Netalico alternative: a CRO team focused on your paid traffic
Netalico is a Shopify Plus Premier Partner that runs CRO for mid-market and enterprise DTC brands, alongside Shopify Plus development and migrations. It's also one of the few agencies that publishes its CRO retainer range. ClickMint is a done-for-you CRO agency focused on the paid traffic you already buy, with performance-based pricing.
If you're comparing the two, you've probably decided conversion work is worth paying for. The question is whether you want it on a fixed monthly retainer from a Shopify Plus development partner, or from a team dedicated to what your paid visitors see after the click.
Both are reasonable choices. This page sets out what each company says it does, so you can pick the one that fits.
The short answer
Netalico
Choose Netalico if you're a mid-market or enterprise DTC brand on Shopify Plus and want a published, fixed monthly retainer you can budget for.
ClickMint
Choose ClickMint if you're a DTC brand typically doing $200k+/mo in online sales with $15k+/mo in ad spend, paid traffic is your growth engine, and you'd rather pay on performance than a fixed monthly retainer.
How each one works
Netalico: a Shopify Plus Premier Partner with a CRO program
Netalico describes itself as a Shopify Plus Premier Partner and ecommerce CRO agency for mid-market and enterprise DTC brands doing $2M to $50M GMV. It says its team is fully in-house in the Americas, works US hours and subcontracts nothing. Netalico says it was founded in 2011. Its Shopify Partner Directory listing gives Miami as its primary location and shows it as a partner since January 2016, and its team page lists people across the US, Brazil and Canada.
Netalico says every CRO engagement starts with a CRO audit of your analytics, heatmaps, session recordings and funnel, which becomes a roadmap ranked by projected revenue lift. Its team then makes the fixes and runs an ongoing A/B testing program across product pages, cart and checkout. As a Shopify Plus partner, it says it uses Plus features like Checkout Extensibility and Scripts to test and personalize checkout. You work with a dedicated project manager and get regular reporting on what was tested, what won and what's next.
Netalico publishes its pricing: a monthly CRO retainer from $2,700 to $10,000, with the average client around $4,500 a month, plus one-time audits and fixed-scope projects. It says most brands see early wins within 60 to 90 days. Beyond CRO, it offers Shopify Plus development, migrations from Magento, BigCommerce and WooCommerce, ADA compliance scans, Core Web Vitals audits and technical SEO.
How ClickMint works
ClickMint is a done-for-you CRO agency for DTC brands that grow on paid traffic, typically doing $200k+/mo in online sales with $15k+/mo in ad spend. The managed service is what you buy. Your team reviews and approves the work instead of doing it.
- Setup. Your team adds one lightweight snippet. We don't need access to your store, and read access to your analytics is optional.
- Diagnose. We look channel by channel at where paid visitors drop off after the click.
- Design. We turn each issue into a test variant for the pages that traffic lands on.
- Test. Every variant runs as an A/B test against a control and is judged on revenue per user and conversion rate. Our typical time from issue to live test is about 3 hours.
- Scale what wins. If a variant doesn't beat the control, it doesn't go any further.
You get plain-English reporting on what won, what lost and what's next. ClickMint is built for Shopify brands, and it also works with WooCommerce and Adobe Commerce. The vast majority of our brands sell on Shopify.
