><\/li>\n  <li class=\"\"><a href=\"#2-segment\">Segment<\/a><\/li>\n  <li class=\"\"><a href=\"#3-insider\">Insider<\/a><\/li>\n  <li class=\"\"><a href=\"#4-monetate\">Monetate<\/a><\/li>\n  <li class=\"\"><a href=\"#5-klaviyo\">Klaviyo<\/a><\/li>\n  <li class=\"\"><a href=\"#6-clevertap\">CleverTap<\/a><\/li>\n  <li class=\"\"><a href=\"#7-omnisend\">Omnisend<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Disclaimer: The pros and cons listed are based on reviews and feedback from third-party sites such as G2, TrustRadius, and other sources.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"js-cro-guide-subheading gtm_heading \" data-level=\"level1\" data-menu=\"Top behavioral targeting tools\u00a0\u00a0\" id=\"top-behavioral-targeting-tools\" data-menu-id=\"top-behavioral-targeting-tools\" style=\"text-align:left\"><strong>Top behavioral targeting tools\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<h3 class=\"js-cro-guide-subheading gtm_heading \" data-level=\"level2\" data-menu=\"1.

Marketers can then create rule-based segments using attributes like device, location, on-site behavior (e.g., scroll depth, product views), or external data such as UTM tags.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next in the workflow, VWO Personalize enables real-time targeting of these segments based on user behavior, such as time spent on a page or refresh actions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-vwo-gutenberg-vwo-protip\"><div id=\"vwo-gutenberg\"><div class=\"vwo-protip-section\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.wingify.com\/gcp\/uploads\/2024\/05\/icon-bulb.svg\" width=\"36\" height=\"42\" \/><div><strong class=\"vwo-protip-heading\">Pro Tip!<\/strong><p class=\"vwo-protip-content\">Easily identify high-performing user segments with VWO Copilot.

Marketers can trigger A\/B tests based on user actions like button clicks, exit intent, or scroll activity. In other words, visitors become eligible for a test only when they meet the behavioral conditions you\u2019ve set, which can then inform your advertising campaigns. This makes your test more contextually relevant and insightful.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After a test is run, you can perform post-segmentation analysis by breaking down the results based on the segments you&#8217;ve defined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Learn how JellyTelly used VWO\u2019s segmentation and A\/B testing to personalize its homepage for new visitors, <a href=\"https:\/\/vwo.com\/success-stories\/jellytelly\/\">driving a 105% increase in visits to the sign-up page<\/a> by delivering content that truly resonated.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Features&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Unified customer profiles, Advanced segmentation, Real-time metrics and triggers, Visual Editor, Code Editor, VWO Copilot, Behavior Analytics, Feature Management, Program Management\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Pricing<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Free trial: 30 days, inclusive of all features<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Free: Up to 5k MTUs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Paid:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Insights start from $199\/month.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Personalization starts from $234\/month.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Testing starts from $220\/month.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Pros:<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Easy-to-use reporting with clear filters that make data analysis simple and effective.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Supportive team that actively helps and encourages progress with testing efforts.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Cons:<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Predictive personalization isn\u2019t a primary offering yet, but it\u2019s on the roadmap.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"js-cro-guide-subheading gtm_heading \" data-level=\"level2\" data-menu=\"2.
