Perlego boosts onboarding engagement by 477% with Recombee

Perlego, a global digital learning library, faced challenges in delivering effective personalized discovery across its vast academic content catalog. Their existing recommendation system had reliability and scalability issues, and heavy engineering dependency slowed iteration. To improve early activation and long-term retention, Perlego partnered with Recombee to implement its recommender engine.

Recombee provided a flexible and reliable solution, enabling rapid deployment of personalized recommendations across key user journeys like the sign-up funnel and homepage. This self-serve setup reduced engineering dependency and gave Perlego's teams control over promotions. The implementation drove significant results, including a 477% increase in users saving 2+ books during onboarding and a 90% increase in books saved through homepage carousels, greatly improving engagement and conversion.
