The real difference
Gatedleads solves a narrower problem on purpose. Instead of a targeting engine you point at an existing site, it is the page itself, with the gate already part of the page rather than a box layered on top of one.
Where ConvertBox gets in the way of a single gated page
- ConvertBox is built to sit on top of a site you already have, so it does not help if you have not built that page yet
- Targeting rules and box types built for general on-site conversion take time to configure for a single gate
- The gated content and the page it lives on are two separate things to manage, rather than one published page
Why teams pick Gatedleads instead
- The page and the gate are the same thing, published together in one step
- No existing site required to get a gated page live
- A simpler setup for a single lead magnet, without a targeting-rules engine to learn first
- Free to start, with the lead dashboard included from day one

Strong targeting engine, different starting point
If you already have a site and want fine-grained targeting for on-site offers, ConvertBox is a mature choice for that. If you need a gated lead magnet page and do not want to start from an existing site, Gatedleads gets there faster.
Switching from ConvertBox in three steps
Bring the content across
Paste it into the block editor, or start from a template in the same format and swap in your words. It is a good moment to tighten anything that was thin on the old page.
Set the gate and the form
Choose where the free preview ends, what triggers the gate, and whether to ask for a name as well as an email.
Publish and repoint your links
Go live on gatedleads.com/your-page, or your own domain like guide.yourdomain.com on Pro, then update the links, emails and buttons that pointed at the old page.
