Convert Experiences vs Flagsmith
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.
Entry price
From $299 per month (Growth, paid annually, 100k tested users; $399 monthly)
Trial onlyFrom $40 per month (Start-Up, billed yearly; $45 monthly)
Free tierWhat drives the bill
The metric that actually scales your invoice.
Priced only on tested traffic — unlimited experiments, domains and users at every tier. Growth is $299/month paid annually ($399 monthly) for 100k tested users; Pro starts around $420/month annually.
Free covers 50k requests a month and one seat; Start-Up raises that to 1M requests and 3 seats, Scale-Up is $250/month yearly. Considerably cheaper than LaunchDarkly, and self-hosting removes usage pricing entirely.
Free tier
15-day trial.
Free cloud tier with a monthly request allowance; open-source self-hosting is unlimited.
