Convert Experiences vs Unleash
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.

From $299 per month (Growth, paid annually, 100k tested users; $399 monthly)
Trial onlyFrom $75 per seat/month (Pay-As-You-Go, 5-seat minimum self-hosted)

Strengths
- Unlimited experiments and seats, so nobody rations testing to save licence cost.
- Serious privacy posture with EU hosting and no data resale.
- Transparent, published pricing.
- Local evaluation means no user data leaves your infrastructure — a strong GDPR position.
- Mature, well-documented open-source core with no artificial crippling.
- Kubernetes and Terraform support for infrastructure-as-code workflows.
Limitations
- Client-side only — no server-side experimentation.
- No feature-flag capability.
- Smaller vendor with a modest ecosystem.
- Experimentation and analytics are thin; it is a flag system first.
- Self-hosting means you own uptime for something in your request path.
- Smaller ecosystem than LaunchDarkly.
