Short answer
Lazyweb Research detected 43 distinct experiments at Adidas (July 2026), of which at least 12 touch the signup flow and at least 4 the home surface. source[1] Adidas is one of the most signup-focused retail apps in the corpus, with zero detected paywall experiments — consistent with a login-gated commerce model rather than a subscription. These are observed before/after variations with inferred rationale, not company-confirmed A/B tests.
Lazyweb Research detected 43 Adidas experiments (July 2026), at least 12 on signup and none on a paywall.
The finding
Lazyweb Research detected 43 distinct experiments at Adidas, with at least 12 on signup and 0 detected on any paywall. source[1] For a commerce app, the account-creation flow — not a subscription paywall — is the monetization-adjacent surface, and Adidas concentrates its detected iteration there. It is a clean example of a retailer treating signup as a growth lever.
How to apply it
Adidas shows that for a commerce app without a subscription, signup is the primary testable growth surface — at least 12 detected experiments and no paywall to iterate on. If you run a retail app, benchmark your signup-testing cadence against Adidas rather than against subscription apps whose energy goes to the paywall. Three Adidas experiments were detected in 2026. source[1]
Caveats
All figures are observed variations with LLM-inferred rationale, not company-confirmed A/B tests — no lift is measured. source[1] Surface splits are lower bounds because screen category is unlabeled on 1,425 of 4,814 corpus experiments. [cat_null]
The numbers
| # | Stat | Computed from |
|---|---|---|
| [1] | 43 distinct experiments; at least 12 signup, at least 4 home | company_total:adidas (value 43; signup 12, home 4, in-2026 3) |

Methodology
Universe: 43 distinct Adidas experiments (COUNT(DISTINCT experiment_id)) within 4,814 detected before/after UI diffs across 276 companies, July 2026. Extraction: LLM-inferred rationale on observed variations. Caveat: detected variations only, never company-confirmed A/B tests.

screen_category is NULL on 1,425 experiments, so all surface splits are lower bounds.
