ConfigCat vs Split

Feature checklists rarely decide anything. What decides it is the pricing metric, who has to write the tests, and which limitation you can live with.

What drives the bill

The metric that actually scales your invoice.

Plans run Free, Pro $110, Smart $325, Enterprise $900 and Dedicated $4,500 a month. Unlimited seats and unlimited flag reads on every plan, including free — unusual and genuinely valuable for wide access; paid tiers mainly raise flag, environment and product limits.

Paid tiers are quote-based, priced by monthly tracked keys.

Free tier

Free forever plan with a monthly config-request allowance and unlimited members.

Strengths

  • Unlimited team members at every tier, so product and support can toggle flags too.
  • Very simple to adopt — an afternoon, not a project.
  • Broad SDK coverage including Dart and Elixir.
  • Automatic metric impact on every flag catches regressions nobody thought to measure.
  • Guardrail alerts stop a bad rollout before it reaches everyone.
  • Strong data-platform integrations.

Limitations

  • No experimentation or analytics to speak of.
  • Limited targeting sophistication compared to LaunchDarkly.
  • Small vendor.
  • Post-acquisition roadmap now sits inside Harness's broader platform strategy.
  • Requires meaningful event instrumentation before the impact analysis is useful.
  • Opaque enterprise pricing.

Best for

Teams that want simple, cheap flags accessible to the whole company.

Teams that want every release measured, not just deliberate experiments.

All of these integrate with: Slack, Jira, Datadog.
