Read this page as one judge. Each weighs the same scores by what they care about.

The Product Engineer

Weighted verdict

Ships experiments behind feature flags and would rather not ship a third-party script at all. Wants server-side SDKs for the stack in use, edge delivery, metrics computed in the warehouse the team already trusts, and an API good enough to build internal tooling on.

Same scores as the panel view — this lens weights them the way this judge cares.

Scored by The Product Engineer

Experiment types & delivery

How this is scored

What can be tested and where: client-side changes through an editor, server-side and feature experiments through SDKs, multivariate and multi-page tests, and personalisation — judged on what the documentation shows rather than on the feature grid.

0 — Simple A/B split of one page element through a visual editor; no server-side option, no targeting beyond URL.

3 — Client-side A/B and split-URL tests with basic audience targeting, and no SDK or server-side delivery.

5 — Client-side and server-side experiments through documented SDKs for common languages, multivariate and multi-page tests, audience targeting on behaviour and attributes, and rule-based personalisation.

8 — Feature-flag-based experiments sharing one audience and metric model with web tests, mutually exclusive experiment groups, holdouts, edge or CDN delivery, and personalisation that can itself be tested against a control.

10 — One experimentation programme across every surface: web, app, server and edge from the same platform, experiment interactions managed, a documented experiment lifecycle from hypothesis to archived result, and a library of past results a team can search.

Report an error

The Product Engineer

Standard A/B, dynamic and multivariate tests are documented, server-side delivery is real — the Engine API powers omnichannel experiences and the docs call a back-end integration the best option for flicker — and personalisation suites sit alongside the testing product. Beyond a bare SDKs entry in the API surface I found no public information on which SDK languages are documented, and nothing on feature flags, holdouts, mutually exclusive experiments or edge delivery, so this lands at the client-plus-server baseline rather than above it. 1 5 9 11 12

Statistical method & guardrails

How this is scored

Which statistics decide the winner and what protects the customer from misreading them. Scored on what the vendor documents: the method by name, how peeking and multiple comparisons are handled, and whether sample ratio mismatch is detected.

0 — A "winner" or "probability to beat" figure with no documented method, no stated sample-size guidance and no warning against stopping early.

3 — The method is named (frequentist or Bayesian) but its assumptions are not documented, and nothing prevents a test from being called while it is still underpowered.

5 — Documented method with confidence or credible intervals, a sample-size or test-duration calculator, and stated guidance on when a result may be read.

8 — Sequential testing or an equivalent documented protection against peeking, correction for multiple metrics or variants, sample ratio mismatch detection, variance reduction such as CUPED, and guardrail metrics that can stop a harmful test.

10 — The statistics are auditable: methodology published in enough detail to reproduce a result, the choice of method explained per use case, raw per-visitor data available for independent re-analysis, and the interface refuses to present an underpowered result as a conclusion.

Report an error

The Product Engineer

Confidence is documented at 90, 95 and 99 percent with a plain definition, the factors that move it, and a novelty-effect caution about results degrading over time — more than a bare winner badge. But I found no public information naming the underlying method as frequentist or Bayesian, on a sample-size calculator, or on any protection against peeking, multiple comparisons or sample ratio mismatch, and nothing on guardrail metrics or variance reduction. 6 7

Consent & visitor tracking

How this is scored

Whether the test script respects §25 TDDDG and the ePrivacy rules as evidenced on the vendor's own pages: when the script runs relative to consent, what it stores on the device, whether a cookieless or consent-free mode exists, and how visitor identifiers are handled.

0 — Nothing on the vendor's pages says what the script stores on the device or whether it runs before consent; consent is described as the customer's problem.

3 — Cookies or local storage are listed, and a consent integration is mentioned, but the documentation does not say what the script does before consent is given.

5 — Documented behaviour before and after consent, integration with common consent management platforms, a published list of cookies and storage keys with their lifetime, and IP anonymisation described.

8 — A documented consent-pending mode that holds tracking until consent while variants can still be served, a cookieless or first-party-only option, retention of visitor data stated, and guidance on the legal basis for testing in the EU.

10 — Built for §25 TDDDG: the default configuration stores nothing on the device without consent, a server-side or cookieless mode documented end to end, per-visitor data deletable on request, and the vendor states in writing how each mode maps to consent requirements.

Report an error

The Product Engineer

The privacy policy lists session and persistent cookies, pins processing to legitimate interests under Article 6(1)(f), and states that Do Not Track signals are not honored, while the implementation docs recommend the synchronous tag placed as high in the header as possible. I found no public information on what the script does before consent is given, on a consent-pending or cookieless mode, on cookie lifetimes, on IP anonymisation, or on consent management platform integration. 3 9 10

Snippet performance & flicker

How this is scored

The cost the client-side snippet imposes on the page it tests: blocking load, flicker of original content, script weight and the effect on Core Web Vitals — scored on what the vendor measures and publishes, not on "lightning fast".

0 — A synchronous snippet with no stated size, no flicker handling and no mention of performance.

