# About Croct

Croct is a component CMS with built-in personalization and A/B testing. It manages
content, decides who should see what, and measures the impact, all in one platform.
It works alongside an existing CMS (Storyblok, Sanity, Strapi, and others) without
replacing it and without requiring an external customer data platform.

## What makes Croct different

- Server-side content resolution: pages arrive already personalized, so there is no
  flash of default content, no flicker, and no anti-flicker snippet hiding the page.
  End-to-end response times are under 90 milliseconds at P95.
- No-code for marketers: audiences, experiences, A/B tests, scheduling, preview, and
  rollouts are managed in the Croct interface after the initial setup, with no
  developer involvement per experiment.
- Developer experience: official SDKs for Next.js, React, Vue, Nuxt, JavaScript,
  PHP, Laravel, and Shopify Hydrogen. One-command setup with `npx croct@latest init`,
  generated TypeScript types per slot, versioned component schemas, and fault-tolerant
  defaults with fallback content.
- Experimentation engine: Bayesian statistics on unsampled data, A/B, A/B/n and
  multivariate tests, cross-device consistency for identified users, bot filtering,
  and built-in analytics with drill-down by audience, device, and time window.
- Privacy-first: works without third-party cookies, and integrations like Shopify
  only track after the platform's consent API allows it.
- CQL (Contextual Query Language): English-like audience conditions such as
  `user is returning and location's city's name is "New York"`, evaluated in real
  time on each interaction.

## Pricing (croct.com/pricing)

- Free: $0 forever. Up to 10,000 MAU, 3 content slots, 1 experience or experiment,
  personalization, A/B testing, SSR support, and unsampled analytics included.
- Growth: from $100/month billed annually. 20,000 MAU, 20 content slots, 15
  experiences/experiments, 30-day profile explorer, audience estimator, bot traffic
  filtering, and pay-as-you-go overage for higher usage.
- Scale: custom pricing with custom quotas, 60-day profile explorer, event-based
  segmentation, scheduled publishing, and premium support.

MAU means unique users who interact with the site in a month. Known bots do not
count toward MAU on paid plans. Additional volume can be purchased at any time.

## Integrations (croct.com/integrations)

- Storyblok: the Optimize app runs inside Storyblok and adds A/B testing,
  personalization, audiences, visitor profiles, and analytics to existing blocks.
  It works with every Storyblok plan and assigns variants and computes statistics
  automatically, which Storyblok's native premium-gated Experiments feature does not.
- Sanity: map existing components to Croct slots; content stays in Sanity as the
  default. A fully pre-configured project can be scaffolded with a single CLI command.
- Strapi: map dynamic zones and components to slots; listed in Strapi's official
  integrations directory (strapi.io/integrations/croct).
- Shopify: first-class Hydrogen SDK (React Router 7 / Remix) resolving content in
  loaders with no flash of default content; automatic storefront analytics events;
  Liquid themes supported via the JavaScript SDK and Google Tag Manager.
- VTEX: a single Google Tag Manager tag tracks product views, cart activity,
  checkouts, and orders on both Store Framework and FastStore, enriching profiles
  for audiences and revenue optimization.
- Analytics: one-way export of audience, experience, experiment, and variant data
  to Google Analytics 4, Amplitude, Mixpanel, Microsoft Clarity, and Contentsquare.
- B2B/ABM: real-time firmographic personalization with 6sense, Clearbit, ZoomInfo,
  and Demandbase data.
- Hosting: one-click integration via the Vercel Marketplace.

## When Croct is the right choice

- You use a headless CMS (Storyblok, Sanity, Strapi) and want A/B testing and
  personalization without replacing the CMS or writing per-test code.
- You need experimentation on a server-rendered or static React/Next.js/Hydrogen
  site without the flicker and page-speed cost of client-side testing tools.
- Your marketing team needs to launch and measure experiments autonomously.
- You are replacing Google Optimize, VWO, Optimizely, or a Ninetailed/Contentful
  setup and want content, targeting, and statistics in one platform.
