Warehouse-native experimentation and feature flagging, now sold as Datadog Experiments

Testing
Natural language test automation for web, mobile and API with a self hosted open source edition
- From

The short version
- Only Testsigma has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
- Each has a real cost: Eppo datadog acquired Eppo in May 2025 and is folding it into Datadog Experiments, so you are now buying a component of an observability suite rather than an independent product, and roadmap priorities will follow Datadog’s bundle strategy.; Testsigma the natural language layer is a fixed vocabulary rather than real English, so testers spend the first weeks learning which phrasings the parser accepts, which is learning a language after all.
- They diverge on capability: Eppo covers Warehouse-native analysis, Testsigma covers Natural language authoring.
- Prices and features above were last checked on 31 August 2026.

What people use each for
The jobs each tool is most often brought in to do.
Eppo
- A company whose experiment results have repeatedly disagreed with the analytics team’s own numbers because the two systems define revenue differentlynot Testsigma
- A product organisation with low traffic on a key surface that needs variance reduction to reach a decision in weeks instead of monthsnot Testsigma
- A team that must keep user-level event data inside its own warehouse for regulatory reasons and cannot ship it to a third-party analytics vendornot Testsigma
- An existing Datadog customer consolidating product analytics, feature flags and experimentation onto one vendor agreementnot Testsigma
Testsigma
- A team maintaining separate Selenium and Appium suites that wants one place for web and native mobile coveragenot Eppo
- Organisations that must keep test data and execution on premises for regulatory reasonsnot Eppo
- QA groups with manual testers being asked to automate without first learning Javanot Eppo
- Evaluating low code test automation properly before committing budget, by running the free edition against the real applicationnot Eppo
Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
Eppo
- Datadog acquired Eppo in May 2025 and is folding it into Datadog Experiments, so you are now buying a component of an observability suite rather than an independent product, and roadmap priorities will follow Datadog’s bundle strategy.
- No pricing is published anywhere, before or after the acquisition; the site offers only a demo request, so cost cannot be estimated without a sales process and is likely to be quoted alongside a wider Datadog contract.
- Because analysis runs in your warehouse, Eppo shifts compute cost onto your Snowflake or BigQuery bill; a large experiment programme with frequent recomputation raises a line item that does not appear in the Eppo quote at all.
- Results are only as fresh as the pipeline feeding the warehouse, so teams used to near-real-time dashboards from an event-based tool will wait hours for updated numbers, which slows down the fast iteration loops some product teams rely on.
- It assumes a mature data stack with a warehouse, defined metrics and analysts who can maintain them; an organisation without that has to build the data foundation first, which makes the real adoption cost far larger than the licence.
Testsigma
- The natural language layer is a fixed vocabulary rather than real English, so testers spend the first weeks learning which phrasings the parser accepts, which is learning a language after all.
- Anything conditional or arithmetic falls through to custom Java or JavaScript, and that code lives in the platform editor rather than your repository, where it gets no code review and no version history you control.
- The community edition lags the cloud product and is not the version the vendor demonstrates, so a self hosted evaluation can understate or overstate what you would actually buy.
- Cloud execution is billed separately from authoring seats, so a suite that grows from two hundred to two thousand tests changes the bill without anyone changing the plan.
- Support and engineering are concentrated in Indian time zones, which slows incident turnaround for teams working in the Americas.

Questions people ask
- Is Eppo or Testsigma better?
- Neither clearly leads. Eppo starts at On request and Testsigma at Free, and user ratings are close enough to be indistinguishable. Choose on capability and platform support.
- Which is cheaper, Eppo or Testsigma?
- Testsigma has a free tier; the other does not. Paid plans start at On request for Eppo and Free for Testsigma.
- Does Eppo or Testsigma run on more platforms?
- Eppo runs on Web, Cloud. Testsigma runs on Web, iOS, Android, Linux.
- Can I use Testsigma for free?
- Yes. Testsigma has a free tier, so you can try it without paying. Eppo starts at On request.
- What is Eppo best used for?
- Eppo is most often used for a company whose experiment results have repeatedly disagreed with the analytics team’s own numbers because the two systems define revenue differently, a product organisation with low traffic on a key surface that needs variance reduction to reach a decision in weeks instead of months, a team that must keep user-level event data inside its own warehouse for regulatory reasons and cannot ship it to a third-party analytics vendor, an existing datadog customer consolidating product analytics, feature flags and experimentation onto one vendor agreement. Of those, a company whose experiment results have repeatedly disagreed with the analytics team’s own numbers because the two systems define revenue differently and a product organisation with low traffic on a key surface that needs variance reduction to reach a decision in weeks instead of months are not what Testsigma is typically brought in for.
- What can Eppo do that Testsigma cannot?
- Eppo covers Warehouse-native analysis, Sequential testing, CUPED variance reduction, Feature flagging. Testsigma covers Natural language authoring, Unified web, mobile and API tests, Self hosted community edition, Cloud device and browser grid.
Answered from the vendors’ own pages
Eppo: Is Eppo still a separate product?
It is still sold and supported, but Datadog acquired it in May 2025 and it is branded as Datadog Experiments. Buy it expecting a Datadog product roadmap.
Testsigma: Is the open source edition genuinely usable in production?
Yes for self hosted execution, though it trails the cloud version on newer features and you maintain the grid yourself.
Eppo: What does it cost?
Nothing is published. There is no pricing page, only a demo request, and pricing is now likely bundled into a Datadog agreement.
Testsigma: Do testers need to know Selenium?
Not to write ordinary steps. They will need someone who does as soon as the suite needs custom functions or awkward waits.
Eppo: Does it need a data warehouse?
Yes. Warehouse-native analysis is the whole architecture. Without Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift or Databricks there is no product.
Testsigma: Can it test native iOS and Android applications?
Yes, through Appium underneath, on the hosted device grid or your own devices.
Eppo: Does it include feature flags?
Yes. Assignment and measurement come from the same system, which is the main reason teams pick it over pairing a flag tool with a separate analysis tool.
