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

The E-Commerce Manager

Weighted verdict

Owns a shop where a tenth of a second of load time shows up in the conversion rate. Wants personalisation that can be tested against a control, a snippet that does not flicker the product page, and a traffic-based price that does not jump a tier every December.

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

Scored by The E-Commerce Manager

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.

The E-Commerce Manager

The visual editor, split-URL tests, multi-page experiments and full-factorial multivariate tests in one platform are properly documented, and audience targeting plus mutual exclusion go beyond the basics. But server-side testing appears only as a line on a features overview, and I found no SDK documentation for it, no holdouts, and no way to test a personalisation against a control — the thing I need before trusting a personalised product page. 5 6 11 13

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 E-Commerce Manager

The method is named precisely — a one-sided chi-square for conversion metrics, a one-sided t-test for revenue, with a two-sided option and a Bayesian alternative in the Pro plan, plus a significance calculator, A/A testing and unusually plain guidance of ten days minimum and at least 500 conversions per variant with interim results to be ignored. What is missing is machinery, not honesty: I found no sequential testing, no sample ratio mismatch detection, no correction for multiple metrics beyond a warning, and no public information on variance reduction or guardrail metrics. 7 8 11 13

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 E-Commerce Manager

An 11.5 KB snippet is published, head placement is recommended to stop flicker, and the optional anti-flicker script is documented with its default 4-second hide and an unusually honest warning that it can hurt Core Web Vitals and SEO. I found no published figures for the measured effect on Core Web Vitals, and no public information on an asynchronous loading option, CDN delivery of the snippet, self-hosting, or per-project bundles. 10 11 12

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.

Results land in my own BigQuery project raw, unfiltered and line-by-line with no sampling, BigQuery events show up as goals in the reports, and there are exact numbers per combination for e-commerce metrics — that is how a result gets checked rather than believed. The analytics bench is broad (GA4, Matomo, Piwik Pro, etracker, econda, Adobe Analytics, PostHog) with results export and an Experiment API offered as an expert function. I found no public information on API rate limits, CDP audience integration, or a versioned API contract. 12 13 14 6

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.

A German contracting entity registered at Munich Local Court (HRB 289569) and a Frankfurt hosting claim on the marketing pages, but the privacy policy names infrastructure only for the vendor's own website (Amazon AWS via Luxembourg) and I found no public information naming the hosting or snippet-delivery infrastructure of the testing product itself. The policy documents US processing via Cloudflare and Google services for the vendor's website, relying on the EU-US Data Privacy Framework or standard contractual clauses, and I found no subprocessor list for the testing product or a published DPA covering the visitor data the script collects. The captured pages also name the company differently — Varify Software GmbH in the imprint, Varify GmbH as controller in the privacy policy — at the same Grünwald address. 1 2 3

Pricing transparency

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.

Tier prices are public with their limits (five active experiments and one domain on Growth, unlimited experiments on Pro) and the flat-rate claim of unlimited traffic with no tier jumps is exactly the December insurance I want. But the captured pages give different figures for the entry price — "€119 per month" on the homepage against "249 €" monthly or "199 € per month billed annually" on the plans page — and the AI-credit package gating Pro features is unpriced, multiple domains are "get in contact", and I found no public information on VAT treatment, minimum term, or what the double-asterisked footnote on "Unlimited traffic (MTU)" says. 1 4 6 10
