Why Behavio over Zappi

Why Behavio's ad testing is a strong Zappi alternative

You get a decision, not just a percentile

A Zappi test can tell you a concept landed in the 45th percentile against category norms. It does not tell you why, or what would move it to 70. Behavio scores every ad on Brand, Need, and Emotion, then hands you a clear recommendation on what to keep and what to fix, so you walk into the edit suite with an answer, not an argument.

Priced and packaged for growing brands

Zappi is built for enterprise CPG programs, with custom pricing and a sales cycle before your first test. Behavio starts at €3,000 for a single pre-test, so a lean team can validate one campaign this week without signing an enterprise contract. When you're ready to test more, per-test pricing drops on higher plans.

Second-by-second detail, plus a human to read it

Behavio tracks brand and message recall second by second across your video, so you can see the exact moment attention or branding drops. And because higher tiers include expert consultation, you are never left staring at a dashboard wondering what it means. That combination, granular data plus expert guidance, is what makes the result actionable.
