How did Uber Eats test a benefit list against a benefit grid in its subscription paywall?

Uber Eats tested a denser Uber One benefit list against a four-card grid, while also changing the free-period label, adding a monthly savings claim, and renaming the CTA to Join Uber One. The screenshots show the observed design change, not a measured winner.

The evidence

Lazyweb Research compared Uber Eats control and experiment screenshots from its mobile A/B test library. The experiment replaced a card grid with a list that puts more value claims above the fold and aligns the CTA with membership intent.

What changed

  • Control: a four-card benefit grid, four-week-free framing, and generic Continue CTA.
  • Experiment: a longer benefit list, one-month-free framing, explicit monthly savings, and Join Uber One CTA.
  • The layout shifted from visual grouping to faster vertical scanning.

Why it matters

  • The variant tests whether a vertical list can reduce comparison effort while keeping more benefit detail visible above the fold.
  • A membership-specific CTA makes the intended action more explicit than Continue; teams can test whether that specificity helps their own checkout.
