Statsig was built to give engineering teams a single data tool to build better products. Statsig is unique because it combines modern feature flags with automated A/B testing and experimentation.
This means that engineers can automatically measure the impact of every feature they ship on all product metrics. No data work required. This is especially useful for companies launching new AI features. You can take the risk out of any new AI feature by launching it to a small group of users, measuring the impact on product metrics, and iterating from there.
Scaled startups like Vercel, Notion, and Vanta use Statsig to ship features faster and safer. Statsig has a super developer friendly tier and simple, usage based pricing for enterprises. Whether you’re getting started on your data journey or are just tired of overpaying for flag, analytics, and A/B testing tools.
