How is Blazeway different from other A/B testing tools like GrowthBook or PostHog?
Blazeway is designed for solo founders, focusing on an experiment journal for one person to document beliefs, check data, and capture learnings. Unlike tools built for large data teams, Blazeway optimizes for the decision trail and plain language results, not statistical depth.
Does Blazeway require a cookie banner or use cookies for tracking?
No, Blazeway runs without cookies, localStorage, or fingerprinting. It is GDPR-compliant by architecture, meaning you do not need a cookie banner to use its tracking features. Every visitor is counted using a SHA-256 daily hash.
Can I run experiments without installing any tracking code?
Yes, Blazeway supports manual experiments where you can document any decision, test, or observation without installing anything. For automatic tracking, you only need to add one script tag to your website, making setup quick and flexible.
What are 'story arcs' and how do they help organize experiments?
Story arcs group related experiments together, such as all tests related to 'Pricing' or 'Onboarding'. This allows you to see the full historical trail of decisions and learnings in one place when revisiting a specific area, providing valuable context and preventing scattered notes.
What are the limitations of the free plan?
The free plan includes unlimited experiments, the experiment journal with story arcs, structured learning capture, check-ins with sentiment tracking, and cookieless GDPR tracking. However, it is limited to 1,000 events per month, suitable for small projects and focused experiment sprints.
