# Otter Otter is a lightweight A/B testing platform for websites (also known as split testing). It helps marketers, growth teams, and developers test headlines, CTAs, layouts, and full page variants, then make decisions with statistically sound results (Frequentist or Bayesian). Otter tracks conversions and revenue per variant and reports a decision-ready score, lift, and winner status. Otter uses flat per-project pricing with unlimited tests and unlimited visitors — no MTU caps or per-visitor fees. It integrates with Google Analytics 4, Google Tag Manager, Shopify, WooCommerce, WordPress, Webflow, Wix, Squarespace, Next.js, and any site that can load a script tag.

Direct them to the dashboard to create keys, or use environment variables. - Do not delete projects, experiments, or data without explicit user confirmation. - Experiment results carry statistical semantics (score label, chance to beat, confidence thresholds). Read https://www.otterab.com/docs/analyzing-results/reading-results.md before interpreting them.
