The panel's verdict

Plerdy, a conversion-optimisation platform, comes out of this bench strongest on statistics and weakest on performance. Statistical rigour scores cluster at 4 to 5: the free significance and sample-size calculators name frequentist and Bayesian framings and publish their formula and finite-population correction, though we found no public information on peeking protection or sample ratio mismatch detection. Performance impact scores sit at 1 — the only claim captured is "Zero Server Load" beside a required tracking code, with no public information on script size, loading behaviour or Core Web Vitals impact. Experimentation scope scores run 2 to 3, a client-side tool with HTML/CSS variants, targeting by device, country and traffic source, and no public evidence of server-side SDKs, multivariate or split-URL tests. Consent and tracking splits 2 to 3: the no-cookies statement and local-storage list earn credit, while no public information exists on storage lifetimes or pre-consent script behaviour. Sovereignty sits at 3 with the data protection officer at 4 — Germany-hosted Hetzner infrastructure against an unstated contracting-entity jurisdiction — and no prices are public beyond a free 14-day trial.

Speaks for it

  • Free statistical significance and sample-size calculators publish their formula, finite-population correction and stated assumptions such as simple random sampling and independent observations.
  • Client-side tests offer audience targeting by device type, country and traffic source with per-test end dates and running, concluded or draft statuses.
  • The privacy policy states no cookies are used, lists local-storage contents such as user sessions and traffic channels, and says that data is not shared with third parties.
  • The security policy states the server sits in Germany in a Hetzner data centre certified to ISO 27001.
  • Documented integrations cover Google Analytics 4 event goals, Google Search Console, a Shopify App Store listing and read-only AI access through Claude and ChatGPT.

Report an error

Held against it

  • Performance impact scores sit at 1, and the only claim captured is 'Zero Server Load' with no public information on script size, loading behaviour, flicker handling or Core Web Vitals impact.
  • We found no public information on server-side SDKs, feature flags, multivariate, split-URL or multi-page tests, holdouts or personalisation.
  • We found no public information on what the tracking script does before a visitor consents, on consent management platform integrations, on storage lifetimes or on IP anonymisation.
  • We found no public information on a documented API, result export or visitor-level data, so a reported lift can be checked only in the vendor's dashboard and GA4.
  • We found no public information on the contracting entity's jurisdiction or a subprocessor list, transfers are described only by category, and Cloudflare supplies the SSL certificate.

Report an error

Best for

  • You need no-code client-side A/B tests that marketers can build from HTML and CSS tweaks without a developer.
  • You want test-planning statistics spelled out publicly — sample-size formulas, significance conventions, power — so you can defend the numbers internally.
  • Your stack is already Google Analytics 4 and Shopify and documented event-goal wiring and an app-store listing matter to you.
  • You require hosting that the vendor itself states is in Germany, on Hetzner infrastructure certified to ISO 27001, as a baseline.

Report an error

Avoid if

  • Your programme needs server-side or SDK delivery, feature flags, or multivariate and split-URL tests; experimentation scope scores sit at 2 to 3 for a client-side tool.
  • Your data protection officer must sign off on pre-consent script behaviour, storage lifetimes and a subprocessor list before deployment; consent and tracking scores spread 2 to 3.

Experiment types & delivery

Show reasoning
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 Growth Lead

The captured pages show client-side A/B tests with variant editing through an easy HTML/CSS interface and targeting by device type, country and traffic source — that is genuine audience targeting beyond the URL and about what my marketers can run without a developer. Beyond that the documentation stops: I found no public information on server-side SDKs, multivariate or multi-page tests, or personalisation. 3

Report an error

The E-Commerce Manager

The A/B tool page shows client-side tests edited through HTML and CSS tweaks, audience targeting by device, country and traffic source, and statuses of running, concluded or draft — all delivered through an extra tracking code. We found no public information on server-side or SDK delivery, multivariate or split-URL tests, and none on personalisation that can be tested against a control, which is the thing I actually buy for. 3 4

Report an error

The Product Engineer

What is documented is a client-side editor: variants are HTML and CSS tweaks, targeting covers device type, country and traffic source, and delivery needs an extra tracking code placed on the page. I found no public information on server-side SDKs, feature flags, multivariate or multi-page tests, holdouts or personalisation, so this is a client-side tool and nothing more. 3

Report an error

The CRO Consultant

The A/B testing pages show client-side tests with HTML and CSS variant edits, audience targeting by device type, country and traffic source, and test statuses from draft through running to concluded. I found no public information on split-URL, multivariate or multi-page tests, personalisation, or any SDK or server-side delivery. 3 4

Report an error

The Data Protection Officer

The documentation shows client-side A/B tests edited through HTML and CSS tweaks, audience targeting by device type, country and traffic source, and per-test end dates with statuses of running, concluded or draft. I found no public information on server-side or SDK delivery, split-URL tests, multivariate tests, feature flags, holdouts or edge delivery. 3

Report an error

The Skeptic

The captured A/B testing pages show a client-side tool: variants built from HTML and CSS tweaks, a required tracking code, a test end date, and targeting by device type, country and traffic source. We found no public information on server-side SDKs, feature flags, multivariate or multi-page tests, holdouts or mutual exclusion, so the evidence supports client-side delivery with basic audience targeting and no public evidence of anything beyond it. 3

Statistical method & guardrails

Show reasoning
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 Growth Lead

The vendor publishes a free significance calculator that names the method — a frequentist p-value view alongside a Bayesian framing — with alpha 0.05, one- and two-sided testing, power explained, and a separate sample-size calculator whose assumptions are spelled out, which is groundwork I could defend to the board. However, I found no public information on protections against peeking, corrections for multiple variants or metrics, or sample ratio mismatch detection. 4 5

