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

Client-side coverage is solid and documented — visual editor with CSS/HTML/JS, redirect and split-URL tests, multi-page experiments, full-factorial multivariate tests with automatic combination generation, audience targeting and mutual exclusion — but delivery is the snippet-and-editor model throughout. The only server-side mention is a feature-grid entry, and we found no public documentation of server-side SDKs, feature-flag experiments, holdouts or personalisation. 5 6 1 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 Product Engineer

The method is named with real assumptions — frequentist by default, one-sided chi-square for rates and a one-sided t-test for value metrics, two-sided and Bayesian as account-level Pro options — plus a significance calculator, a Bayesian runtime forecast to 95 % significance, A/A testing, and written guidance to run at least ten days with 500 conversions per variant and to ignore interim significance. We found no public information on sequential testing or other peeking protection, correction for multiple metrics or variants, 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 Product Engineer

They publish an 11.5 KB snippet, recommend head placement, and document the anti-flicker script unusually honestly — a configurable 4-second hide, and a warning that it can hurt Core Web Vitals and SEO. We found no public information on measured load cost or Core Web Vitals impact, an asynchronous loading option, self-hosting or first-party-domain delivery, or an edge or server-side alternative for flicker-sensitive tests. 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 Product Engineer

The BigQuery path is real: automatic setup into the customer's own project, raw line-by-line data with no sampling, events displayed as goals, and exact per-combination numbers for e-commerce multivariate tests, alongside GA4 import, a broad set of analytics and tag-manager integrations, results export and an Experiment API offered as an expert function. We found no public information on the API's limits or versioning or on CDP integration for audiences, and metrics still live in the vendor's reporting rather than being defined once and computed in the warehouse. 14 13 6 8 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

A German GmbH registered in Munich, Frankfurt hosting claimed on the vendor's own pages and a data protection officer via heyData, but the privacy policy names neither the hosting provider nor the subprocessors for the testing product itself, and the website chain includes Cloudflare and HubSpot, both US companies, with transfers relying on Data Privacy Framework certification or standard contractual clauses. The captured pages also name the entity differently — Varify Software GmbH in the imprint, Varify GmbH in the privacy policy, same Grünwald address — and we found no public information on a data processing agreement covering the visitor data the script collects. 3 2 1 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.

Report an error

The Product Engineer

Tier prices, annual totals, trial terms and per-tier limits are public — one domain, unlimited subdomains, unlimited traffic, five active experiments on Growth — and the flat rate means the invoice does not depend on traffic estimates. The captured pages give different figures for the entry price — '€119 per month' on the homepage, a starting price of 199 €, and 249 € as the Growth monthly price on the plans page — while AI credits are priced only as 'a monthly credit package or with your own API key', Enterprise services are 'quoted separately', and we found no public information on VAT treatment or minimum term. 4 1 10 6
