VQB: AI Product Quiz Builder is a popular Shopify app lauded for its AI-powered product recommendations and zero-party data collection. However, some merchants may seek alternatives in 2026 due to several reasons. The cost of VQB, especially as businesses scale and require more complex quiz logic or integrations, can be a concern. The app's emphasis on AI may be overkill for simpler product recommendation needs, and some merchants might prefer more direct control over the recommendation process or find the customization options limiting.
Boost sales with personalized, on-brand quizzes that engage customers and capture zero-party data.
