Optimizely or Sendora — pick the trade-off, not the marketing.
Optimizely is the enterprise OG for A/B + personalization + CMS. Premium pricing reflects it. Sendora ships the experiment + audience-targeting + In-App personalization surface bundled with the rest of the customer-engagement stack. Optimizely's CMS depth is its own product line we don't replicate.
Enterprise experimentation + personalization + CMS. Premium pricing.
Same experiment + personalization surface, bundled with audiences + messaging + auth + support.

- Bundled audience-targeting + variant-winner-promote across messaging surfaces.
- Transparent pricing tiers vs Optimizely enterprise quoted.
When Optimizely is the right call
- You need Optimizely Content (CMS) — Sendora doesn't replicate it.
- Enterprise procurement + integration depth with your CMS workflow is load-bearing.
Experiments
Audience-targeted feature flags with percentage rollouts + kill-switch toggle + evaluation log. Honest about not being LaunchDarkly statistical engine.
LaunchDarkly is a flag store. Statsig is an experiment platform. Sendora's Experiments module is leaner: typed flags (`boolean / string / number / json`), rule-based rollouts (audienceId + percentage + value), evaluate + evaluate-all endpoints with the same shape as LaunchDarkly's SDK contract, instant toggle + audit log. Honest about scope: no first-class `multivariate` flag type (use `string` or `json`), no statistical experiment readout engine, no winner auto-promote to In-App / Push, no `experiment.assigned` event on the platform bus (evaluations write to `flag_evaluations` table, not `events`).
Switch from Optimizely. Keep your weekend.