3 — An anti-flicker snippet that hides the page until the test loads, with a timeout, and no published figures for script size or load cost.

5 — Script size and loading behaviour documented, asynchronous loading option, flicker handling explained with its trade-off, and CDN delivery of the snippet.

8 — Published performance figures including impact on Core Web Vitals, a self-hosting or first-party-domain option for the script, per-project bundles containing only active experiments, and a server-side or edge alternative for flicker-sensitive tests.

10 — Performance is a stated commitment: measured overhead published and maintained, flicker eliminated by edge or server-side rendering as a documented path, and tooling that shows the customer what their own configuration costs the page.

Report an error

The Product Engineer

Flicker handling is genuinely well documented: content masking through CSS visibility, the honest trade-off that only the synchronous tag supports masking, an asynchronous tag option, a browser plug-in for troubleshooting, and a server-side path the docs say can completely eliminate flicker. I found no public information on script weight, load cost, Core Web Vitals impact, self-hosting or per-project bundles — and the recommendation to load a synchronous tag at the top of the head is the opposite of what I would ship. 9 10

Analytics, data export & integrations

How this is scored

Getting results and raw data out: integration with analytics and tag management, export of visitor-level results, warehouse-native analysis, and an API — because an experiment result that cannot be checked in the customer's own data is a claim, not a finding.

0 — Results visible in the vendor's dashboard only; no export, no analytics integration, no API.

3 — CSV export of aggregated results and one analytics integration, with no visitor-level data and no documented API.

5 — Integrations with common analytics and tag managers, export of results, and a documented API for managing experiments and reading results.

8 — Visitor-level raw data export or streaming to a data warehouse, warehouse-native analysis on the customer's own metrics, CDP integration for audiences, and an API with stated limits.

10 — The platform treats the customer's warehouse as the source of truth: metrics defined once and computed there, full historical experiment data exportable in open formats, and a versioned API a team can build its own programme tooling on.

Report an error

The Product Engineer

Ready-made integrations with Google Analytics and Contentsquare, further support for Adobe and IBM analytics, custom JavaScript hooks, and a documented multi-API surface covering Engine, Data, Auth and Metadata clear the documented-API bar. The evidenced Data API operations are schema and catalog work though — I found no public information on visitor-level export, warehouse-native analysis, CDP audiences or stated API limits, and the documented paths out otherwise route through reporting-label pushes and a purchase audit via the customer success manager. 11 12

European sovereignty

How this is scored

Where visitor data is processed and stored and who the contracting entity is. Independently sourced by the sovereignty pipeline; weighted higher here than in categories that hold only the customer's own data, because the script runs on every visitor to the customer's site and their behaviour is what the platform records.

0 — Non-EU vendor and contracting entity, hosting unstated, subprocessors unnamed, and visitor data leaving the EU without a stated safeguard.

3 — EU data residency offered as an option or an enterprise add-on while the contracting entity is non-EU, or the subprocessor list is absent.

5 — EU processing of visitor data as standard and an EU contracting entity, but parts of the chain — CDN, support access, analytics — are non-EU without an explained safeguard.

8 — EU hosting on named infrastructure including the delivery of the snippet, EU contracting entity, subprocessor list published, and a DPA covering the visitor data the script collects.

10 — Sovereign end to end and evidenced: vendor, entity, hosting, snippet delivery and every subprocessor European, certification published, and no visitor data reaching a non-EU party at any point.

Report an error

The Product Engineer

Monetate, Inc. is the contracting entity, the policy contemplates sharing personal data with a UK subsidiary, and the Do Not Track refusal plus US provenance give no EU anchor for the tag that runs on every visitor. I found no public information on hosting location, data residency options, a subprocessor list or a DPA covering the visitor data the script collects, so the invoice for sovereignty is entirely open. 3 4

Pricing transparency not rated — the vendor publishes no price

How this is scored

A category priced by traffic — monthly tracked users, visitors or impressions — where the tier a site lands in depends on numbers the buyer has to estimate. Whether a buyer can compute the real annual cost including traffic limits, overage, server-side or personalisation modules and seats — from public pages alone.

0 — No public prices at all; every tier is a sales conversation.

3 — A starting price or a free tier exists, but the traffic metric, the limits and what happens above them are unstated — the invoice is unknowable.

5 — Tier prices public with the traffic metric and its limits defined, but at least one commonly needed piece (server-side SDKs, personalisation, overage) is unpriced or "contact sales".

8 — Every tier priced publicly with the traffic metric defined, limits, overage rates, module prices, minimum term and VAT treatment stated.

10 — Complete price computability: annual invoice derivable for a given traffic volume, set of modules and team size, with overage and every add-on published.

Report an error

The Product Engineer

A pricing page exists but I found no public information on tier prices, the traffic metric, limits, overage, modules or seats on it — the captured pages give the buyer nothing to compute with. That fits the fully managed Concierge positioning, but it means the annual cost is a sales conversation from the first click. 1 2
