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

The CRO Consultant

Weighted verdict

Sets up testing programmes for several clients and has to recommend a platform each can afford and defend. Reads for multi-project management, clean analytics integration, a consent setup a client's DPO will sign off, and a traffic metric she can estimate before the contract.

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

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 CRO Consultant

Zuko presents itself as a form analytics and session replay platform, and the only experiment-related capability I can find is a native ABlyft integration that pushes test variants into Zuko as custom attributes for comparative reporting — measurement of someone else's tests, not delivery of its own. We found no public information on a visual editor, server-side SDKs, multivariate or multi-page tests, or personalisation from Zuko itself. 4 5 1

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 CRO Consultant

The benchmarking and form statistics pages publish completion, abandonment and correlation figures ("a significant positive relationship"), but we found no documented inferential method behind them, no confidence or credible intervals, and no sample-size or duration guidance. There is also no mention of sample ratio mismatch detection or guardrail metrics, so nothing here would let me defend a test read-out to a client. 9 6

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 CRO Consultant

This is the best-evidenced area: the tracking JavaScript is published at 15 kb (6 kb transferred) on a globally available AWS CDN with no third-party libraries, the completion code need not fire on page load, targeting can be narrowed to the form element, and clients may self-host the tracking code on their own infrastructure. We found no published figures on Core Web Vitals impact and no per-project bundling, which caps it below the top band. 3 8

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 CRO Consultant

Getting data out is a real strength: a Sessions API extracting raw unaggregated visitor sessions including custom attributes and events, Python example code, data warehouse export, BI connections covering Google Data Studio, Power BI, Domo and Tableau, a dedicated Google Data Studio connector with audience segments and custom events, a Segment.io connector route, GTM support, and Shopify, Jotform and Hubspot integrations. We found no stated API rate limits or warehouse-native metric computation on the customer's own data, so it stops just short of the top mark. 10 11 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 CRO Consultant

The privacy overview states all data is hosted on AWS in the Republic of Ireland as standard, but the contracting entity is Formisimo Ltd, registered in England and Wales and operating under UK GDPR with a designated DPO — so EU processing with a non-EU entity. Subcontractors are permitted under confidentiality obligations, yet we found no published list of named subprocessors, and the snippet is served from a globally available CDN whose delivery path beyond Ireland is not specified. 3 2 11

Pricing transparency not rated — the vendor publishes no price

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 CRO Consultant

Public pages offer a free trial including all features, a free form healthcheck with no credit card required, and monthly rolling or annual billing, and the traffic metric is a monthly visit allowance that loading Zuko counts against. We found no public information on tier prices, allowance sizes or what happens above the allowance, so I cannot estimate a client's invoice before a sales conversation. 2 8 6