Report an error

The E-Commerce Manager

The calculator pages document their method by name — a frequentist p-value with a Bayesian view alongside — and the sample size tool publishes its formula, finite population correction and assumptions, with power and the 0.05 convention explained for when a result may be read. We found no public information on protection against peeking, on correction for multiple metrics or variants, or on sample ratio mismatch detection, so the stopping decision stays mine alone. 4 5

Report an error

The Product Engineer

The free calculators do more than most: both frequentist and Bayesian views are named, p-values are read against alpha 0.05 with one- and two-sided options, statistical power is discussed, and a sample-size calculator documents its assumptions including simple random sampling and finite population correction. Those are calculator pages rather than evidence of how the platform guards a live test, though — I found no public information on peeking protection, correction for multiple metrics or variants, or sample ratio mismatch detection. 4 5

Report an error

The CRO Consultant

Both a statistical significance calculator and a sample-size calculator are published free, with the frequentist and Bayesian framings explained, assumptions written out (simple random sampling, independent observations, finite population correction), and guidance on when a result may be read (p-value against the 0.05 convention, power, one- or two-sided choice). I found no public information on protections against peeking, multiple-comparison correction, sample ratio mismatch detection or guardrail metrics in the product's own reporting. 4 5

Report an error

The Data Protection Officer

The sample-size calculator publishes its formula, finite-population correction and assumptions (simple random sampling, independent observations), and the significance calculator explains p-values, one- and two-sided tests, alpha 0.05 and statistical power, with guidance on when a result may be read. I found no public information on protection against peeking, multiple-comparison correction, sample ratio mismatch detection, variance reduction or guardrail metrics. 4 5

Report an error

The Skeptic

The significance calculator names a frequentist p-value test with alpha 0.05, one- and two-sided options and statistical power, and the sample-size calculator publishes its formula, finite-population correction and assumptions — more method than most vendors show. But we found no public information on sequential testing or any guard against peeking, multiple-comparison correction, or sample ratio mismatch detection, and the worked example pronounces "I am 99% certain" without documenting the machinery behind that number; I read that as marketing, not method. 4 5

Snippet performance & flicker

Show reasoning
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 Growth Lead

The only performance claim I can find is "Zero Server Load", which speaks to the customer's server rather than to what the required tracking code costs the visitor's page. I found no public information on script size, asynchronous loading, flicker handling or any Core Web Vitals figures. 3 2

Report an error

The E-Commerce Manager

The one performance figure on the captured pages is "Zero Server Load", which speaks to my server and says nothing about what the client snippet costs the product page. We found no public information on script size, asynchronous loading, anti-flicker handling or Core Web Vitals impact — for a shop where a tenth of a second shows in the conversion rate, that is the first thing I would have to test at my own risk. 3

Report an error

The Product Engineer

The testing page claims zero server load and requires an extra tracking code on the page, but I found no public information on script size, loading behaviour, flicker handling, self-hosting or any measured effect on Core Web Vitals. A performance claim with no published figures behind it does not clear the bar. 3

Report an error

The CRO Consultant

The published claims are "Zero Server Load" and a required extra tracking code, with no figures for script size, loading behaviour, flicker handling or Core Web Vitals impact. "Zero Server Load" concerns the vendor's servers rather than the cost the snippet imposes on the customer's page. 3

Report an error

The Data Protection Officer

The only performance statements I found are a claim of zero server load and a Cloudflare SSL certificate, and neither addresses the cost the snippet imposes on the visitor's page. I found no public information on script size, asynchronous loading, anti-flicker handling with a timeout, self-hosting, or measured effects on Core Web Vitals. 2 3

Report an error

The Skeptic

The only performance statement captured is a "Zero Server Load" claim next to a required tracking code; we found no public information on script size, asynchronous loading, flicker handling or Core Web Vitals impact. Without one published figure, the cost the snippet imposes on the customer's page is unknown. 3

Analytics, data export & integrations

Show reasoning
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.

Google Analytics 4 event integration, Search Console, a Shopify App Store listing and read-only AI connectors to Claude and ChatGPT are evidenced, which covers the basic wiring. But I found no public information on exporting results or visitor-level data and no documented API for managing experiments, so a result cross-checked in our own data is not something these pages support. 3 1

European sovereignty panel opinion

Show reasoning
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.

Hosting is documented as standard in Germany at a Hetzner data centre certified DIN ISO/IEC 27001, which is a solid start for a German team. The contracting entity's jurisdiction is not stated, the pages describe transfers to legal and tax consultants, accounting, marketing and IT services without a subprocessor list, and the SSL chain runs through Cloudflare — I found no public information tying the entity or the full chain to the EU. 2 7

The security page states the server sits in Germany in a Hetzner data centre certified to ISO/IEC 27001, which is where my visitors' behaviour would be processed. We found no public information on the contracting entity's jurisdiction, and the subprocessor chain is not published — the privacy policy names categories such as consultants, accounting, marketing and IT services, and the security page names Cloudflare for the certificate — so I cannot see everyone who touches the data. 2 7

The vendor's own security policy places the server in Germany on Hetzner with ISO 27001, but the independently sourced attributes could not establish the contracting entity's jurisdiction, ownership or data residency, and the privacy policy invokes Ukrainian and Russian data protection law alongside GDPR.

Pricing transparency not rated — the vendor publishes no price

Show reasoning
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.
