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

The Skeptic

Weighted verdict

A statistician who has watched too many "winners" regress to zero. Reads for the method by name, what stops a team from peeking, sample ratio mismatch checks and multiple-comparison corrections — and treats a "probability to beat" without documented assumptions as marketing.

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

Scored by The Skeptic

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 Skeptic

The client side is documented in depth — a visual editor with redirect and split-URL tests, full-factorial multivariate, multi-page experiments, multiple variants, audience and page targeting, and mutual exclusion of experiments — which already exceeds a basic split-and-target product. Server-side testing appears only as a label in a feature list with no SDK documentation behind it, and we found no public information on holdouts, feature flags, edge delivery or personalisation. 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 Skeptic

Credit where due: the machinery is named — one-sided chi-square for binomial targets, one-sided Student t-test for value metrics, an optional two-tailed setting, a Bayesian alternative with a runtime forecast — alongside an A/A test facility and concrete reading guidance (ten days minimum, 500 conversions per variant, at most three metrics, ignore interim significance). All of it is advisory: we found no public information on sequential testing against peeking, any multiple-comparison correction, sample ratio mismatch detection or variance reduction, and nothing prevents an underpowered test from being called. The Bayesian option outputs a probability that a variant is better, and we found no public information on its assumptions, the prior included — a figure I treat as marketing until the prior is on the table. 7 8

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 Skeptic

An 11.5 KB snippet size is published, and the anti-flicker documentation is unusually honest: the script is optional, the four-second maximum hide is configurable, and the vendor states in writing that it can negatively affect Core Web Vitals and SEO. We found no public information on asynchronous loading, CDN delivery of the snippet, measured Core Web Vitals impact, 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.

Report an error

The Skeptic

An experiment result you can check in your own data is a finding, not a claim — and this product gets that far: automatic GA4 evaluation, integrations for Adobe Analytics, etracker, econda, Matomo, Piwik Pro and PostHog, results export, and a BigQuery integration placing raw, line-by-line, unsampled experiment data in the customer's own project as goals and segments. The experiment API is offered as an "expert function"; we found no public information on its rate limits, versioning, or on a CDP integration for audiences. 13 14 6 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 Skeptic

A German contracting entity in Grünwald, a Frankfurt hosting claim, and the privacy policy explains DPF-or-SCC safeguards for the US providers used on the vendor's own website. But the Frankfurt claim lives in marketing copy: we found no public information in the privacy policy on where product data is stored, on the hosting provider of the testing product, or on subprocessors of the hosted product, and the captured pages name the contracting entity differently — Varify Software GmbH in the imprint, Varify GmbH in the privacy policy. 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.

Report an error

The Skeptic

Flat pricing with unlimited traffic removes the estimation game entirely: Growth and Pro prices are published monthly and annually, domain and active-experiment limits are stated, and a 15-day trial needs no credit card. Deductions at the edges: the captured pages give different figures for the entry price — €119 per month on the homepage, a starting price of 199 € per month on the pricing page — AI features are billed in AI credits whose package price we found no public information on, Enterprise services are quoted separately, and minimum term and VAT treatment are unstated. 4 1 10 6
