What types of sampling does Sprig offer?

Sprig offers two main ways of sampling the number of MTUs you send to Sprig, “Customer owned” and “Sprig owned”. You should go with the customer owned option if you have requirements for sampling that could change based on demographics or other niche segments. This is most often the best option for enterprise-sized companies. You should go with the Sprig owned option if your requirements are basic, so you need you to stay below your threshold and nothing else. This is most often the best option for mid-market sized companies.

Customer Owned Sampling

Customer owned sampling is a system or set of rules developed by the customer to gate a predetermined number of users into Sprig. Since it’s owned by the customer, they can easily increase or decrease at will.

Sampling using A/B Tools

Similar sampling approaches can be used through your company-owned A/B testing product by feature-flagging Sprig for a specific group of users. With feature-flagging, only a certain set of users can see or use a specific product feature—in this case, Sprig. We recommend working with your internal analytics or data science team to understand the user groups and how you wish to feature-flag them into Sprig.

Sprig Owned Sampling

Sprig owned sampling is a configuration set by Sprig per platform (iOS, Web, Android) that determines who should & should not load into Sprig. It is a random sample of the audience and cannot be customized further. In order to set up Sprig owned sampling, you can submit a request to the Sprig team by visiting Settings > Usage.
