A one-sided test or a one-tailed test, lets you test for a metric moving in only in one direction which you specify in advance. This tradeoff gives you additional sensitivity (or power). Learn more
Examples of this include testing for regressions in guardrail metrics and testing for a change in which only one direction has any meaningful business impact. e.g. You're less interested in detecting if new features reduce crash rates, but are very interested in learning if new features are increasing crash rates.
Statsig will now automatically clean up temporary tables from jobs like custom queries and power analysis. From the experiment page, or when you make an experiment decision, you'll also get the option to drop the tables associated with that experiment - by default, you'll keep the result datasets.
We’re excited to roll out Dashboard Templates for product analytics. These templates let you quickly create customized dashboards for common use cases. These include Web Analytics, Product Growth, Feature Success, and B2B SaaS Metrics. More templates are coming soon!
Dashboards can take time to set up, especially the complicated ones. It's also common to want to view similar measures on different sets of input data. Now, with Dashboard Templates, you can pick a ready-made dashboards that fit your goal. Customize it with your own data and start analyzing right away.
Navigate to the dashboard section, choose ‘Create’, and pick a templates that matches what you’re looking to track. If required, input a few relevant events and that's it!
Give Dashboard Templates a try today and see how simple they make it to get meaningful insights from your data.
Over the Seattle summer, you will see a refreshed new look on Statsig. Rolling out right now is a new navigation system that makes it easier to navigate the growing list of features. Reach out in Slack with feedback!
Statsig in 2024 is a far richer product than in 2021. We've added new product surfaces like Product Analytics and Session Replay. Experimentation has added features ranging from Meta-Analysis to Stratified Sampling. Feature flag creation lets you configure automated rollouts, ownership, and change approvers. The new look aims to keep Statsig friendly and easy to use even as we add this power. Stay tuned...
Statsig CLI is our new command-line interface that helps with the creation and management of Statsig Feature Gates, Experiments, and Dynamic Configs, all from the command line. Our CLI tool can also be used within scripts, as well as integrated into CI/CD pipelines to automate the management of Feature Gates and Experiments.
To get started with installing the Statsig CLI, see our documentation here.
We’re keen to keep building out functionality for this interface, so if you have any feedback or feature requests drop us a note in Slack!
Local Metrics are metrics that are scoped to an individual experiment. They let you create a custom metric you want to measure in the context of your experiment or gate, without having to clutter up your Metrics Catalog with these metrics. Local Metrics can be created from the Setup tab sections of your experiment. They will be calculated for the duration of your experiment or rollout, and then will cease to exist when you make a decision on your experiment.
Our April release allowed you to create simple metrics (sums, count, unique user count). By popular demand, we've unlocked all the flexibility available in the metrics catalog - windowing, SQL filters and metrics that span multiple metric sources.
Today, we’re making it easier to view your Pulse metric lifts in the way that makes the most sense for you, whether this is viewing relative (%) deltas, absolute deltas, relative or absolute topline impact. To make this easier across all metrics in your Scorecard, we’ve introduced a selector inline in Pulse to toggle how you want to view your metric lifts.
We’ve also introduced the ability to view your daily and cumulative time-series either by Deltas (today’s default) or Totals (raw units). This new view exists within the Pulse detail hovercard.
Check out these new views and let us know what you think!
At Statsig, we believe that all builders on a team should be able to create the metrics that best measure what they and their teams care most about. This is why we built a powerful Custom Metrics product which enables you to build metrics with more complex business logic on top of raw events and input metrics.
As a team’s Metrics Catalog grows, it becomes increasingly important to provide visibility to non-metric creators on how a metric is defined to ensure they can correctly interpret metric lift results.
To this end, we’re excited to start rolling out a new Metric Detail Card. Now on hover in Pulse, you can get more information about a metric’s-
Definition
Input events
Applied statistical methods
Possible dimensions to break down by
…and more!

We’ve rewritten our Javascript SDKs (statsig-js, statsig-react, statsig-react-native, statsig-react-native-expo, statsig-js-lite, and statsig-js-on-device-eval-client) to reduce the package sizes, codify common initialization and callback patterns, and share core logic between each package. This new SDK also supports packages for Session Replay and Web Analytics.
Read more about the migration path here, or learn about the improvements in our blog post.
We're rolling out the first in a series of views that enable meta-analysis across your corpus of experiments. This view lets you to filter down to experiments a team has run. At a glance you can answer questions like
What experiments are running now?
When are they expected to end?
What % of experiments ship Control vs Test?
What is the typical duration?
Do experiments run for their planned duration - or much longer or shorter?
Do experiments impact key business metrics - or only shallow or team level metrics?
How much do they impact key business metrics?
It is rolling out now to experimenters that have expressed interest in or have offered feedback on meta-analysis needs. Reach out in Slack if this is an area of interest; we're adding more over the summer and would love to hear from you! It is homed under the Insights tab in the left navigation.
