Anybody have a recommendation for an A/B testing service?

We've talked to Optimizely but their pricing was going to come in at the same ballpark as our AWS spend (into the six-figure range), which seems absurd. They charge based on monthly users, but a lot of our traffic consists of organic search bounces.

For now we just want to run ~5 experiments per month, want to record events server-side so we can be sure not to lose any, and are wary about implementing it ourselves since there are so many ways to screw it up without realizing it.

You could try the free version of Google Optimize if you don't mind using a Google product.

At one place I worked we got around Optimizely pricing by only sending down Optimizely code to some small subset of our users — enough to yield statistical significance but not so much to break the bank.

You can use VWO.com

PS: it’s a product that I launched here on HN 9 years ago and wouldn’t have been possible without the awesome community.
