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

The Growth Lead

Weighted verdict

Runs the testing programme for a German marketing team and reports uplift to the board. Wants a visual editor the team can use without a developer, targeting that goes beyond the URL, and results she can defend when finance asks where the promised revenue went.

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

Scored by The Growth Lead

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 Growth Lead

The visual editor is genuinely rich — move, hide, replace image, style and layout changes, responsive device switcher, keyword insertion — and the platform covers multi-page tests, several variants, split-URL testing, full-factorial multivariate tests with automatic combination of traffic, mutual exclusion of experiments, and audience plus page targeting, which covers everything my team tests client-side. We found no documented SDK, feature-flag delivery or edge delivery in the user documentation; server-side A/B testing appears only as an entry in a feature list, and no personalisation that can itself be tested against a control is documented. 11 12 5 6 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 Growth Lead

The method is documented by name — a one-sided chi-square test for binomial targets and a one-sided t-test for value metrics, with a Bayesian option and a two-sided switch in the Pro plan — plus a significance calculator, a runtime forecast towards 95 % significance, A/A testing support, and guidance I can quote to the board: at least ten days, at least 500 conversions per variant, a maximum of three metrics, and interim significance values ignored. What I cannot defend yet: no sequential testing, no correction for multiple comparisons beyond the advice to limit metrics, and we found no public information on sample ratio mismatch detection, variance reduction or guardrail metrics that stop a harmful test. 7 8 11

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 Growth Lead

They publish a concrete 11.5 KB snippet size and document the anti-flicker script honestly — optional, configurable 4-second maximum hide, and a plain warning that it can negatively affect Core Web Vitals and SEO — with head placement recommended because flicker comes from the snippet loading too late. We found no public information on an asynchronous loading option, CDN delivery of the snippet, published Core Web Vitals impact figures, a self-hosting or first-party-domain option, or per-project bundles, so the flicker-sensitive path beyond the anti-flicker trade-off is not evidenced. 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.

Report an error

The Growth Lead

The analytics story is strong: automatic GA4 tracking with per-test audiences created in GA4, segment and filter reports, plus Adobe Analytics, Matomo, Piwik Pro, etracker, econda, PostHog and tag-manager options, and a BigQuery integration that puts the raw, unfiltered, line-by-line data in my own project with no sampling — exactly what I need when finance questions an uplift. The Experiment API is offered as an expert function with no documented limits, and we found no public information on CDP integration for audience streaming. 14 13 12 8

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 Growth Lead

A German contracting entity with a Munich court registration and an external data protection officer, and Frankfurt hosting claimed on the marketing pages — but the privacy policy itself does not confirm where the hosted testing product stores data and names no subprocessor list for the product. Website delivery runs through Cloudflare with processing in the USA, chat and newsletter data go to a US-headquartered provider, and the imprint and the privacy policy give different company names for the controller. 1 2 3 10

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.

The Growth Lead

Tiers are public with defined limits — Growth at 249 € monthly or 199 € billed annually with five active experiments and one website, Pro with unlimited active experiments, and Enterprise from 799 € per month — and unlimited traffic with a flat-rate model means no overage arithmetic, which I appreciate when budgeting. But AI features are billed in AI credits without published credit prices, multiple domains and Enterprise services are quoted on request, VAT treatment and minimum term are unstated, and the captured pages give different figures for the entry price — 119 € per month on the homepage, 199 € in German pages, 249 € or 199 € on the pricing page — so I cannot tell which number a new buyer would actually pay. 4 1 6 10
