How much does a feature flag platform cost?
Blog post from Statsig
Feature flag tools are essential for managing feature rollouts and experimentation, but selecting the right option can be challenging due to varying pricing models. A spreadsheet has been created to compare the costs of different platforms, with Statsig standing out as the only provider offering free feature flags for self-service companies at all usage levels. In contrast, other platforms like LaunchDarkly and PostHog have free tiers that become costly as user numbers increase. The analysis uses Monthly Active Users (MAU) as a benchmark to compare pricing, based on assumptions such as the number of sessions and gates per user. While cost is a significant factor, other important considerations include scalability, security, and features like flag lifecycle management and impact analysis. The document encourages reviewing the detailed methodology for further understanding and offers assistance for inquiries about feature flagging platforms.
