Quick Verdict

AB Tasty is a Paris-born experimentation, personalisation and feature-flagging platform โ€” and as of 20 January 2026 it is part of a much bigger story: AB Tasty and India's VWO (Wingify) formally merged under Everstone Capital's majority ownership to form a single $100M+ ARR digital-experience-optimisation company headquartered in New Delhi. Wingify co-founder Sparsh Gupta is CEO of the combined entity; AB Tasty's co-founders Rรฉmi Aubert and Alix de Sagazan moved into Chief Customer & Strategy and Chief Revenue Officer roles respectively. The two product brands continue to operate, but the engineering, sales and product roadmaps are now joint โ€” and procurement increasingly flows through one commercial team. For Indian buyers, the strategic shift is the most consequential change in this category in a decade: the combined company is the largest pure-play CRO/experimentation vendor that is Indian-headquartered, with ~800 staff across 11 offices and ~90% of revenue from North American and European customers. AB Tasty itself, founded in 2009 in Paris by Alix de Sagazan and Rรฉmi Aubert, brings the European personalisation depth and feature-flagging product (Flagship); VWO brings the bigger India presence and the SMB-friendly self-serve motion.

What is AB Tasty?

AB Tasty was founded in 2009 in Paris by Alix de Sagazan and Rรฉmi Aubert, originally under the name Liwio as a web-analytics consultancy. The team pivoted to a SaaS A/B testing product in 2012, raised a Series A in 2016 ($6M), Series B in 2018 ($17M), and a $40M Series C in 2020 led by Summit Partners. By 2023 the product had broadened well beyond A/B testing into a full digital-experience-optimisation suite: server-side and client-side personalisation, feature flags via the in-house Flagship product, recommendations, and an analytics layer.

The defining moment is recent and Indian. On 20 January 2026, Everstone Capital โ€” the India- and Singapore-focused PE firm that had taken majority control of Wingify (VWO) in a previous transaction โ€” announced the merger of Wingify and AB Tasty into a single combined company. The combined entity has approximately $100 million+ in ARR, ~800 staff across 11 global offices, and ~90% revenue from North American and European markets. Sparsh Gupta, Wingify's co-founder, became CEO of the combined company; Ankit Jain became Chief Product & Technology Officer; AB Tasty's Rรฉmi Aubert moved to Chief Customer & Strategy Officer and Alix de Sagazan to Chief Revenue Officer. The combined company is headquartered in New Delhi.

This matters for Indian product and growth teams in three ways. First, it ends the AB Tasty / VWO competitive question โ€” they're one company now, and choosing one over the other is increasingly a choice of product surface, not vendor. Second, India is now the procurement and engineering home of the largest pure-play experimentation vendor outside Optimizely โ€” INR billing, IST-aligned support and faster deal cycles for Indian buyers should follow over 2026. Third, the combined entity is now positioned as the credible global alternative to Optimizely Web for mid-market and large enterprise customers โ€” a move that's been a long time coming.

Capabilities

๐Ÿงช A/B and MVT testing

Mature client-side and server-side A/B and multivariate testing with both Bayesian and frequentist statistical engines. Visual editor for marketers; SDKs for engineers. Among the most capable test-design surfaces in the category, comparable to Optimizely Web.

๐ŸŽฏ Personalisation engine

AB Tasty's historic strength. Real-time decisioning across web, app and email; segment-level and 1:1 personalisation with built-in audience builder and integration into major CDPs. Stronger than VWO's standalone personalisation surface โ€” a key piece the merger brings into the combined product.

๐Ÿšฉ Feature flags (Flagship)

AB Tasty's feature-flag and progressive-rollout product, originally branded Flagship, with server-side SDKs in 10+ languages. Now wired more tightly into the experimentation surface so a flag rollout is also an experiment by default.

๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ GDPR & EU data residency

Built-in GDPR consent handling, EU data-residency option, sub-processor transparency. The cleanest data posture in this category โ€” easier to defend in a procurement legal review than US-headquartered Optimizely or Statsig.

๐Ÿค Recommendations

Product, content and merchandising recommendations with multiple algorithm options. Less mature than Dynamic Yield's recommender stack but adequate for most mid-market e-commerce use cases.

๐Ÿ”Œ Integrations

Native integrations with Google Analytics 4, Adobe Analytics, Mixpanel, Amplitude, Heap, Segment, RudderStack, Salesforce Marketing Cloud, mParticle, and major e-commerce platforms (Shopify Plus, Magento, Salesforce Commerce Cloud).

Pricing & plans (2026)

AB Tasty has historically been custom-priced with no public tier card. Real-world contracts in 2024โ€“2026 typically land in the $20Kโ€“$100K+ per year range depending on monthly traffic, product modules (personalisation vs feature flags vs recommendations), and channels (web vs app). For Indian buyers, that's roughly โ‚น16Lโ€“โ‚น85L+ per year. The previous "starts ~โ‚น3,00,000/year" figure on this page (~$3.5K) was unrealistically low for an enterprise contract; we've corrected it. Post-merger, pricing harmonisation between AB Tasty and VWO is in progress โ€” expect a more transparent INR-friendly price card for Indian buyers over the course of 2026. Always validate via a quote on abtasty.com or directly with the combined company's Indian sales team.

When AB Tasty (combined entity) is the right call

  1. You need personalisation as a first-class feature โ€” AB Tasty's personalisation engine is meaningfully stronger than VWO's standalone, and stronger than Convert.com or Optimizely's lower tiers.
  2. You sell into Europe and need GDPR / EU data residency โ€” among the cleanest data postures in this category.
  3. You're an Indian buyer who wants INR billing and local support โ€” post-merger, this should improve materially over 2026 because the combined entity is now Indian-HQ'd.
  4. You want feature flags + experimentation + personalisation in one suite โ€” the combined Wingify-AB Tasty product covers more surface than any single competitor in the mid-market segment.

AB Tasty is the wrong call when: you specifically want a free or open-source tool (use GrowthBook), you need warehouse-native experimentation analysis (use Eppo or Statsig), or you're a small startup that needs a tool live this week (use VWO's self-serve tier directly, or Convert.com's published $199/mo plan).

Pros & cons

โœ“ Pros

  • Strong personalisation engine โ€” best-in-class outside Dynamic Yield
  • European GDPR and data-residency posture is the cleanest in the category
  • Feature flags + experimentation + personalisation in one platform
  • Now Indian-HQ'd post-merger โ€” better INR billing and IST support coming through 2026
  • Combined entity scale ($100M+ ARR, 800 staff) gives long-term roadmap stability

โœ— Cons

  • Custom pricing only โ€” not transparent on the website (in flux post-merger)
  • Product roadmap will shift over 2026 as the two product lines converge
  • Brand confusion: AB Tasty and VWO operate as two products under one company
  • Integration risk: any major merger like this carries a 12โ€“18 month period of organisational disruption
  • Not a free or self-serve product โ€” sales-led only at the AB Tasty brand tier
